| Radiohead – Life in a Glasshouse Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
In keeping with Radiohead's theme with Ok Computer and Kid A, Amnesiac is all about Totalitarianism and its effect on humans. Thom once said in an interview that Kid A was like standing at the top of a mountain looking down at a burning town and that Amnesiac was like standing inside that town as it burned. It's a metaphor for totalitarianism that works almost perfectly. Imagine the world you live in is a house. Now imagine that house has NO PRIVACY. Sound familiar? now imagine this house has glass walls! Everyone can hear and see everything you do. So you have to be very careful not to offend anyone. Or they might paper up the walls to cut you out, but as much as you want to sit and chew the fat, there's always someone listening in. There's no secrets. The bit about lynching is the angry invoked by the governing body to occupy their time and frustration so they don't aim it at the people who are always listening in. But a lynch mob might just end up throwing the wrong stone, and bring everything collapsing down around us. That's my two bits. Read 1984. It's obviously a huge influence on Thom's lyrics. |

Thank you, very helpful! And yes, I knew it wasn't a Ragnarok song. No talk of Odin's battle or anything. Also, I posted these based on copies I was listening to on Youtube. :P The quality was less than adequate. |

It's about cops and robbers, old west style. Criminals in the Wild West and the mad dogs that went-man hunting after them. |
