These Are My Twisted Words Lyrics

These are my twisted words
Went off the roof still walking
I know I should not look down
But I'm so sick of just talking

When are you coming back?
I just can't handle it
When are you coming back?
I just can't handle it

When are you coming back?
I just can't stand it
I just can't handle it

musically excellent. released mysteriously today. will be interesting to see what info unfolds.... likely RH's new and innovative way of releasing digital material.

lyrically, seems pretty straight-forward: longing for someone who is leaving. perhaps knowing that he should continue life's upward climb, and not look down and get scared. but doing so anyway.

Beautiful song. Definitely captures the feeling of being obsessed with someone who is far away and not knowing when, if you'll get to see them again in the flesh.

no doubt... this is so true

someone is moving. antoher watches and tries to be happyyet cant help but question^. the long intro is like a long wait before dialogue perhaps.

This song sort of grows inside you. The beginning 3 minute instrumental has made me cry. When I first listened to it, I thought it just sort of meanders and doesn't go anywhere, but the beauty is in the short rises and falls, the small build and it's extreme intensity that seeps into every wandering note.

totally agree, sums it up

This is the start of a number of new songs to be released, they're debuting new material (this included) at Reading and Leeds festivals.

Amazing song. I believe its describing the worries that us Radiohead fans about the latest interviews where it was made clear that there wasn't goin to be a full album release in the near future. I think they are just assuring us that new songs are coming just not on a full album. I may be wrong but its comforting to believe either way.

I think it's about Jesus/God (or at least that that interpretation contributes significantly to the song's meaning).

This songs all right to chill out to, but the live version is a lot more psychedelic and fun.

But that's to be expected

Live Radiohead > Studio Radiohead

My Opinion

the second line is definitely "went off the roof still walking"

This isn't Looney Tunes! If the chick went off the roof still walking, she wouldn't bounce back to face another day like Wiley Coyote.
