| i really believe that majority of radiohead lyrics contain multiple meanings. This is one of my favs and i also believe it to be about unconditional love and that the person in love is very hurt, however the lines "so pay me money and take a shot" throw me off a little. i dont know how to interprete it. I then believe the song to be about how media portrays and 'moulds' people. How it manipulates and kills. | |

| I think this is about a guy who has been with a girl that made him really emotional about things. (You have turned me into this). But later on, she leaves him and he wishes he wasn't so emotional, especially about her (I wish that I was bulletproof). | |

| Its sad many people do not put much attention to those kind of songs, they find the melody boring...and the lyrics would suck...how can they dare...Well, for me, I agree with I none_of_the_above. | |

| this song kinda feels like undlying love. somewhere where the person is giving all that he can for his love and well the love goes unreturned and that hurts and wishing if there was some way it willnever hurt again | |

| Time to comment on MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL time I have two, duel meanings. 1) This came to me back in '95, when I was youngin, and I really like this theory. Ever had a childhood whimsy? We all have. Like I'm going to be this or do that and its just so pure and reflects your character at a really young age. What I thought was an adult, looking back on life and wants to recapture his childhood naive fantasy of becoming bulletproof. If I were to direct this music video, I would have two kids kissing on a dock at a starry night during the chorus: 'proooooooooooof'. 2) Came a few weeks later. A man being torn and hurt in a destructive relationship, and how he is resorting to have the most superificial kind of protection - physical, away from the pain that he has been caused. Hiding in a dark room, huddled up, bulletproof and completely invulnerable. What a beautiful song. My absolute favorite. | |

| It's also about just trying to cope with your own emotions, and not be affected by them, and failing. | |

| At the end when there's the repeat of 'bulletproof' theres something in the background.. sounds like "still in love" so, it is about love? ^^ | |
