Radiohead Lyrics
FORMED: 1989, Oxford, England
Radiohead is widely regarded as one of the world's most
important bands of today. While their debut was rather
modest, they were shot to stardom after the success of "OK
Computer" - a success that few probably would have expected
or predicted when the five of them started playing together
in the early 80s after meeting at Abingdon School in
Oxford.
Thom Yorke was the driving force of the band. He was
singing in the punk band TNT, but asked the TNT bass
player, Colin Greenwood, if he wanted to join him More...

Review about Radiohead songs
whats the big deal? | Reviewer: anon
------ About the song 2+2=5 performed by RadioheadLilydo, maybe people might like to give their opinions regarding the song, not just Thom's. The world would be a very boring place without opinion, reflection and viewpoints - and ironically, that's what this song regards. Touche.
Correction- meaning of airbag | Reviewer: Mk
------ About the song Airbag performed by RadioheadAirbag is indeed about a car crash thom and his girlfriend experienced. This explains his intense fear of cars.
So yes, the lyrics, " I'm amazed that I survived... An airbag saved my life"..
If you listen to the the song, the beginning sounds like a car wreck...which is what he wanted to come across... Just like how "No Surprises" intro sounds like a lullaby.
unreconciled love | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song True Love Waits performed by Radioheadthere is definitely a level of frustration in this song. --> 1st verse is about what he's willing to do to be with her (drown my beliefs, dress like a neice, wash feet). --- 2nd verse is his analysis of how he is spending his life. he's living a life for someone else, but shes not living her life for him, he just keeps spending time with her killing time. Tiny hands and crazy kitten smile are the cheap cute things that keep him coming back. --- 3rd verse brings this scenario full circle, A guy who loves a girl (for murky, unclear reasons) who doesn't love him but she's still a friend on some level or at least someone he sees often. The 'love lives in an attic', untouched, because she refuses to receive it. It 'lives on lollipops and crisps', positive connotations that refer to happier times.
Uhm | Reviewer: whatever
------ About the song High and Dry performed by RadioheadThis song is about a girl who's boyfriend is a thrill seeker that likes to jump his motorcycle. She's worried he'll crash and want her help. He even broke the bike's mirror while putting the bike in the truck, sing of bad luck and the second time he did that.
This time she had to sweep it up, when it used to be he'd sweep. Its like he's not himself.
Now he's off jumping, that jerk.
She's the best thing that he ever had, and when he's paralysed, she's outta there.
the antibiotics | Reviewer: davman
------ About the song Fitter Happier performed by RadioheadI honestly think that all of the things described in the song are the anti-biotics that permit us to be caged. Behind the positive messages of getting along with our coworkers and living a safe life are cues that prevent us from seeing the bigger picture... that we are constantly oppressed.
Without these things, without the anti-biotics, life in this world would be so unbearable that we will actually resist and fight back. But that's the point. That's why we are constantly bombarded with them.
Sad, very sad. But very astute in part of Radiohead.
Fahrenheit 451 | Reviewer: stagga
------ About the song True Love Waits performed by RadioheadThe line "I'm not living, I'm just killing time" is a slight alteration of a quote from this Ray Bradbury novel- also alluded to in the cover of Amnesiac (the library book packaging)
I'm pretty sure it's "I'll dress like your nurse" though isn't it? That makes more sense than niece.
Depression | Reviewer: Daniel
------ About the song Just performed by RadioheadYou know when you get into a funk despite the fact that you are surrounded by people. I think that lies beneath the lines:
"Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends"
He also talks about how much of the problems that get you into that funk are self-created, right here: "You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts".
Anyway, that's my best guess. My first language isn't english so excuse me for the grammar mistakes.
perception | Reviewer: Jake
------ About the song 2+2=5 performed by RadioheadThe song is about perception.You can relate it to any kind of perception: love, health,society, politics ... it's about understanding and perceiving things , and the way you react to it(how york would react to it)
My mind's interpretation is... | Reviewer: SaykoPa Yan Yan (facebook only)
------ About the song Fake Plastic Trees performed by RadioheadI'm sorry for destroying these moments by posting this post.
It is simply connected to their song called "creep". I'm not sure of what does the song composer looks like. But my brother said that the composer hates surgery. And probably the composer's ugly. So he composed "creep"
now let's go back to this song. Its all about a person he/she loves. But that person have no single taste for him/her. Because that person likes cute, hunky/sexy, handsome/beautiful persons. In other words, "almost perfect"
i dunno if this is the real meaning. But this is what I've experienced in my 4-year love life. Wherein I'm waiting for a girl who broke my silence with a single glance. Ohh yes that eyes. That smile... Anyways, that's what I feel as this music plays. XD
Mixing it up | Reviewer: billreynolds
------ About the song Airbag performed by RadioheadThough I know very little about what Radiohead have said in relation to this song, there seem to be several main themes present. Firstly, the band have stated that OK Computer is loosely a concept album based on The Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy, so this accounts for the futuristic feel to some of the lyrics- 'In the next world war..', 'an interstellar burst, Im back to save the universe'.
Secondly, surely there is a religeous undertone to the lyrics? 'I am born again', 'In the deep, deep sleep of the innocent' 'Im back to save the universe'
Lastly, I very much doubt this is a song about a car crash. 2 of the 4 'verses' bear no reference to car crashes, lucky escapes or near death experience. I would suggest also that Thom Yorke despises the kind of consumerist that brags about having a 'fast, german car' (this is much more plainly stated in the following song on the album). An airbag could be a metaphor for anything that you perceive has saved you-perhaps, religeon saving the soul of the business man in the fast german car.
This theory is based on the idea that Thom actually wanted a theme behind the lyrics, or just wanted the lyrics to have a certain feel to them.
