The single featured a simple video which consists entirely of a close-up shot of Thom Yorke's head inside a plastic bubble which slowly fills up with water until he is completely submerged. He spends 57 seconds completely submerged with his breath held before the water is released and he resumes singing. The documentary Meeting People Is Easy showed that Thom only held his breath for a fraction of the time, done by speeding up the track Thom is miming to as his face becomes totally submerged and that the footage was edited to make it look like he was under for longer. Additionally, reflected on the bubble the lyrics scroll up and lights blink on and off. Both the video and the documentary were directed by Grant Gee.

I always felt like this song was the ultimate 'Adult' lullabye. As if the child within themselves had finally given up. I thought it was about growing up. Suicide, Yes! But, not physically. But, suicide of our dreams unfulfilled...or am i wrong?
I like a specific detail that I'm sure of many people don't see. The time that Tom is under water, the yellow stripe connects his brain to his mouth... When the water is drained out, it disappears. I really like my own thoughts behind it, to me it connects very good to the lyrics. It takes my breath away so to speak. Great song.
Mighty, i think that yellow stripe is a video glitch/artifact. If u watch the other(better quality) videos, they dont have that stripe. But yea radiohead songs have really in-depth meanings.
yo si pude aguantar todo el tiempo debajo del agua! hasta solte un poco de aire por la nariz, (al mismo tiempo que Thom lo hizo) solo para hacerlo mas justo =D
