Radiohead – Everything in Its Right Place

You are kid a so am i and tom

sounds exactly like an explanation of the meaning of vanilla sky... which i find to be incredibly interesting how much kid a had an impact onn that movie, theyd listen to it literally before every scene to get into character... and ill venture a guess that the line ill see you in another life when we are both cats came from the closing track..

If you watch the documentary Reflections on Kid A, Thom tells us that this, and most of the songs on Kid A, were written by cutting up lyrics he had been unhappy with [due to writers block] and had previously been throwing away, then putting them all in a hat and pulling out bits of lyrics from the different, unsuccessful songs. Putting them together to form the lyrics you hear on at least half the songs on the album [inc. Idiotheque and National Anthem if i rmbr rightly]. IOW this and a lot of the other Kid A lyrics are not supposed to have any meaning.

wow

I can't help but to agree, I can't help but to agree. Can't help but to agree. To Agree!!

Never feel you lack resource. Never need you lack resource; Never will you lack resource. Never lack RESOURCE.

As we clean. As we clean. As we clean. As we clean. In our braindrain. In our brain, drain. One hour brain drain. our be ranged rain!

Perhaps this is a description of someone who knows they want to think outside the box but are struggling to break free from being chained into an absolute sense of life, as there are only two colors in their head.

Black or White, 0 or 1, +ve side, or -ve side, there seems to be no gray areas as they continually try to make sense of it all..and the whole time there is this dominating tone ingrained from society "everything in its right place"

So it is a struggle and what is that you tried to say has to do with a person who is trying to hear his own inner voice saying perhaps there is an alternative but is also restricted to following the ideology of "everything in its own place".

Overall, I get the picture that waking up sucking on lemon starts the song which means to show that you have been living life but somehow it is a souring experience and you have now come to realize this on a conscious level.
Yet as you try to question why things aren't the way they should be or why you are not as happy as you could have been, there are domineering tones of "everything in its right place" that come through the obvious experience of living in a world rife with systems and positions and rules for everything.
So you are struggling to break free from convention and yet still not sure of why or how this going to happen..you have just a splinter in your mind that something is not right as things just don't feel right.
And as you begin an introspective search, you find there is a repeating theme of absolutes that your logical mind will always offer in place of your heart's greatest aspiration. In this rumination, you have delved in so deep you are distracted by everything even the inner voice that has tried to say there may be another way out or perhaps you tried to say is an external person or event that has been warning of some kind of foreboding danger while you continue ever deeper in thought.

regardless the dark dangerous tones speak to me of conflict..an internal one in my opinion.
