| this song is about a near-death experience and how technology saved the "hero's" life. OK Computer is a concept album entirely about technology dominating our lives. in this case, technology helped to prolong life, the "hero" feels reborn. | |

| I have a completely different meaning, let me explain. "In the next world war, jackknkifed juggernaut iam born again", Being reborn as new world events start, the helplessness of seeing the world war begin, the rellevence society relying on transport rushing around at a million miles an hour like its so important, noone caring when a lorry overturns as an ivevitable consequence of the failing system, a neon sign picking me up because burgers have a new improved taste and being reborn in the head in this way, forgetting immediately. Adeep deep sleep of the innocent, your out there somewhere, doing nothing as the evil destroy everything and each other, all our fear driving us to an interstellar scitzophrenic burst.... Maybe. | |

| I agree with gordo here. He's comparing his survival with all these amazing things, coming up with all these crazy analogies, because it was a life altering experience for him. | |

| I agree with the first post. Which reminds me of Fight Club, when Tyler Durden lets his car crash into a tree. "We've just had a near-life experience!". | |

| how drug-induced is radiohead?? haha i love it. i guess the secrets to the universe may very well be drugs, cuz radiohead are geniuses. anyway, i agree with people who are saying that ok computer is a technology themed album. they realized that life itself is a cycle of birth-death, and that technology is a cycle. it's killing us, we're killing the planet, but we couldnt survive without the technology. scary huh? | |
