5. Let Down

Let Down
Radiohead
OK Computer

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes its so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Dont get sentimental
It always ends up drivel

One day Im going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again
Let down again

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day.
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

My computer said : Let's Listen to some Radiohead !

I said : OK Computer :)

[LostFanaticBenLinus]

This song is Radiohead's masterpiece, IMO.

Making a Radiohead playlist for work....I'm up to 47 tracks now. Should def help pass the time. Either my productivity will go through the roof, jamming out to the sweet sounds of Thom Yorke, or I'll be sitting in my cube with a massive music boner and my mouth slack jawed, jamming out to the sweet sounds of Thom Yorke........I'll keep you posted

And just imagine the emotion that would be felt if this song were to be played at you're funeral...

[2001lateralus]

Wow, i wish there were words to describe this masterpiece, but i don't need words when i can feel this track on so many levels.

[plzhealme]

I couldn't even... This song.. I mean... Okay. Wow.

[PopIsDead1990]

This song is the most beautiful piece of music since the baroque period

Funny how everyone speculates about the meaning of this song.

In an interview, Thom said that basically he was at a pub, drinking and noticing how all these poor, bummed out people were clinging onto their bottles and glasses. He said he imagined the floor just disappearing and the bottles everyone was holding onto were attached to the ceiling by strings, everyone would be just dangling there, let down and hanging onto their life ( and sanity ) by the thin thread attached to their drink.

I swear this band was given magical powers from god. I haven't heard a band since i started listening to radiohead that can move me so much with their music. They are truly one of a kind.

@MrRoyalnash it's not that simple, imo.

For example: "Coming up" by Suede is heavily influenced by "The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust" by David Bowie and i think "Coming Up" is slightly better.
