I've wondered lately if the Bends is about what becomes broken in human relationships...alienation and all that Radiohead M.O. It seems that while Radiohead albums are never hermetically-sealed Concept Albums, that they often have a cohesiveness based on the interests of the band at the time of recording.
This song seems to describe how someone can be so oblivious to the fact that she drives away the people she tries to impress and befriend. Similar to Fyodor Karamazov...only at times, I think he knows exactly what he is doing. Either that, or someone who constantly invites pathological relationships. In either case, the obliviousness of the subject seems key.
