Beneath a hum and myriad of drum beats is a song about unrequited love. Composed in a way that mirrors a one-sided relationship, the song hit its peak as the chorus drops in, Yorke belting the words, “I’m in the middle of your picture, lying in the reeds.”
Listeners find themselves where Yorke is, caught between a new life and an old one, while wrestling with a love of the same conditions.
