The Eraser Lyrics

Cover art for The Eraser lyrics by Thom Yorke

I felt very sad listening to the song but I couldn't give it some solid meaning. eaten by the worms, thank you so much, I realized why it was. Its a love song. I cant believe thom can write love songs still, he's married, not to mention.

why my fairytale arab princess? because she's so impossible to be real? or so beautiful for him? I love to search context in his songs.

as you say this song sounds like a sequel.

one love

but its so sad in a way. I feel to be a part of this. And I always criticize my behaviour and I feel like I might end up in this song. You know, I really feel sad for whatever thing is making him sad.

I feel I'm wrong. Always... that's why I seek for all the comments on songs. I want to understand them, see them from all people's eyes. I'm so afraid of not understanding him, or misunderstanding. And all the comments are wonderful anyways. I want to thank everybody on this site.You are generous people.

global warming. Thats really a scary&funny thing. A lurking monster. Like we've been lenghtening the human life spam and what for? to live in a radiation-hell landfill?? to destroy ourselves and our race with bombs? We save an embryo ethically to kill hundreds of children without a doubt in wars?? I'd say don't be funny but its far beyond any fun now. Its the final human tragedy. Its called "I dont know what to do" tragedy. we are just watching, while thom's singing, telling.

I hope there was some solution to all this and why not?

I dont want no future children to make wars for a glass of pure drinking water. Isn't it the same? 1 more litre of petroleum. 1 more piece of land under control. So inhuman. So unimaginably evil. For a short short life.

love is life. I feel so. there's no magic erasers for the errors we make continuously to the environment. there probably isn't a substitute planet that we'll use up. And we should care for the ones we love while we're still alive.
