	its not just about unrequited love, its about a love for a woman that has left and forgotten this man in a pursuit of fame. this main still obviously has feelings, and is speaking about all the things that he had done for her when they were together, when she was not famous. how anyone would assume the entire song is about masturbation is beyond me; the line about 'playing with myself' only serves to further emphasize the loneliness felt by this man. just my two cents.

No Picture Michael Average	#2 by Michael Vanderveen at Sep 30, 2007 at 10:56 PM EST
	this song really encompasses the lonliness felt after a breakup. i love the question "should i still love you?"

No Picture ben Average	#3 by ben doherty at Oct 1, 2007 at 6:16 AM EST
	DeathRockBoy is right...Jonny Greenwood said something about how "Thinking About You" is his mum's favourite song, but he doesn't have the heart to tell her it's about wanking.

No Picture dylan Average	#4 by dylan pesino at Oct 4, 2007 at 10:13 PM EST
	The way I see this song it's about a girl after a breakup with her boyfriend who ran off with another crowd maybe after becoming famous or wealthy "all the things you got that you'll never need" she's saying she has pictures of him everwhere still "Your eyes are on the wall your teeth are over there" and she begins to think of times before he became wealthy or famous, "I bought you cigarettes, i pried (I still think the lyric is bribed) the company to come and see you honey" and she's saying that all the friends he has now are false "These people aren't your friends they're paid to kiss your feet" That's what this song is about to me, anyway, because that's what happened between me and my ex-girlfriend I came into some money and left her but when I stopped spending on them I realized she had decided that she shouldn't care when I'm not there... I still feel terrible and this song is especially beautiful to me because of that experience... Thom Yorke is a friggin genius.

No Picture Eric Average	#7 by Eric Zinkhon at Oct 6, 2007 at 2:51 AM EST
	well you would have to be retarded to think its about masterbation...just because he sings "but i'm playing with myself" dosn't me he is singing about playing with his dick...please grow up! this song has alot more meaning to it than your ideas of stupid teenage grab ass romance or masterbation. kaisute, you got it backward, its not about how the girl is alone, its about how the guy (thom) is alone while the girl he help become a star dumped him and left him for other friends. also these lyrics are WRONG! the line: "the way I cut your hair" in NOT in the song! Thom sings "But i'm just playing with myself" not "WHEN i'm playing with myself" its "Bribed"..not Pried Don't believe me? check it out for yourself! http://www.greenplastic.com

No Picture phoen Average	#8 by phoen bay at Oct 7, 2007 at 12:01 AM EST
	Well i first looked at kaisute's responce and that makes alot of sense and then i thought death was pretty dumb..... i look at the song now and it really could mean about masturbation..... When he says "your eyes are on my wall" it could be when u daydream and u think about someone and u realise ur just staring at a wall.... I also think that it is about rejection..... rejection and the thom masturbating.... He says how he bought her cigarettes and gave her everything she needed but yet she rejects him..... well thats my thought. I love the song tho.

No Picture h4c\|< Average	#9 by h4c\|< ☺ at Oct 9, 2007 at 6:40 AM EST
	ITS NOT ABOUT WANKING or what have you, its about the sweet love a male cheetah makes to a female cheetah. in this case the male heetah is thom and the female cheetah is the wall... so all in all hes humping a wall, with eyes. yes yes. im ready

No Picture hamadi Wanna Be	#12 by hamadi alameddine at Oct 14, 2007 at 4:27 AM EST
	proof that its not about a girl breaking up with her boyfriend when he becomes a star is in this simple line: "What do you care when the other men are far, far better?" ok so he left her and then went gay? READ THE LYRICS CAREFULY!

No Picture Keegan Average	#13 by Keegan at Oct 15, 2007 at 12:08 AM EST
	of course the line about playihg with himslef is about flogging hte dolphin, but the rest of it is about missing the person you know you should be with, how is that hard to get?

No Picture Average	#14 by KitCat at Oct 17, 2007 at 1:26 PM EST
	Sure, maybe they wrote it about jacking off. But I bet it was meant to be taken either way. It's up to you.
