| Radiohead – Karma Police Lyrics | 5 years ago |

@[Boris:33237] Talavera I think you nailed it, :) Thom even stated it himself that its about meeting with crappy people who want to use you, plenty of them in the music industry. The guy is most probably a wheeler dealer money dude and the girl is most probably some kind of professional image maker and forcing the band into her idea of what looks cool and will sell more records ect. Radiohead were pretty burnt out from endless touring when they wrote the songs for “ok computer” and they had enough of being told what they needed to be by the record industry heads so they went there own way. “For a minute there I lost myself” is liberating because they will no longer be told what to do but will now command their own ship and sail where ever they like and thats exactly what they have been doing ever since. |

| David Gray – This Year's Love Lyrics | 8 years ago |
|
This song is best understood from the accompanying videoclip, We see the protagonist, and David himself both covered by clouds. A little child hands him a note with the words HOPE written on it. The next shot is of the protagonists doppelganger overwhelmed by insanity. This reflects that a decent into madness is possible, He is suffering the effects of cognitive dissonance. Next we see a smiling man, this represents religious belief. Next his girlfriend, she is protected by standing under an eve. She has accepted some of his worldview (more rain) but then runs away. He then try's to outrun the cloud but cannot as it follows him. He finally sits and reads the note which says between 5.5 longitude latitude. This is the calculation for a flat earth. He then follows the map to arrive at a place where others are obviously dealing with the consequences of obtaining knowledge which challenges everything they believe about the state of the world and reality, The protagonist then becomes david showing all along that he is the actual protagonist. |
