| Radiohead – Blow Out Lyrics | 12 years ago |

This song is on infectious replay in my brain for the past week. I relate to it so much; not just now, but in a big picture sort of way. The lyrics are sparse and extra metaphorical, which lends to endless array of possible interpretations. For me, the song is about a person who has spent their life with an overwhelming tendency toward romanticism, paired with an unfortunate, overshadowing fear of heartbreak. The result of which is one desperately reaching out, and then desperately fleeing the scene, trying to forget, crawling into one's cocoon, wearing the mask of cavalier, unable to act, but ultimately regretting inaction. The song is a hot river of emotion imploding in itself because he's too repressed to truly "crack out" into the volcano that it implores. It turns to stone. |
