Thom Yorke wrote this song. It had a very deep meaning to him. To Thom, the song had such a terrible meaning that he would not even explain it. Only Thom Yorke could understand it, that's why it confuses me that John Mayer would even cover it. He took the meaning that in had to Thom Yorke and turned it into nothing. If I were Thom, I'd be pissed.

I'm sure it did have a deep meaning for Thom and I can perfectly understand why. However the song can be deciphered a bit.

With that being said, John Mayer did a wonderful job.

Chibizena, the only lines in this song that to me have a universal meaning are as follows:
Chibizena, the only lines in this song that to me have a universal meaning are as follows:
"I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
"I slip away
I slipped on a little white lie
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists"
We've got heads on sticks
You've got ventriloquists"
When he says he slips away, he slips away in his mind. I slip away myself so I can relate. Into a mental void. So dark, so deep. Emptiness....
When he says he slips away, he slips away in his mind. I slip away myself so I can relate. Into a mental void. So dark, so deep. Emptiness. De-realization
When he says we've got heads on sticks he means that we as a people are partly controlled by those in power. Trust me when I say that there are people who are aware that we are unaware.
You've got ventriloquists is just an artistic expression of the line above interconnected in a poetically written verse. But basically states that we have controllers just as a wooden dummy has a puppet master.
As far as the rest goes, "Standing in the Shadows at the end of my bed" and "The rats and children follow me out of town"
I cannot say.
I hope that I have shed light for you on this song. I myself have heard this song time after time and always question to myself what are it's meanings. I just came to the realization all of a sudden and basically face-palmed myself because it was so obvious.
"The minds of a few rule the minds of many." And the vast majority of us had better start waking up to that fact.
