Lozenge of Love Lyrics
I am gone
Everybody's waiting
And these fruit
Just a twist of poison
I won't be alone
When you're running in me
I can't stay
Like I'm somewhere always
I need more
A restless body cracks and rolls
I won't have the strength
When you're running in me
"I am gone, everybody's raging...And these fruits, they still taste of poison..."
"I won't be around, When you really need me" -The person is basically saying that although the listener is here for him when he needs them, that he can't guarantee the same for when the listener needs help. "I can't sleep, why can't someone hold me...I need warmth, my restless body cracks and moans..." -The person is saying how much he yearns for love/support, and how lonely he feels inside. "I won't have the strength...When you really need me..." -He is not capable of returning the emotion the listener has given him because of his insecurities and/or self-absorption.
The lyrics of this song just speak out to me. It's about not believing in yourself, of knowing that you are not strong enough for the one you love. It's about being so absorbed in yourself that everything you once thought important falls apart. It's lying in bed at night and knowing that you're going to fuck it up so certainly that it's as if you've already thrown it away.
I won't be around when you really need me
the title lozenge of love is taken from a larkin poem called 'sad steps'...
Groping back to bed after a piss I part thick curtains, and am startled by The rapid clouds, the moon's cleanliness.
Four o'clock: wedge-shadowed gardens lie Under a cavernous, a wind-picked sky. There's something laughable about this,
The way the moon dashes through clouds that blow Loosely as cannon-smoke to stand apart (Stone-coloured light sharpening the roofs below)
High and preposterous and separate - Lozenge of love! Medallion of art! O wolves of memory! Immensements! No,
One shivers slightly, looking up there. The hardness and the brightness and the plain Far-reaching singleness of that wide stare
Is a reminder of the strength and pain Of being young; that it can't come again, But is for others undiminished somewhere.
..this makes me think maybe its about getting old and dying whilst the rest of the world carries on, 'I am gone, everybody's raging'. i don't know if radiohead took the whole idea from larkin or just the line...

i like listening to this song but don't really understand it so thanx guys for the interpretations. i think this song is a taste of what is to come later with Kid A and subsequent albums
beautiful song; amazing guitar; simple lyrics. what more can i ask more?
The best underrated Radiohead song.
So great. When I play it, I get goosebumps. This song is one of my all time favorites.
"I won't be around/ When you really need me."
[Sorry baby...]
If anyone has this song, I would really appreciate it if they could e-mail it to me or IM me. You can get all my info my clicking on my name.
"My restless body cracks some more" should be "my restless body cracks and moans"
