I think: "There There" (The Boney King of Nowhere) God = The Boney King of Nowhere There There = Thom Yorke's sympathy for the human race. "In pitch dark, I go walking in you landscape"= I trust you to guide me where I need to go. "Broken branches trip me as I speak"= you let me fall when I trusted you. "Just cause it feels there, doesn't mean its there"= god isn't there, he's just in your head. It's possible: Thom Yorke has searched for god for a long time and could never seem to find him and now he just thinks god doesn't exist. "There's always a siren, singing you to shipwreck"= Something calls to you and tells you this is the right way but when you get there you crash and fall. "don't reach out" = don't even listen. I think this song is done from a sympathetic and mournful point of view. The rest of the song is easy to figure out after the information I've supplied. Draw your own conclusions, This is just my interpretation. |

| Radiohead – 2 + 2 = 5 (The Lukewarm) Lyrics | 21 years ago |
|
I love the song, but I recently read the lyrics and was a bit disturbed because I felt like the song was written about me or someone like me. Let me tell you why: "Are you such a dreamer to put the world to rights" this part got me thinking...I'm a musician who writes songs about the downfall of our world and how to cure it. "I'll stay home forever where two and two always make up five" I recently dropped out of school to pursue my band full time. I stay home all the time and I've felt that I've sort of deviated from the lifestyle and learning that school suggests. "I'll lay down the tracks sandbag and hide" I record all the time and work my ass off doing so. "January has April's showers and two and two always makes up five" sometimes I forget what day it is and months just seem like weeks and seldomely I forget what month it is. Now here for the scary part. "It's the devil's way now, and It's too late now, you can scream you can shout, but its too late now......Because! You've not been paying attention. payin' attention payin' attention" this part made me cringe it made me paranoid, scared, and genuenly shitty. Read the lyrics and try to put yourself in my position, the song might make alot more sense. This is just my interpretation, "2+2=5" is probobly about Bush. |
