@[BlakeNewland:22014] At the same time, in relation to escaping capitalism, I guess it could also be said that the car may represent trying to escape the trap of continuing to produce the same music, until it gradually becomes worse and worse. The car could simply represent Kid A as itself, as in Kid A is the vehicle in which they can escape from the dread of melting away into obscurity. It's definitely a stretch, but perhaps the car represents parallel ideas - escaping capitalism, but requiring capitalism to escape; escaping a supposedly inevitable trap of likeness in music, whilst having to continue producing music in order to change. Obviously these sides are different, as continuing to create music doesn't mean doing what you've done before, but there is a distinct similarity between the two. As you said, no-one understands Radiohead as a whole, it's impossible for someone to - unless of course you're in Radiohead. But, I personally feel that the car represents two separate metaphors, one being an escape from itself, and the other as being a vehicle to escape fading way. Apologies for this being a bit of a mess, but I'm a tad tired at the moment. |
