I always kinda figured one of the band members found a little mouse (like in The Wall) and got sad as he watched it die.
Yes, that happened to Waters. Nothing to do with the song though. |

Actually I watched The Wall last weekend with the commentary by Waters and he referred to Syd as 'comfortably numb' and said about how drugs do that to you.
The point is that the song is not about when Waters got injected at a concert, and he just uses that as an analogy for people to understand what he feels about drug use.
Plus if you think the song doesnt allude to drug use you are just retarded. And if you think Waters would write a song that to understand you have to know his entire life story, beyond what's given in the lyrics, you should be dragged off now. |

I think it's amazing how so many people can have so many different ways of interpreting this song. And so many of the ways make sense man.
'By all means be open minded, but not so much so that your brain falls out'
It's about drugs. |

To liverdude, I know that Syd Barrett did a lot of that, using words for their sounds rather than meaning, and I suppose the Beatles did too, but I don't think that that's the case with Yes at all, this song especially.
I think that this song is about life, growing old, becoming wise, embracing the world, but there are elements of the lyrics I don't particularly understand. A large portion of Total Mass Retain appears to be about waking from a dream and I'm not quite sure of the context of a lot of the lines. |

Yeah doesn't suprise me. I saw Joey from slipknot play for metallica and he was better than Lars. Wish they had played this song with him, I bet he could do it. Not that Lars isn't a good drummer in his own right. |

The whole album reminds me of motorhead if you ask me, this song more than any. And wasn't Lars head of a Motorhead fan club for a while. They certainly show their roots.
Cliff was so trying to be Lemmy as well. |

Well you know I came up with an idea about this song a while ago. Right, how about if teh song was all about...
Michael Jackson!
Think about it, wouldn't you sleep with one eye open, gripping your pillow tight if you were a kid and Michael Jackson was around.
He's going to take you to 'never never land' or more specifically, the neverland ranch!!
Seems like Metallica were writing about smoething a lot more deep and scary than originally thought eh! |

The lyrics are actually summer sunday and a year and a time so strange should be a tongue so strange
And if this is about any drug Aminals, I think it should be Marijuana. The lines roll me up and lay me down, and lift your feet up off the ground ( a feeling of floating), plus the relaxed tone of the song, make me think that if it's referring to any drug its got to be that. |

wow, that's weird cause I just drew a slight parallel between idioteque and the matrix. The album came out long enough after then matrix to have incorporated it, but the world was still raving about the film. |

| Radiohead – Idioteque Lyrics

To the person who said that there is a hidden list of places where ice caps are melting in the kid A booklet, theres only one place that I can see words, and I can't make out what they say as bits are crossed out.
Anyway, I think this song is basically about premillenial angst. Everyone saying that this or that will bring the end of the world very soon, and all affirming that they arent just scaremongering, and people did even build nuclear bunkers.
A lot of people saw mobile phones as the icon of the late 90s, the rise of mobile phones showing the last major progression in communication of the 20th century. The matrix for example, is among the last major films of the 1990s, and it largely centered on the concept of people running around with mobile phones. Also people in panic are often seen calling people on mobiles, like after a car crash, and the chirping and schwerking shows the activity of them and the panic.
I think the title Idioteque refers to the people who buy into those ideas, people being easily led by the ideas of the coming apocolypse, doing the same dance. |

I was really hooked on this song a couple of weeks ago, and I was talking to my dad about music in general and he brought up this song as well. He said he used to get real drunk and drive home listening to this, and he'd always wait until it finished before he got out the car and went to bed, and that would complete the night for him. It's truly a beautiful song, and will be etched upon my memory as long as it has been on my dad's |

I also disagree with Kafziel. The women arent empty spaces at all. They are bricks in the wall, just another thing in life that causes him to put up this protective boundary around himself. Hence the line "How can I complete the wall in the previous song" just as it breaks into this. This is his way of distancing himself further from his family and his emotions, by sleeping with women he doesn't care about instead of spending time with his wife, therefore he's completing the wall. You aren't thinking within the context of the wall. |

Hey, the sax is good. Goes well in the song. Not like that sax solo in My Lovely Horse.
anyway I like the line
'money, it's a hit'
comparing it to a drug. Seems appropriate, as we can't seem to get enough of it, and our wholes live often seem devoted to obtaining more. |

Well the evidence for that is anicdotal at best. I think that Syd was as affected by life and new found fame as he was by drugs. |

Lyrically this is my fave song. Not by Pink Floyd, but ever. It isn't deeply poetic with meanings hidden behind metaphors. It's so frank and to the point, and I think almost everyone can relate to it.
I think everyone has been 'Waiting for someone or something to show you the way ' at one point. Just going along with life bored for the hell of it. This song is deeply meaningful and as shown by Mafer it can be life changing.
Brilliant. |

I see this song as sort of the final narrative. Pink Floyd's take on it, that as a band they are trying to reach people, but it's hard if they don't want to listen, trapped behind their wall. |

It may not be a suicide song, but surely the title and the lyrics convey sharp overtones of suicide. It may not be a literal suicide but it's as if he's killing off an aspect of himself. |
