Radiohead 2+2=5 Lyrics

[13passiveaggressive]

meditation meditation, penetration medication



[bertprob]

You could do a Marxist, liberalist, feminist, nationalist reading of this song. But basically I just think Radiohead wanted to fuck with people

[Cammie1999]

@guitarsortagirl We'll never know

[nVtheWolF]

Who else wanted to know the lyrics after they saw the video to this??? Video is weird as hell!!!

[Thelndigo]

"Truth is stranger than fiction." -George Orwell

[guitarsortagirl]

@Thelndigo Why did it take me a whole page for me to find an Orwell quote on here? -_-

[superclaydude]

"2 +2 = 5" could be George Orwell's theme song. :P

[GersonoetRiessen]

Am i the only one who watch this video 0:00 - 3:24 ?

[MrColdheadRadioplay]

The verse seems to be depicting the government's control over people. "It's the devil's way now, there is no way out" The government is shown to be the devil, to be evil, and control, leaving no way out to its people.

"Don't question my authority or put me in the box"

This one is pretty self-explanatory - it's about prison, the police and ultimately, the government. Personally, I see it as a riot.

Radiohead is the best of the best in such a nasty time.

[MrLARIOS1977]

Radiohead rocks fuckers!!!!!!!!

[MrArmySkull]

do u mean just to tha f*ckin draws?! poor cows? that makes no sense...it´s about NOTHING!!!

[MrArmySkull]

the only one person who give the finger down maybe didn´t like NOTHING... except the shit...

[fissaqueen]

I wish people would stop comparing music to music. 'Real music' doesn't excist, but there is something called 'taste in music'. Not many people know that expression, apparently.

[brounos2006]

absolutly love this track, with all the crap in the charts at the moment its nice to listen to REAL music, wish people would stop comparing Radiohead to Muse, both are great bands

[anonymousQ45]

stop making stupid jokes about the song you fcking morons you clearly dont get the deeper meaning so you make retard jokes about the obvious fact that 2 and 2 DOESNT equal 5, the point is wen you are lied to enough an obvious fact can be distorted into whatever the manipulator wants you to think

[guitarsortagirl]

@anonymousQ45 Whatever The Party wants you to think.

[CarEdy23]

0 people suck, wait 0 people dislike this video Yay!!!

[TheEELeater]

Why does this song sound like Muse? ILOVEIT

[ippimerawr]

@TheEELeater you mean why do muse sound like this song?

[TheEELeater]

@ippimerawr Haha yeah, you could say that

[MrArmySkull]

it´s epic

[peaceOnEarth28]

THIS is ART!!

not lady gaga,kesha,bieber or rihanna,..

[MsRockedout]

@peaceOnEarth28 you got to respect all the types of music

[MrArmySkull]

@MsRockedout you have to respect my shit!... u don´t know nothing about global tendences!



[TheDeucetrey]

@peaceOnEarth28

why?

[peaceOnEarth28]

@TheDeucetrey because radiohead songs have true meanings it expresses your deep feeling that you cant share with no one , kesha rihanna and stuff is just all about party party drugs party being rich and sex

peace

[TheDeucetrey]

@peaceOnEarth28

i think thats what you interpret from their music dont get me wrong i dont listen to radiohead to get me in the happiest mode... true the music now doesnt have meaning like it once did. but music moves the body the soul and we gotta respect it... what would you want the music just to stop being made? there will always be good music but the bad music is what makes this music great.

[peaceOnEarth28]

@TheDeucetrey ur right dude :) i cant imagine to dance on a party with radiohead songs or something ,there you rly need kesha ,gaga etc the music has a great beat you can dance to but its just what I wanted to say,that this music touches the feelings from people maybe it sounds weird but when i listen to them i feel kind of understood..

[n00blord111]

@peaceOnEarth28 this is stupid

[peaceOnEarth28]

@n00blord111 honey, I don't want to contest your psychological competence but you are stupid.

[n00blord111]

@peaceOnEarth28 your mama is stupid

this is depressing, i will listen to this if i ever feel too happy

[peaceOnEarth28]

@n00blord111 who cares?

[plank2405]

@n00blord111 stupidty is unimaginable....

[stargirl247ful]

@peaceOnEarth28 Im not a fan of pop, but i am a fan of art, and i believe that it's whatever you believe it is. So if someone's art is Kesha, and Lady gaga then no one has a right to judge that. Just be grateful that you understand true art. ;)

[Wakk94]

@peaceOnEarth28 Alright I'll give it to you that this is quality music, but I think that any of the pop stars you mentioned are still artists. You may not enjoy them but their music may not feel like it has a lot of substance to it but it still means something to many many people and it maybe the only way people get into having fun and opening themselves up to the world. I think that still qualifies what they do as art.

[peaceOnEarth28]

@Wakk94 as long as you didn't dislike this song/video I respect your opinion dude. peace

[Wakk94]

@peaceOnEarth28 Thanks man and I would never dislike this, Radiohead is top notch.

[peaceOnEarth28]

@Wakk94 yea sure! I'm a girl

[Stupefyzation]

@peaceOnEarth28 Who?

[someone2121996]

the Music Video will blow your mind O_O"

poor cows! damn pigs

[MrArmySkull]

@someone2121996 ugh... u didn´t understand the song... like the bunch of losers here...

[someone2121996]

@MrArmySkull You Sir Are WRONG *BUZZER*

I DID understand the SONG. i was fucking talking about the Music video

not about the song's lyrics! YOU DO NOT PAY ATTENTION! *BUZZER*

[yearspew]

Great song!

[peaceOnEarth28]

2+2=5 okay?

[bb1982nl]

@peaceOnEarth28 its something from the book 1984 from george orwell ;)

[thewriter1008]

@peaceOnEarth28 Read George Orwell's 1984. You'll get it.

[MrArmySkull]

@thewriter1008 that guy can eat my shit everyday when he get angry to say real BULLSHIT!!!

[thewriter1008]

@MrArmySkull OK? 

[butcheR1834]

dispite i don't like mistakes in maths, i love this song.

[shane71998]

@butcheR1834 Despite the fact that I don't like mistakes in spelling and grammar, i like your comment.

PS The title doesn't literally have to do with a mistake in math, you have brain trouble.

[superclaydude]

@butcheR1834 The song has nothing to do with math. It's about a government (Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, contemporary China) brainwashing its people with lies about what is real and what is not. When truth is so corrupted when even the most basic fact (the math equation 2+2) is twisted beyond recognition. Apart from the political connotations of "2+2=5", it's also a similar philosophical concept.

[tacoman2244]

@superclaydude Or it could be that theres 2 groups of beats, one has two beats but the other has 3. If you take the two groups (2 + 2) and add them together it would be a group of 5. Thats why it stands for 2 + 2 = 5.

Maybe both, but thats what I used to think when I were a young las.

[chrlee13579]

@tacoman2244 But that doesn't make any sense. This song is in 7/8

The beginning is, at least..

[tosamed1]

Best Radiohead song by a mile

[myveryowntaste]

Look up the word unique and find Radiohead there.

Go ahead, I dare ya ;P

[KGiLi24]

Why can't i dowload this song on limewire? does it have another name? its so awesome!

[PeterOnoLennon]

@KGiLi24

It's kinda hard to find on Limewire.

I was having the same trouble.

You should try BeeMP3, I think that's where I got it.

[KGiLi24]

@PeterOnoLennon Thanks :)

[michaelb3197]

@KGiLi24 Why not just buy it so that you can support the band, if everyone downloaded radiohead ileagaly they would be droped from their label, so as a fan you should know what to do for a great band.

[KGiLi24]

@michaelb3197 Yeah, you are right. I think i will :]

[xxTraditionalsxx]

i love this song! tanks! im subscribing!
