Lyric discussion by hufnagle11 

This appears to just be a general reflection on the overwhelming magnitude of trying to survive life on a daily basis by someone who's clearly battling some sort of demon. Yorke is describing trying to cope with life through an escapist mentalitity since this is easy. Could be referring to drugs, sex, or any other type of "relief" that humans tend to gravitate towards in order to numb. That's just my take on it.
