Song is about artificial societal conformity. The goal to be what the world deems is 'perfect' is a constant challenge because of aging and 'gravity' as mentioned. It speaks about a plastic surgeon who once thought looks were everything, that's where he first fell in love. The perpetual struggle to remain perfect actually causes imperfection, 'it wore him out', like it wears all of us out. Perfection is nonexistent, and we're all living in a fake plastic world trying to be something we're not.

Thom Yorke : That was not forced at all, it was just recording whatever was going on in my head, really. I mean, I wrote those words and laughed. I thought they were really funny, especially that bit about polystyrene

... But also crying when he sung it. Because it's a sad truth, and this song, past it's sarcasm faces that sad truth

[obliviouslyignorant]

don't try and put to much reason to their songs as they say themselves they are just random ideas mixed together and the idea of people taking things philosophically and putting meaning to their songs pisses them off... just enjoy the sound and keep it to yourself ok.. :)
