Decks Dark Lyrics

Cover art for Decks Dark lyrics by Radiohead

After the news of the death of Rachel Owen, long time partner of Thom Yorke, the song reads like a very personal farewell after the news of her inevitable death. On the printed "lyrics" in the album box set, some alternative additional lyrics are included that are even more explicit. E.g. "You are terminal, and you are within me // You will get your reward in heaven" (see https://s3-eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/centaur-wp/creativereview/prod/content/uploads/2017/01/decks-dark.jpg)
