Radiohead - Codex

a new track from the new album "The King of Limbs"
LYRICS:
Sleight of hand,
Jump off the end.
Into a clear lake,
No one around.

Just dragonflies,
Fantasised.
No one gets hurt,
done nothing wrong.

Slide your hands,
Jump off the end.
The water's clear and innocent.
The water's clear and innocent.

Dude you are wrong. Not even going to argue, this is brilliance at it's finest. Look at the difference between Pablo honey and amnesiac, you really think they have been a band for this long without evolving. As jay-z put it so well......,"Nigga's want my old shit buy my old album".

[Echo Tile]

Holy shit, grow up.

AGUNZAGUN TAYFA BEĞENSİN :D

I LOVE that Dantes quote. That's the beauty of truth, right there.

[Jay Blue]

I should also say to anyone who is interested in finding these "Waters". You could do no better than beginning your "Dante"-like journey than reading the works of Carl Jung.

"The path to paradise begins in hell." Inferno

"Wretched Mortals, open your eyes!" Leonardo Da Vinci

This song is truly a work of art. I made a music video to it and it would be amazing if some of you could check it out! /watch?v=cg9Xq13m80g

I don't want anyone to think this is spam, I just want to share my interpretation of an amazing song :)

i wanna die to this song

[Rufus William]

If anyone fancies listening to my piano cover of this then I would really appreciate it. :)

It is the completion of "The Great Work" or "Holy Grail". Man (masculine) searches for himself but must plunge into the depths of the unconscious (darkness) to find it. Painstakingly, he is purified by the fire (ignis) of the "Alchemical-Furnace" thru which the spiritual world is revealed. By "transmutation of the elements" ignis becomes aqua nostra (feminine)or "Codex De Sphaera", the fountain of youth. " In Christianity, the fabled "Waters of Life" is deeply associated with the "Holy Spirit".

What is this Water of Life or Fountain of Youth?

[Vincent Filteau]

it's yours to find, mate !

[Jay Blue]

I have heard many interpretations of this song all of which have the precision of a drunk urinating. He is referring to the fabled "Waters of Life" or "Codex De Sphaera" otherwise known as "The Fountain Of Youth". The summit of consciousness in which man reconnects with the heavenly vine. Happy swimming you weird fish!
