"It's about those situations in life where you just want the
ground to swallow you up"

Some people think it's related to suicide

I think it's about leaving all the shit in your life behind
for a little while and just letting the emotion out.

I fucking LOVE this song btw. I live by it. It's the most
achingly beautfiul, depressing, powerful radiohead song i've
ever heard.

thanks, guys. I really understand what you're saying. I will
give it another listen. btw, this and everything in it's
right place are beautifully packed with emotion. they make
me love kid a.

To me, "How to Disappear Completely" (which was originally
called "How to Disappear Completely and Never Be Found") is
about wanting to start your life over. It's about having
made one last mistake and not wanting to kill yourself, but
to go back and start all over.

Amnesiac is great, but Kid A has some strange qualities to
it. I prefer Amnesiac. Like Spinning Plates is the
most-beautiful song by Radiohead since Bulletproof (I Wish I
Was...)

Beautiful song, I listened to it last night. I'm getting
back into a Radiohead mood after a brief hiatus...

I think Kid A is better than Amnesiac, slightly... Kid A got
me into this electronic thing in the first place. But
neither of them hold a candle to the amazing OK Computer.

I agree with you there, Ophecks. I originally hated Kid A.
I didn't like it until about Spring 2001.
It was just bleah to me, I wanted something to be better
than OK Computer. Lyrically and musically, and "take the
money and run" just didn't cut it. But I think Radiohead do
write beautiful songs even post-OK Computer.
