@[DeadPoetsSociety:21030] I think you are right on. "Come down off your throne" - Because of their lust and desire, men put women on a pedestal (throne) and many women, if not most, take advantage of that to completely control them. "Leave your body alone" - Women use their bodies to achieve the control. "You are the reason I have waited all these years" - Men will patiently wait and suffer hoping against hope that the relationship will change and she will let go of his balls and emotions. "Somebody holds the key" - the woman is in charge of his life, his emotions, his fears, his joys and has the key to his entire being. "Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time, And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home" - He doesn't know how to break free and even if he could he is at a loss as to how to pickup the pieces of his life. He never had a life. It belonged to, and was controlled by, her. |

Sometimes certain things just happen at the same time. Carl Yung had a term for it. Syncronicity which holds that events are meaningful coincidences if they occur with no causal relationship, yet seem to be meaningfully related. My experience with this song is in that vein. I went through my whole life feeling just like the song describes. Somehow I never heard this song until recently right after I had been diagnosed as being Autistic. One of the characteristics of autism is the inability to look another in the eye and it was even one of the traits that helped diagnose me. And in a syncronistic way, as soon as I was diagnosed I heard the song and the first two lines grabbed me. I realized the song was a complete description of my life. I thought the song was written from the prospective of an autistic person. According to Thom Yorke it is about a drunk infatuated by a woman. Some of the statements he has made makes me think he is autistic and his saying the song is about a drunk is probably trying to hide his feelings about who or what he is. He later said he has a real problem being a man in the 90s and that is a telling clue. I have Asperger's Syndrome which is a mild form of autism also known as high functioning autism and in the DSM-5 it is now combined into the broader term Autism Spectrum Disorder. Knowing my own feelings and having studied autism in depth, I feel reasonably certain Yorke is autistic and the song is about himself. |
