The Present Tense Lyrics

Cover art for The Present Tense lyrics by Radiohead

It reminds me of "the joke" written by "Milan Kundera".Well maybe because Im reading the book by now and all my mind is badly stuck with it.But well,leading a life of disappointing thoughts of your future,hard work in a mine and living in almost a prison,and then ignoring this all by loving the most simple girl in the world,is the feeling that both this song and the book are giving me.The hero of the book is passing his worst times of life,rejected by both the university and Communism party,living in a military base and working in mines as his penalty,suffering from all the thoughts and sorrows surrounding his mind,but then he falls in love with some girl he wouldnt even look at if he was in another time.Some girl that you just care about to forget your dull time,but suddenly you find yourself in love with her,as if shes the most precious thing youve ever had in your life.Just like dancing in a deadly silent place with no music playing around you,as tears are gathering in your eyes but you`re keeping on dancing and dancing.
