i think the band said publicly that the song was about rush hour traffic tho im not sure.
ive always thought it was about how many people die in car accidents, and how the jaws of life cut a car so it can be opened like a can of sardines or is a reference to someting some existentialist said i think sartre about 'the most common human experience is waiting for a bus' and how most people always seem to be looking for a way to 'ride along' with someone elses ideals, or popular trends and activities, rather than finding the courage to live their own life and give their own life meaning. i'm also reminded of something i saw on the radiohead website that said " I live a wallpaper life "
