Christ, I never even thought of that as a possibility. His 2007 version played in Paris is so much more melancholy than the version on Thrills. My mother passed in November, she was like that. Such an idealist, she wanted me to be more than I could be. Such a damn tragedy when our wishes and our ways seldom cross paths. |

| I'm I the only person who laughed there ass off when Kanye starts calling his girl a robocop? I still laugh just thinking about it. | |

I have to say that I agree with XThrowingmusesx2. Thats the most accurate interpretation I've heard yet. I think that it points to how everything we see and measure is inaccurate, our descriptions of reality are, "broken". I have that feeling very palpably right now even as I write this. (There is no way I can accurately account for the depth, beauty, and meaning that Radiohead is conveying here.) They go further saying that this state of affairs is all encompassing, and that it's our nature to try to squash this subtle sense that something is wrong. "why can't you forget?" We even break the rules to try and put this suffering at an end, but it still persists. For me there is a great catharsis when I realize that everyone is feeling this same thing, that being broken is okay. It's even an ideal state in a strange way, to know the truth about our situation without flinching. To embrace it with love, it moves me to tears with compassion about our state of affairs as humans. |
