Sorry if this has been brought up b4 - just read old Rolling Stone piece on In Rainbows; they called this song "depressing, even by Radiohead standards". While I can't express my feelings about this song, I find it entirely uplifting. It's about a turning point. Something that really changes your life.

That's true. And I think it's about finding a balance between body and soul and trusting ones' instincts. If we can't, we're lost. The narrator is torn between these two sides in all of us, but he decides to take the step to change things for the best. Even if ultimately he might not end up where he expected.
