After further listening, I think this song is about Thom Yorke's partner telling him to get over his self-doubts about his abilities as a musician. I've heard and read a lot of interviews with Thom about his album. He seemed to have put off doing this for a long time because he had never worked on his own on the musical side of recording. The allies are the people who believed that he could do it and make it work.
