@OlderWaiter Oh yeah, I'm making money hand over fist averaging 20K viewers a year. on a song that's 15 years old. You should see my mansion!
Back in reality, when you put videos on Youtube that use copyrighted music, the copyright holder (the label) has the option to either remove the video entirely, or keep the video but add advertisements (before the video and/or as an overlay) as well as an iTunes link. It was done without my consent, and I haven't made a dime off it. Check your facts, guy.
Strange that the song is attacking positive traits like balance, moderation and minimalism? There's a difference being free and being reckless. Sure, I can go out and get drunk with my buddies every weekend, but what good will it do me? Seems this stupid short promotes hedonism and insanity.
Had to start a new one cus' it was gonn'a be to long. Anyway, you people land everywhere and get so far off when it's pretty clear that that isn't really anything like Thom Yorke would be doing. Anybody who gets them or follows them closely knows there is something up there, it's not clear though. Case and point, ever checked out all the shot they hide in there work?
Hahaha, half of you are on crack. I find it funny to read how you people try to dissect Radiohead songs and shit when it is pretty clear to anyone who gets the band or follows them closely to see how abstract you people make the song to here what you think it means or you wanna hear!
Loved this video <3 This is the best one of Fitter Happier fan videos I've seen :))) Corresponds well with the whole mood and meaning of the song, in my oppinion :)
To me, this song is about anxiety disorder, which i have, all the suggestions for anxiety are to do exercise and not fear things and try to think back when you were happy and know it's gonna pass.
@chad428 I agree. I have GAD too and that's what they say to do, aside from taking medication from it. but in the song it's heavily implied that the guy is now on pills ("a pig in a cage on antibiotics") - i.e., antibodies made for the anxiety cells within.
So... a song with creepy, ambient electronic noises in the background with a piano played by Thom Yorke while drunk whilst a computerized voice spews random, vaguely authoritarian memos.
It bothers me when people feel the need to whine about modern living and paint it as some kind of horrific dystopia. We have incredible freedoms; we can be and do as we wish. We have plentiful food and drink, we can walk outside and feel safe, we can devote our time to the interests of our choosing.
Modern life is quite brilliant. Gratitude is a virtue.
@curriedmussels Modern life is quite brilliant... for some. Only the most privileged have these "incredible freedoms" you claim for the whole. Many people are trapped, isolated, under-appreciated, and disenfranchised. Thousands die everyday due to poverty, violence and war; industrialized society consumes massive amounts of energy at the expense of the environment; the governments screen and control practically everything we do. Awareness is not the same as ingratitude.
because they used the beat later. They use their old ideas on it and expand on it. That is why this band is awesome. They never "go back" in music, "they always try something new"-usually expanding on their old sound, which is amazing concept. And it works great, because these guys actually know what they are doing.
With "musicians" like Kesha around, the next generation is doomed to a life of horrible "music". I now know what it truly feels like to give up on man.
this is really creepy... it's the kind of thing you can imagine being broadcast into people's brains in their sleep, making them all conform... taking all the individuality and emotion away from the population, people being engineered to be 'perfect'... real heavy 1984 kind of stuff... makes it really unsettling
Yes it does. The Giver is based on a utopian universe which in the end turns out to be a dystopia, which is the same concept of this song. The song can be more related to George Orwell's "1984" though, I suggest your read it if you like this song.
Yes. Corrupt politicians exist. No, they aren't all like that. Yes, they are all idealistic and can't possibly have EVERYONE'S best interest in mind.
No, they don't meet under the white house on saturday afternoons and have blood orgies.
God, right-wing conspiracy theorists annoy me so much.
They make random connections and are trying to constantly fix things that aren't there when they should be criticizing the social structure that's right in front of their eyes- in reality.
this is not dumb, it is representing the world we live in now where we cannot do what we want to and we can't choose only what the goverment wants and what they think is freedom. how modern society is corupt and how difficult it is to make a living without anyone going in your way telling you how to live it...
@KFCU2009 it represented the 90's way of life, and i intend to follow it to the word as it was the best time ever for me, before the insanity of poetic writing took over my body and mind leaving a gagged soul in an emptied shell of hatred .
The scariest song I ever heard. It is so diluted of anything human, so perfected, a depiction of a true Utopian society, that is, one completely controlled by a given set of obligations and laws in order to be a model citizen as such is the only way that can be attained unless those in power trust the people to do it for themselves.
that's not a great life. that's a life based on complete control. no freedom, no happiness, always conforming to society's standards of what it means to be normal.
well your interpretation is partially correct i say
but things like: "eating well" or "not flushing spiders down" is not necessarily part of society standard but more like a good modern life (no irony)...but then the conclusion destroys it all.." a pig in a cage on antibiotics"..thats when all becomes artificial and not natural..so ye youre right..a life without control
This whole song basically explains what life is like to live in the UK now.
It's like a guy who's praising himself for distancing himself from his emotions. but at the same time he has become a flawed machine. A lonely, trapped robot.
You're pretty much exactly right. It essentially points out the fact that everyone, probably not just in the UK, but in this world, is tied down, unable to properly express themselves, due to what society deems a "normal, if not idealistic, lifestyle". But it's not ideal. We strive for something that we don't even really want. Wow, too much spare time making philosophies...
But what's interesting is that the guy in the song maybe experienced abnormal behavior, such as fear of the dark and crying in public. So maybe it's his lifestyle that his tying him down in the first place and he thinks he just needs to be more pragmatic to get over it, but it's just making it worse until he becomes almost emotionless.
Agreed. Philosophy is the best. =P As is Psychology.
And yeah, true. Also, if you analyse the technical aspects of the song, it reveals a lot, too. Like, for instance, the way that it's a computerized voice and the way everything's said, makes the whole thing sound as though it's a set of rules that one must follow in uniform with everyone else. Who really wants anyone else to be different in society?
This is where your idea comes in. From this, your mind seems to derive a third person, almost perfectly described by these rules. Someone who tries to work with the system, but ultimately can't do it, due to his want to escape from everything, either by suicide, insanity or isolation. Hey, it's a wild idea but that's my interpretation. Isn't philosophy wonderful? xD
The modern human is controlled by the standards of society.I go to school 5 days a week. My personality is split up into varying personas depending on the setting. At school I am calm and obedient. Outside of the focused school environment I am uninhibited and liberated. But in the back of my mind I continue to possess the harsh responsibilities and social barriers that inhibit me and compel me to act in a certain way.
Love the "Pig in a cage on antibiotics" line. I think it basically sums up the sort of life you'd be living following these tenants. Sadly, seems like the direction the modern world's heading in.
sorry... i typed that comment just to hear the "audio preview" --sounds a little like Radiohead, but I bet Stephen Hawking could do a better job than youtube's audio preview

Fitter. Happier. More productive. Comfortable. Not drinking too much. Regular exercise at the gym 3 days a week. Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries. At ease. Eating well. No more microwave dinners and saturated fats.
The lyrics aren't random. These were all of the supposedly positive mantras of the 1990's put in a very artistic and thought provoking context. So genius!
I think it's about what's expected of people, from today's society and from the people on top (corporate people, the government, 'pigs'), and the pressure that's put on people to be that way. This song is coming from a disturbed person, which is why a lot of people (like myself) love it. I can connect with Radiohead better than any other band.
this is the most beautiful song, sociologically this is coming from a "gutter punk, buddhist,anarchist,stoner" but...this is such a wonderful example of the crippling effect america and its corporate ....corporations! Best lyrics EVER!!!!!!!!!!

It's not Stephen Hawkins and its not meant to be him. It's Thom Yorke on his Mac.

this video is about a perfect person.
The monotone voice represents, I beleive, the how boring and plain their life is.
This video makes me cry, the song scares the crap out of me, yet I feel like I need to listen to it all the time.

this is a scary song w/ the most random lyrics "a pig in a cage w/ antibiotics" wtf lol its a cool song though
bassist789 3 years ago
The lyrics aren't random. These were all of the supposedly positive mantras of the 1990's put in a very artistic and thought provoking context. So genius!

whats this song about?
supermanJOEL2 3 years ago
I think it's about what's expected of people, from today's society and from the people on top (corporate people, the government, 'pigs'), and the pressure that's put on people to be that way. This song is coming from a disturbed person, which is why a lot of people (like myself) love it. I can connect with Radiohead better than any other band.

this is the most beautiful song, sociologically this is coming from a "gutter punk, buddhist,anarchist,stoner" but...this is such a wonderful example of the crippling effect america and its corporate ....corporations! Best lyrics EVER!!!!!!!!!!
