The lyrics "But when I reach for you, there's just the supercut" are the most painful lyrics in this song, perhaps even the entire Melodrama album. She wants to reach out to her ex-lover like before, but all she has now are the pixelated memories from videos and images replaying in a loop, in her mind. It's the hardest part about lost love. Even when they are gone, the thoughts of better times linger for ever. Hence the "super cut". An endless flash of images in your head, that can't be erased or diluted, but are not tangible, even though we just want to reach in there and grab them. To hold on for dear life.
