(I think it's devastatingly sad once you put it in that context). No Surprises is about giving up on the struggle for something greater. Fitter Happier lists the ways we try and improve our lives and reveals the emptiness behind it. Let down - 'one day, I am gonna grow wings' pretty much sums it up. Subterranean Homesick Alien describes a life gone stale, and the narrator longs for aliens to show him something greater. Airbag finds it in that moment of exhilaration after a car crash. So many songs are about looking for something beyond the mundanity of day to day life. If OP is asking for the meaning behind the album itself, I think that one of the strongest themes that runs through the album is the search for transcendence if you will. It's from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy I believe. Take my interpretations (which are mixed with other people's) with a grain of salt next to your own. Some of the songs are a little more out there lyrically like Climbing Up the Walls and Lucky, and others are kinda simple like the Tourist which is literally about stupid people rushing around instead of stopping to smell the roses. Electioneering is straight up about political malice. Fitter Happier is 'about' suppressing existential dread with basic routines for a 'happy' life. Karma Police is 'about' the vindictive and vigilante desires of some people being unfortunately realized with modern technology that eliminates privacy. Most songs detail something that could be enabled/further pronounced with technology, hence OK Computer. Regardless, I think OK Computer can be interpreted simply as being a warning against what could soon be 21st century life. You can learn about other facets to a song you may have never even noticed. Once you think you have your understanding of a song, then you can go and read what other people think about it to broaden your horizons a bit, so to speak. What a song means to you is far more important than what a song means to someone else. Think about how the song relates to your own life and read the lyrics without commentary from other people. I think there are some explicit themes in some Radiohead songs, especially on OKC, but that isn't necessarily even what a song 'means' in my opinion.Ī song can have 'meaning' in many ways but the most important one is how a song touches you. If you think a song is about one thing but some guy on Genius lyrics says it's another, neither of you are wrong. There is not any one way to interpret an album. Well there's a problem with your line of thinking.
