    This is the closest thing I’ve ever seen to what a dream looks (feels?) like ; in TV or movies, dreams are usually depicted as linear, even when they’re supposed to be “weird” in the context of the story. Hope that makes sense; I love this song.

    I want you to know
    He's not coming back
    Look in to my eyes
    I'm not coming back
    So knives out
    Catch the mouse
    Don't look down
    Shove it in your mouth
    If you'd been a dog
    They would've drowned you at birth
    Look into my eyes
    It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth
    So knives out
    Cook him up
    Squash his head
    Put him in the pot
    I want you to know
    He's not coming back
    He's bloated and frozen
    Still there's no point in letting it go to waste
    So knives out
    Catch the mouse
    Squash his head
    Put him in the pot

    The "Knives Out" music video was directed by Michel Gondry. Gondry was going through a breakup at the time, and expressed his feelings in the video concept, which has Yorke grieving in a hospital room. Gondry described the collaboration as a "terrible experience", and said: "I showed [Yorke] a storyboard and every single detail: he was completely excited and happy for it - and then, it turned out, they all criticise me for being selfish and putting my own views on it and my own introspection ... It did not go smoothly, but if it went smoothly, it would be mediocre."[8]

      kind of weird for a band to be that rude about it when so much of the lyrics are abstract, symbolic and even further literally garbled and mumbled. i think a lot of us have different interpretations of their songs because listening to something like this or idiotheque is like looking at the artwork that accompanies each album, its always very abstract and so on so each person is going to have their own personal relationship with it. but Thom & Johnny Greenwood have had a reputation for being unreasonable and kind of petulant, i think its a tradition with some uk rockers, drawing from that john lennon and morrissey/marr energy i guess

      I feel like this song is just about the things people are able to put each other through and are willing to go through in relationships, like the train scene where they're beating on each other and then he gives her the ring because ultimately we want love that lasts but when they look at their past it's they both look kind of embarrassed and ashamed of the things they've said and done. Who knows who the song pertains to for Thom, and maybe I'm way off but that's how I've always heard this song, so it doesn't seem all that strange to me

    • @oizeau3654
      @oizeau3654 7 років тому +14

      +Christopher Phisher Well "“Knives Out” is not exactly cruelty. Let’s rather say that to express some feelings, I can’t help but use some violent vocabulary. “Knives Out” was inspired by several different situations. I think the important thing is not that it sounds violent but rather that I try to express specific moments that I have experienced in my life: I transcribe them again, especially those I’ve been through in the music business. It doesn’t hurt many people when someone disappears, they can always take advantage of what remains. In short, the lyrics are more violent than the feelings behind them. The song is also about the death of the people close to me. Each song tries to elucidates things that I don’t understand. “Knives Out” is especially brutal because it is a desperate attempt at solving something very complicated for me." - Thom Yorke

My favorite part is the fighting scene on the train. Most couples fight because of infidelity or lack of resources, right, no big deal. Now when you take in consideration Abraham Maslo Pyramid of Needs (pyramid song) as you watch the couples changing behavior, you'll see (hopefully in time) the line they both crossed to momentarily find happiness. To satisfy the lowest level of the pyramid, they can no longer consider other people as human beings - the animals with the human heads. Thom used recent historic references for this forecast, but if you are clever, you can find them yourself. Winter is coming.

  • @Panquernic
    @Panquernic 8 років тому +320

    If you really need some sort of explaination of this video here is my interpretation. (English as a second language so bare with me). First of all you have to know a bit of the style and themes of Michel Gondry(the director). The song's lyrics and the video's story are quite a bit separate.
    This is a continuous shot so some shots are static to give time for things out of shot to come to place.
    What happens on the TV is a memory.
    First of all we have a trip, a train and a happy couple on the train. We have photos and drawings depicting the couple. Then we se the Guy on the low bed looking worried and the camera turns to the Girl who is clearly sick (And on an Operation bed.) The doctor comes in with some bad news as Thom grabs his head.
    They operate on her, she suffers. The camera pans to the TV again, He puts her photograph in his heart (maybe when he falls in love with her, or maybe is the moment of "you will never leave my heart/I will never forget you" and is not a memory.) then they start fighting.
    Then he is in the low bed again and his feet are being cooked and he thinks they're about to eat his feet? (This is the part that seems most out of place from the "story" and seems to parallel the lyrics a bit more. Still quite dreamlike.)
    The room becomes chaos, she continues to suffer, they do all kinds of tests.
    The train now has extremities like feet, hands, etc...
    They fight in the train, he asks her to marry him and this is the moment where she falls ill. He then presses Rewind back to where they didn't fight.
    There is a shot of the diamond on the bed under a spotlight, this could have many interpretations and I think each should have its own.
    She's gone, most probably died.
    Then he's singing as a skeleton, he has no body left (nobody left?) he's singing from his heart (which has replaced his mind) and the photograph (the memory of her) floats away.
    Then Thom is the microphone, which is a mouse, this simply relates to the lyrics and again is one of those dreamlike elements that gondry loves.

    The melody and the structure of this song embrace you in some warm strange way. It's incredible. No other band could ever give you a feeling like this.

    Easily the best thing Michel Gondry has ever produced, the video matches the tone of the song perfectly and it's as creative as the music Radiohead produce

    Para mi esta canción se refiere a una persona que ha sido lastimada a más no poder , con un corazón totalmente destrozado.. y por eso dice que esa persona que un día fue.. ya no volverá más. Que puede agarrar el cuchillo y cortarla, es cuando una persona ha sufrido tanto que se vuelve piedra.. no siente más dolor, la coraza es más fuerte .. es triste .. me pasó una vez y supere mi depresión llorando todas las noches con esta canción..

    I have a rather silly theory about the meaning of this song:
    it's about a spoiled cat that his owner suddenly dוed and so no one is feeding him, so he is forced to catch mice for the first time. When his hunger increases he has no choice but to dine on the owner's body (which cats tend to do in those situations).
    It kinda makes sense if you think of the lyrics.

    But this one is my favorite.
