All I can say is, I'm glad I got the special edition so I could see the video for this. Brilliant lyrics, vocals (the sreaming back drop playing off the main vocals), wonderfully pieced together instrumentally. Not the whiny emo I usually dislike. Great song...and all around album. |

Yorke said in an interview that this is basically a response to the media blitz that bothers the hell out of people, especially those involved only by family connections. He spoke of a lady who's husband was being relentlessly chased my the media for weeks. She put all of the pictures from the papers about her and her husband all over the windows of her house, so that the photographers on her lawn only could take pictures of those they already took. Thom thought that was ingenous, and that is where the "Papering the window panes" comes from. Great song, even better message. |

I also notice a few contradictions in this song as well. This, I'm sure, was done purposely, as to prove that perfection is not fool-proof and the very concept has flaws itself. Great Lyrics; Yorke does it again. |

| Radiohead – Let Down Lyrics

One of their best songs from the best album ever in recent years IMO. The vocals are great as usual, they draw you in. Instrumentals are talent filled. It has the whole package. The lyrics themselves are probably the best piece of writing Yorke has done. The metaphor of a crushed bug to the feeling of complete helplessness was very well described and though out, and the lyrics flowed from one line to the next beautifully.
The "hanging on to bottles" line was origonated from an idea that Yorke thought was hilarious. He pictured drunks sitting at a bar and the floor giving way and the only thing holding them (the drunks) up was the bottles in their mouth, which were tied to the ceiling. A bit of an odd thought, but it works well in this song. |

This is one of the standard message of unhappiness to to false comforts. The line "but GRAVITY always
wins and it wears him out." Is a great and clever description of it. Superb lyrics as always, and I agree that Thom does a great job with the lyrics here. |
