Well, the video was made after the song was released, and Radiohead decided to endorse it, but it wasn't made by them.
The entire album can be interpreted in different ways, of course, but it is primarily about love relationships. It is more than that, though. Most of the songs Thom Yorke writes are not about just one thing, but he did mention in interviews that at the time when he wrote these songs he was trying to get away from writing about politics and climate change. Obviously does issues are always at least in the back of his head so they come out in some of the imagery.
Trying to find out what a song means is not absolute science. I'm sure that even for the artist who writes something its meaning changes with time. A particular song evokes different responses in us, and there is no right or wrong interpretation.
I'm afraid trying to get what the artist meant is probably impossible to do 100% accurately. But Thom said it's about obsession. There are many quotes but you'd have to google them to find them.
