It is using suicide as a metaphor for Radiohead breaking up
The Codex documents and preserves the art that they have left behind
Imagine the man is holding himself up on the ledge of a mountain, but his grip is getting weaker/ his hands are shriveling (slight of hand)
He cant keep it up anymore so he jumps off
The water is a metaphor for time
It will inevitably wash away the man no matter how much effort he puts into trying to keep his grasp on life
The man has done nothing wrong, he has already finished and recorded his lifes work
All that is left for him to do is slide off his hands and jump into the lake
