@[Waterfall123:42553] this is absolutely the correct interpretation. Anyone who's been to a small coastal town in northern England knows exactly what this song is about. The speaker is comparing the greyness of everything to the typical weather in these places (which is also very overcast and grey). He's saying it infects everything including people living there. That's what the strange dust is. He's saying everything is slow, no one is going anywhere. The greatest prospect in this place is to "win yourself a cheap tray," from a from an unimpressive fish and chips with greasy food and bad tea. He calls it grease tea. Some lyrics are a lot less metaphorical than many commenters here realize. The speaker truly hates the town and wishes it would get bombed into oblivion. A love how people "look into the meaning behind the words" and in the process, lose the meaning OF the words. Some of the interpretations here are just way off. |

@[atomic1067:37330] No matter how I interpret this. When I go beyond the song itself, I can't help but feel that Yorke is calling the listeners Dreamers. The only mention of "We" in the song could also refer to Radiohead "serving" the listeners. Like many Radiohead songs, there is room for multiple layers of meaning. I'm inclined to agree with Yorke that the listeners are dreamers. We've come to Radiohead to dream. And Radiohead is there to serve. I can imagine the fans coming to Yorke with their insane interpretations of his songs, and he just smiles and says thanks to his fans, who never learn. |

@[Ricesoup:37319] the white room is a mental hospital. The Listener is insane. He doesn't know he's a dreamer. He may even be talking about other dreamers as if he's not one of them. But he is. He's broken. The white room by the window is where he belongs. The people serving is the staff at the mental hospital. They're serving you. |

Nolf This is about a dreamer (crazy person). At first, a professional is explaining to somebody that dreamers never learn. Beyond the point of return. It's too late. The damage is done. The world has broken "them." He's explaining this to YOU. You are the listener. The way the psychologist or nurse or orderly is explaining this and repeating himself in the song indicates that perhaps he's talking slow or trying to get you to understand something you're not willing to. It's all pointless though (because you never learn). The orderly shows you back to the white room you recognize so you can dream by the window. The staff explains that they're there to serve you, just like the dreams serve a broken mind. It's the last verse of the song that definitively reveals that the dreamer is YOU. Not some third party. Nolf... I don't know what to say about that interpretation... I know that a lot of radiohead's music is quite abstract... But.... But your interpretation... It's so wrong it's almost comical. This song is easy to understand. I can only imagine how you've interpreted the more complicated songs. |

Dreamers [Checked out from reality. Crazy people] They never learn [They cannot progress] They never learn [New information is irrelevant because they never learn] Beyond, beyond the point Of no return Of no return [The tether's been cut. It's impossible for "them" to come back] And it's too late [A time where anything could have been done has long passed] The damage is done The damage is done [Whether physical or emotional, we'll never know. But there's irreversible damage] This goes Beyond me [The condition is beyond the speaker's professional ability] Beyond you [It's also beyond the listeners ability. By now we're getting the feeling of a professional trying to explain this to the listener to make the listener understand] The white room [You recognize this room] By a window Where the sun comes Through [This might your favorite spot. The orderlies are showing you to where you belong] We are [The staff] Just happy to serve Just happy to serve You [Ah. It's finally revealed. You were the dreamer all along] I get the feeling that the staff has explained this to The Listener hundreds of times. Somewhat willing The Listener to understand. But the listener never learns. Dreamers don't know they are dreamers. And in the end, it's always back to the white room and the window. It's better that way. The dreams serve The Listener just like the staff. They offer the listener comfort in a world that has somehow broken The Listener... There are many ways to interpret this. It's Yorke the staff and are we the dreamers? Does this song serve it's broken audience? Are we enjoying our window where the sun comes through? There are lots of ways to digest this intellectually... Do we need to talk about some of the insane interpretations on this site? What lunatic thought this was about global warming? Do they belong in a white room by a window? It's debatable... I don't want to be a jerk. Anybody is free to interpret things however they'd like. But I will say, this is one of the simpler Radiohead songs to understand. How can people get it so wrong? I hate to say that because it makes me sound arrogant. But have you read some of the drivel these people wrote about this? Oh My God! I can't help wondering what Yorke must think about some of these ridiculous interpretations. Is he laughing? I bet he is. |
