For a moment I thought D.H Lawrence came back to life, dropped acid, and then wrote about it. Amazing! Whoever you are, you have the great ability to paint a picture with pure words. Although many can do it, very little can do it well. Truly amazing. |

It's unrealistic to believe the song can actually talk about suicide. Yes, the speaker does feel inadequate in front of the person he is talking about, however, the words "What the hell I'm I doing here" cannot be interpreted as a sign of wanting to die. It should actually be seen as a sign of inadequacy and misplacement in a certain social sphere.Is the speaker infatuated with a popular/prep/athletic/extremely pretty/really smart...type of girl/boy? When he's just an average person? The speaker most likely has an inferiority complex, he exalts the girl/boy: "You're just like an angel, you skin makes me cry", when you look at someone at such proportions the only way you can look at yourself as inferior, which the speaker does feel since he earlier says "Couldn't look you in the eye...skin makes me cry". So for those that say that part of the song can be interpreted as the speaker wanted to die, (in my opinion) are way off the mark. By the way please don't give me crap by not specifically stating whether Yorke is talking about a girl or boy, both genders can relate to this song so there is no need to specify what sex he's talking about. =) |

I'm not sure I agree, but I have to say that this has to be the one of the most interesting interpretations of this song so far on this website. How would you explain the chorus though, and relate it back to your interpretation? |

First off, I LOVE your Queen allusion on your display name. AMAZING! And yes this song is a real downer but realistic, I think it's safe to assume that most people have felt this way about someone at one point in their lives. |
