@[jady:40766] Thank you for highlighting the historical significance of this release. It\'s valuable to recognize that this album was recorded during the build up to the Iraq War, which had the largest worldwide pre-war protests in history. I\'ll add an additional interpretation of the phrase "go to sleep" as it may reference what the giant needs to do if Lillputians are to tie him down. Although I don\'t think Yorke\'s lyrics are intended to be taken a number of ways, I\'m quite fond of this phenomenon. For instance, he says Sail to the Moon was written as a message of hope for his child, but I always hear the lyrics as tragically desperate. |

This is a nature babtism. The issue is guilt. The water is purifying. The line after dragonflies is "fly to the side." They represent he's not alone with nature and they are yet another example of how little danger there is of hurting someone else with this solitary action. |

What is Dutailee? Live David Hinds adds "it's what we crave" and mentions Ethiopia between songs. Is it Ethiopian? |

| Radiohead – Sail to the Moon. (Brush the Cobwebs Out of the Sky.) Lyrics

This song is about embracing disillusionment, but wanting to dream about hope. In youth we may have naive lofty ambitions, but at one point we may realize we cannot save the world. It is impossible to be a world leader and retain a solid sense of ethics. "Maybe you'll be President and know right from wrong" and if you can do that you can sail us all to the moon. It is difficult to give up dreams. Sailing to the moon is beautiful idea. Maybe it can happen, but sadly unlikely. The lyrics fit well with 2+2=5 where idly believing everything is okay requires practicing illogic; someone had freshly read 1984. |

i love reading everyone's interpretations. sometimes death is a metaphor. sometimes lyrics are meant to be taken more than one way. i would like to add that with our smart phones and youtube we're getting it all recorded. there is some tongue in cheek humor here recording our death on video. i'm definitely gonna have my smart phone with me; gotta put those pearly gates on youtube! |

the dollar is devalued and work ethic is an oppressor. your own self worth is not the money you make, it's who you are. |

I always thought that line was mad mother f-ckers. It sounds distorted on my version as if it's censored. Either way an awesome song that continues to ring true as a sarcastic view of media. How we love it and how we love to be suckered by it. Ultimately anti-news for the blind .."ain't got no eyes" The main line of the song "sunday papers" is pretty much a bygone era. people loved the sunday paper. now news is online, or on television. it's still "don't tell no lies". ha! |

nearly 2 million comments! wow.
lyrically echoes is one of pink floyd's few positive songs. it is metaphorically a spiritual: seeking light from the ocean floor, seeing oneness in a strangers eyes, being receptive to waking and greeting the light of the morning window.
the ambient bridge is the dark existential moment to balance things off, or to aspire from |

jocularjosh has said it best. this is a man bit with the poison of power ...and radiohead making money has become a part of the power structure. its been suggested instead of "Kicking out the wall" that the line is "I'm puking on the wall" ... it is a man sick with power... and he wants more. |

let me generallize a bit more... the green folks needn't be terr'ists... they are basically opposed to just about every one of his policies... good reason to sniff 'em out... "ya got 24 hours to go." Are you one of them? |
