This song is NOT ABOUT THE DEVIL despite Thom York saying it is. IO realise that the writer of the song saying so is pretty damning evidence but it clearly has nothing to do with somebody out to make you miserable, it's the opposite in fact, the song is aying everything is pointless and empty and sooner or later you will fade out and die. "Immerse your soul in love" at the end seems to be saying that the only escape is love but thats a load of rubbish and eveyone knows it, maybe radiohead wanted us to think that.
All you people who say you can't bear to listen to this song are pathetic (or liars) if you truly understood the message of the song it wouldn't matter whether you were listening to street spirit or surfing USA the depressing emptiness would always be with you. Enjoy!
