Cymbal Rush Lyrics

Lyric discussion by fragmentation 

Cover art for Cymbal Rush lyrics by Thom Yorke

A Cymbal rush is a very loud and very rappid sequence of cymbal strikes that creates an almost overwhelming sound....much like crashing waves.

To me, this song is about how the world ends.

The imagery of the song reminds me of the Tsunami and Hurrican Katrina but its much deeper then that.

Its masterfully done, the words carry such heavy cannotations that envoke the strongest of feelings. This is one of those rare songs that speaks for all sorts of situations, be it a crisis in your life or the very end of existence, this song recognises the pain in us all.

I think you hit the nail on the head there.
