Is there anyone that can't relate to this song? I mean who doesn't know that one person that makes themself a victim?

But more specifically this song seems to be about a friend of his that dated an abusive loser...You try to convince the friend that this guy is trash, but she just keeps letting him back into her life...So after a while she's no longer a victim because she's enabling him.

It's also just a damn rockin' radiohead song that's surprisingly coherent (compared to their later stuff)

Thank you! Finally. This is it, no depression analogies for once.
