Lyric discussion by jujitsumetaphor 

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.

sounds exactly like an explanation of the meaning of vanilla sky... which i find to be incredibly interesting how much kid a had an impact onn that movie, theyd listen to it literally before every scene to get into character... and ill venture a guess that the line ill see you in another life when we are both cats came from the closing track..
