{ interpretation of Let Down, by Radiohead. off the album OK Computer }

*

transport: motorways and tramlines.
starting off then stopping, taking off and landing...

the emptiest of feelings: disappointed

people, clinging onto bottles. and when it comes it's so-so
...disappointing

(let down, and hangin' around. crushed like a bug in the ground)
SHELL SMASHED: juices flowing, wings twitch (legs are 'going')

"don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel..."



but...

one day, I AM GONNA GROW WINGS (a chemical reaction)
hysterical and useless, hysterical and...

(let down and hangin' around, crushed... [etc.])

"let down again, let down again..."

you know...? you know where you are. with floors collapsing
(floating, bouncing back and one day...)

I am gonna grow wings (I promise)
a chemical reaction

hysterical and useless, hysterical and let down...
