Radiohead – How to Disappear Completely
“That song is about the whole period of time that OK Computer was happening. We did the Glastonbury Festival and this thing in Ireland. Something snapped in me. I just said, ‘That’s it. I can’t take it anymore.’ And more than a year later, we were still on the road. I hadn’t had time to address things. The lyrics came from something Michael Stipe said to me. I rang him and said, ‘I cannot cope with this.’ And he said, “Pull the shutters down and keep saying, ‘I’m not here, this is not happening’.”
– Thom Yorke
Because of course Thom Yorke calls Michael Stipe when he is overwhelmed.
