| Radiohead – A Reminder Lyrics

You only love the way young people love when you are young. In your formative years, before, you get "mature" and before you know right and wrong, before you really care if what you are doing is right or wrong, and before you worry about being careful, you and your relationships have incredible purity and that is why it is important to have our crazy young-love relationships, even if almost none of them ever work out and many of those that do, really shouldn't have, its so we can look back, in the random little things that remind us of that person and in photographs and gifts, to remind us of that time when we were 'free and cool and ourselves.' That was a long sentence. |

| Gorillaz – Stylo Lyrics

At first I thought this song was about drugs, but now I really think its about a vibrator. Stylo's are shaped like penises and so are makos and so are vibrators! "Electric is the love," "Juice," "night after night, just to get through the week," "electric is the love." And c'mon, Mos! Pummell on the motherboard? Its about a girl gettting hooked on a dildo, or, msybe, a dude on porn, as an allegory for the words growing dependent on our technology. |

| Thom Yorke – Harrowdown Hill Lyrics

I am just amazed at Thom's songwriting here. I find it incredible that he could write a song with so much anger and resent ment, about a plitical murder, no less, and it still be so romantic and it appears to be more about Dr. Kelly's love for his his family (I'm coming home, I'm coming home, to make it alright so dry your eyes) than about anything else. Thom even said he was hesitant to write this song because it was aobut somebody who still had people who loved him and I think he did them justice. |

| Radiohead – The Trickster Lyrics
| 17 years ago

To me this song is about Aldous Hyxley's 'Brave New World' The Trickster could be the Savage Who is stuck "Only Halfway" between the civilized world and the life "lost in the moutains" where h feels "the air here is sacred, no matter what you say." Then he tries to run away and be harmless to society wanted him and wanted out so bad that they couldn't say that 'all things fall apart.'
Chestnut Trees in early Christianity were symbols of chastity, and the truant or troublemaker kids in BNW were morelikely to abstain from sex as it was glorified in the culture portrayed in the book. The 'perfect child facsimle' could be a clone but the fact that he uses the word facsimile really implies a fabrication, so what if the Savage is a fabrication of what the perfect child would have been in Huxley's day, a clean-living, intelligent child who spends his time forging his own life and quoting Shakespeare. Then Thom repeats the line "talking out the world" in succession implying that maybe the Savage gets a bit to close to the world this time and then he drops "this is only halfway" maybe saying that Savage really did cross the line into society... Just like in BNW.
It's probably wrong, but it sounds cool. |
