Ok re-thought it and I have to agree now with what many other people have said here.
Its the Radiohead standard- the agony of modern life, the crushing burden of getting up every day & doing the same thing as the same person, which has pushed the narrator to the breaking pt.; he's got nothing left and here by tranquil secluded riverside by twilight is seeking to wash it all away, just let it all go if only for a precious moment, be innocent & free like the water, just be. A kind of death but def not the vulgar suicide sing-along type of No Surprises or How To Disappear Completely. The peace has been found in the moment of the thing (judging by the utterly gorgeous night-time ambience) by letting go of his identity.
i love Radiohead, i wish more bands would go to these places
