I believe it was in a Chuck Klosterman interview with Radiohead that I read Thom Yorke puts lyrics into songs just because he likes how the words sound. Way too much can be read into his lyrics. It's a pretty song.

If that were entirely true (and it could very well be), then it's very frustrating.

The thing is; I think Yorke purposely downplays the songwriting process... possibly to stop people like us from dissecting his lyrics. Yorke once pointed out that he'd rather people didn't analyze the words apart from the music because he viewed both as being inseparable. As much as is said about pulling lyrics out of hats, I don't think that Radiohead's creative process is nearly as random as they'd like us to think. It's obvious that a lot of thought goes into their work, and IMO...

she believes that because she's too stupid to understand any of the lyrics
