I think: "There There" (The Boney King of Nowhere)
God = The Boney King of Nowhere
There There = Thom Yorke's sympathy for the human race.
"In pitch dark, I go walking in you landscape"=
I trust you to guide me where I need to go.
"Broken branches trip me as I speak"=
you let me fall when I trusted you.
"Just cause it feels there, doesn't mean its there"=
god isn't there, he's just in your head.
It's possible: Thom Yorke has searched for god for a long time and could never seem to find him and now he just thinks god doesn't exist.
"There's always a siren, singing you to shipwreck"=
Something calls to you and tells you this is the right way but when you get there you crash and fall.
"don't reach out" =
don't even listen.
I think this song is done from a sympathetic and mournful point of view. The rest of the song is easy to figure out after the information I've supplied.
Draw your own conclusions, This is just my interpretation.
I hadn't quite put it in those terms, but I like your explanation a lot. Not least because I think such an amazing song must have some equally compelling inspiration- not just relationships or politics, but his understanding of life itself. Also, I love how the implications of the shift from quiet and mournful to triumphant rock'n'roll, once he's come to terms with the futility of his search for a god and such: "I'm all there is? OK, I'll have a good time as I am!"

Or at least, that's my take.
