| This is definitely the inspiration of the song. "Strobe lights and blown speakers..." etc gives it away. I think most people have their own interpretations of this song based on the main lyric "I'm not here, this isn't happening" but Thom for sure wrote this from a place of desperation when dealing with the lunacy of having to live up to "best band on the planet" hype at the time. | |

| Forgot to mention that the verse above was replaced by the "You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking" verse. So the version we're all familiar with is a re-write. | |

In an early (99') acoustic version of this song Thom sings a verse that does not appear on the final 09' version: "She stands stark naked And she beckons you to bed. Don't come. You only, want to come back again." To me this alludes to a kind of Greek-mythology-sirens-beckoning thing. It's also where the song probably got it's title. Another post mentions an old comment from Thom about men and women and sex. I think that this dropped lyric indicates his original idea for the song. Personally, I like the version on In Rainbows better because it is open to a much wider interpretation. A better song that way. The only other lyric change in the early version is that instead of: "You paint yourself white" He says something kind of funny: "You paint your ass white." |
