To me, this song is about how when you become frustrated and lost in the world, you start to see the faults in others all to easily. But when you come back to your senses, and realize you aren’t perfect at all yourself, you “find” yourself again, and feel regret toward those who you wrongly felt hatred towards.
That's one way to take the meaning , but the real meaning is a warning to the far right stating that if you believe in basic biology or some scientific facts like there are only 2 genders , you'll be canceled off the internet and possibly fired from your job for being a n_az%zzzzz-^zzi , and not the good Ukrainian azoz na-z#zzz-zzis but the bad Russian ones.
Everytime I feel sad af, I just return to this song to heal or at least manage my internal suffering. Thank you Radiohead, you`ve saved my life more than once.

I feel like it's about how people judge others, by how they talk, how they look, things they do, and how in turn we then judge those who are judging, to the point we become one of "them" without even realizing it
I love Radiohead, I can feel the music rosing through my skin.. There lyrics, they always have something to tell me. It describes me, not my body but my soul. My sister says I'm a very weird 9 year old, but you know what? Music is my soul. No one takes it away.
I have always been a R&B jazz and rap lover but the very first time that I heard this song I was mesmerized by his voice and the lyrics. He’s an amazing singer. Thank you for this song after all these years I’m still listening to this song in 2024 .
I've heard this song played countless times and never knew the title of it. For years I've been singing "come up here please" instead of "Karma police." 😂
I think it's about how he used to get annoyed by really pointless things on people, like "talking in maths" or "hitler hairdo". "This is what you get when you messing with us" is said to him by those people, cause at the end "he lost himself", karma got him. Even at the end of the official video, his car is set on the fire by man he had tried to kill. But who knows, everyone can have their own meaning of the song :)

This song is about how you can do as much good as you will but won't or might not get anything in return but you shouldn't forget who you are and what you stand for even if bad people, the ones that should be arrested by Karma Police, live better lifes.
I feel like this song talks about how everybody sets a standard for themselves that they feel comfortable in. But when people try to do something more different and unique, they are weirded out and try to make their actions seem bad and evil.
Thank you for this. It's 12.45 after midnight and I need to practice this for music group in the early afternoon. I don't know this one so it will be very useful.

Psychedelia meets alienation/ontological insecurity. I suppose it's about someone who wants to get high on a particular vibe but his own sensitivities and detection of game players is giving him a hard time.
Ok.. I must be stupid. I've listened to this song for years and years and years.. Known all the lyrics correctly. But at the end, I always thought he said; "If I want anything, I'll ask myself" What he really says completely changes the dynamic of this song for me.
I did loose myself Always thought he sang "This is what you get when you mess with love" Always thought he sang "This is what you get when you mess with love"
For me this song is a about forgetting how i can sometimes get caught up in the rhetoric of people who talk in maths. But whatever it its always a joy to do on my solo carpark kareoke
Cyberpunk2077 took me here for some reason and I clicked on it on a whim. Now that you mention it I do recognize it from Invincible but I didn’t really care for it then because it just felt like just a popular insert song for a montage and didn’t really work in context.

Join the "force". By being forceful.
Radiohead always reassures me that it's okay to be weird (which I am).
Weird is nice!

As one weirdo to another maybe it is THEY who are the weird ones.
If we outnumber them then they are the weird ones

Fitter happier
More productive
Comfortable
Not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week)
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease
Eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)
A patient, better driver
A safer car (baby smiling in back seat)
Sleeping well (no bad dreams)
No paranoia
Careful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole)
Keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)
Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall)
Favours for favours
Fond but not in love
Charity standing orders
On Sundays ring road supermarket
(No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)
Car wash (also on Sundays)
No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
Nothing so childish
At a better pace
Slower and more calculated
No chance of escape
Now self-employed
Concerned (but powerless)
An empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism)
Will not cry in public
Less chance of illness
Tyres that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)
A good memory
Still cries at a good film
Still kisses with saliva
No longer empty and frantic
Like a cat
Tied to a stick
That's driven into
Frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)
Calm
Fitter, healthier and more productive
A pig
In a cage
On antibiotics

This song reminds me of 1984 (the book)
It does have some sort of correlation hasn’t it? It reminds me of the thought police but that’s just my interpretation
It's ironic because irl 1984 was an optimistic year
If im rembering correclty wasnt the book made in 1950 or in the 50s.anyway yeah i agree with the thought.
