Saw this song from the Latitude 2009 concert (amazing solo Yorke concert, check it out on Youtube), very beautiful song, and I hope it makes it into their next album. The song seems to be about staying in motion, to avoid full realization of the person's present situation (which appears to be quite awful). It's sad, but the person is doing it all for love.
