Lyrics for Everything in Its Right Place as interpreted by Vache

Everything in Its Right Place Lyrics
Kid A, Kid A, Kid A, Kid A
Everything, everything, everything, everything
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything, everything, everything
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

There are two colours in my head
There are two colours in my head
What is that you tried to say?
What was that you tried to say?
Tried to say, tried to say
Tried to say, tried to say

Everything in its right place

I could care less about the bickering over this song. I personally think Kid A is one of the best RH albums ever it really defines the way Radiohead has transformed in a way. MUCH better than amnesiac, which in itself was a good album but nowhere near as good as radiohead. This CD and esp this song are great to listen to in the car driving and not having a car in the world, windows down, good music, just out there enjoying life.

I *love* this song, it was the first song off Kid A I liked because I used to fall asleep listening to it, and I'd usually be asleep near the end of this song, because it's just so surreal. I ended up putting it on repeat.

Excellent song. Not sure what the significance of "sucking on a lemon" is, but then again, Thom Yorke can be in his right place, but he will never be in his right mind. Radiohead rocks, word...

i think this song shows the birth of kid a himself. keep in mind i'm following the whole clone idea, but i think "everything in its right place" is showing how the experiment worked and they are seeing the first human clone. "yesterday i woke up sucking a lemon" maybe be kid a talking, saying how he woke up and is alive, but life is sour to him b/c he is not a person, he is a clone.

Well to me this song has to do with dreams. You know when you wake up sometimes and you're not sure if what you dreamed was actually only a dream, and you look around to make sure "Everything" is "in it's right place"? Also, "Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon" has a metaphorical sense to it, the way your face looks after sucking on a lemon, scared, as if it was a nightmare. Finally, the line "There are two colors in my head" is probably the thing I'm most sure of. The two colors are most probably Black and White. The idea being that black represents nightmares while white represents good dreams. And these colors are "inside his head" when he dreams. This is all a longshot I guess, but you never know. Also the mood of the song is very mellow and dreamy.

My only backup for my analogy is this: The soundtrack for Vanilla Sky was chosen pretty carefully, and if you look at the lyrics to most of the songs you will find they all have something to do with plot. Therefore, using a song having to do with dreams (maybe they actually know what this song is about?) would be a good choice.

Oh well, who knows? I could be totally off...

This song, in my view, is specifically about the human condition. The two main opposing metaphors, sucking the lemon and the two colours highlight a common blight and a common desire. Its the awful bitterness of waking into a banal and impossibly complicated world contrasted with a desire for easy answers, for black and white solutions in our problems. In reality the two colours in our heads just dont fit the world around us- and that causes bitterness. Its probably one of the most powerful of all the radiohead songs for its spineshivering musical composition as much as its lyrical beauty. We all yearn for everything to be in its right place- this song is about our longing for contentment.

Since(for me), Kid A is about someone's life, I think "Everything" is the stage of conception(i.e. the sperm meeting the egg). I think the title ties in well with the theory, so, I don't know...there you go.

It's about obsessive compulsive disorder 'everything in it's right place' the obsession with everything being correctly positioned knowing where everything is. I don't think I'm right probably very wrong but Ithought it was an interesting theory lol.

im sure it says "there are multicolours in my head"..but i guess i coud be wrong as two colours would make much more sense.
babies only see black and white iv read somewhere...
its about the control that people in the western world seek.

i asked a friend of mine what his favorite song on kid a was, he replied, "hmm, not sure of the names, its the one that goes yesterday i woke up sucking on your mum" -----mayb a live version?

interestin interpretations, everyone, but no one has talked about the line that comes after "two colours in my head", "what was that you tried to say?" I have no idea what this song means, its so open to many interpretations. A+ by the way, any beefs with lyrics by Radiohead can be solved at their website, they have a listing of their lyrics, i believe

The entire album is already a classic. Our children's children will hopefully own it or atleast know about it and the genuises who created it.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever. Unless you're too shallow to enjoy it. I NEVER get sick of this song. The baground music is absolutely overwhelming. It gives me goosebumps just hearing it.
The mellowness of the music and the lyrics really helps me to relax.
This is why I believe that 'Everything in its Right Place refers to the fact that everything was meant to happen, therefore; everything IS in its right place. When I am feeling shitty, listening to this song reminds me of that and of the fact that if I trust God, everything will turn out right in the end.
The two colors represent good and bad - but even the colors in his head are in their right place.
Sucking a lemon means he woke up in a bad mood. The next lines suggest that he got in a fight with someone and he wouldn't listen since he was upset; but when he realizes that everything is in its right place, he decides to listen to what the other person tried to say to him.

with evrything is in its right place. yes. nothing but blue skies from now on. no ghosts no skeletons.
you see yesterday i wasnt hearing straight but today everything is in its right place i have learnt the art of self deduction. i take a deep breath and walk away.
from
and everything is in its right place.

i cannot be hearing straight

i must completely stone deaf square pegs into round holes anything you want to do he was a good man they said he was a gentleman they said even when life spat in his face he put
