Even Kid A is guitar-laden. They're not anti-guitar. They simply don't like repeating themselves, and that's, primarily, exactly why they're such an amazing band.

He looks out to the audience because someone is talking and laughing and he stares at that person until they notice, thats why the intro to the song is longer than normal

@dontwannabeananimal yes yes !!! lovely

[dontwannabeananimal]

@dontwannabeananimal lol the line breaks are accidental i didn't mean to present that as poetry haha

[dontwannabeananimal]

to me this song is about how the really hard questions like "what should i do" don't seem to yield to rational inquiry. the deeper you go with analysis, the less you get

sometimes? existential angst? he doesn't know what he should be doing

so he's just playing a part?

to some it might be depressing, but it seems like he's putting

something that's really deep inside of him out there, and I think

that's beautiful.

[clitorides]

One of the most beautiful things my ears have ever heard.

[progressivesou1]

Emotinally Powerful!

[nonochaudiere]

love youuuuuuuuuuuuu

[subzeromind]

And the feigned smile at the end, he's like "look i'm capable of smiling you judgemental pricks"

[kuladick]

Pretty zoned out now dude, lol Some things just shouldn't be cheered for! WOW! Xx

The song seems to follow a pattern of Thom's. He's singing about the idea that there's no higher meaning to life.

I find this pretty interesting (if I'm even right), Thom sings "you're just playing a part, but there's no time to analyse". It seems to me that maybe he's supposed to be softening the blow of this revelation by pretending we're just playing a part in something greater...there's just not time to analyse our role or the great machine.

Am I Close?
