• Anima Mundi from South AfricaA perfectly timed cathedral uplift on the album. Like the rest of the album, there are very blatant references to the way society is progressing technologically but regressing in matters of purpose and personal fulfillment. Constantly on the go without thought or mindfulness which is counter productive to our own happiness. Once this is realized we are left lost, hysterical (rushing but we don't where to or what for) and useless (like a dog chasing his tail)and let down - wee even fail to escape through intoxication (clinging onto bottles), like being crushed like a bug in the ground. This song is a serenade to that realization and is a great example of what I love about Radiohead, the ability to make utter tragedy and despair sound so beautiful and almost elated.
• Dan from New York, NyI always thought this song was about one of those horrible break ups that leaves you near death, I mean somebody really does a number on you and so nonchalantly, much like simply crushing you like a bug, and you realize it's the end, the journey is over! But one day you rise above it all and get over it and move on, and you end up better off than the person who left you... or something like that. As depressing as heartache can be, it's about growing stronger because of it and so it's actually rather uplifting.
• Deethewriter from Saint Petersburg, Russia FederationOf the line "Crushed like a bug in the ground" (from 'Let Down') Thom offers; "I am fascinated by how insects are squashed, especially wasps - the cracking sound and the yellow gak, just like people."
• William Swan from Wichita, Ks, KsThis song is simply one of there best. It feels like its being built up. Even though its about a bug being crushed. Or it could mean alot of things.
• D-money from Vancouver, BcI think Johnny's riff at the beginning is in 5/4 time. But the drums keep a 4/4 beat during the song.
