#62: "I never really got there/ I just pretended that I had..."

#62.

The Single: Jigsaw Falling Into Place
The Artist: Radiohead

Before we get into it, let me just state my opinion for the record: Thom Yorke's lyrics mean nothing. Yorke has been on the record (repeated times) saying that he puts certain words or phrases in songs because he likes how they sound. However, because his lyrics mean nothing, that allows them to mean everything.

That being said, certain phrases in this mid-tempo rocker absolutely destroy my face. The quote mentioned above, as the same with this one:
"
Before you run away from me
Before you're lost between the notes
Before you take my mic
Just as you dance, dance, dance"

What is there to say about it?
