Everyone has a pretty good explanation, although some put too much thought. It is nuclear war, never considered the eviromental thing. doesn't really fit. |

| Radiohead – The National Anthem Lyrics
| 21 years ago
|
|
Well, noting the name of the song it's probably about government (national anthem?). "Everyone is so near"-everyone is use to each other, easy to control. "What's going on?"-I don't believe he says this, maybe it's just me. "Everyone has got fear"-either means the citizens suspect something of their government or are ruled by fear (common in most societies). The sudden trumpet is when things start going wrong. Soon other instruments begin to join, and the drums begin to change: riots, mayhem, chaos; people are overthrwoing government. He screams "It's holdin' on" to signify that there is still some control. The 3rd time he is drowned out. the instruments still play and take on their own rythms. Soon the bass guitar stops-government is no longer present. The instruments play freely and horribly. Society has fallen apart. (grin)...maybe there's more to this song, but that's the basic of what I got. And the album version is better. Like the live recording though. |
