"Backdrifts" --Radiohead

[Blank]

This is probably intended to be veiled social commentary rather than a discussion of abuse issues, but I like the accidental overtones.

Backdrifts
(Honeymoon is Over.)

We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell
We got nothing more to lose
One gust & we
Will probably crumble
We're backdrifters.
This far but not further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
Oh Honeysweet
So full of sleep
I'm backsliding.
You fell into our arms
We tried
But there was nothing
We could do

All evidence has been buried.
All tapes have been erased.
But your footprints
Give you away so
You're backtracking

A funny thing happened to me. I was abroad, and kindly invited to a rock festival by a friend and relative. The closing act was Radiohead. It wasn't long before I appreciated their sound. I'm glad to know something about their lyrics. I just now thought of Linkin Park and their hard rocking techno sound, and angstful lyrics.
Take care, and thanks for the Radiohead entry.
