Radiohead – Pulk/Pull Revolving Doors Lyrics 16 years ago
Was reading comment thread and just had to sign up -
There are clearly multiple valid interpretations of this song:
1 - It's about doors. No more, no less.

2 - Doors are a metaphor for people,

3 - choices, or

4 - frames of perception.

Before I read all this, I thought of it as kind of a document of progress in treating some psychological illness, presumably depression. The wall of bass noise interspersed with clean patches of chimes are changing medications and briefly finding something that works, dropping back into noise when it ceases to work.

The apparent sidewaysness of the album could be a reference to the always-falling feeling some people get, me included.
