@@jn5122 Thom Yorke has spoken a bit about “Rabbit in Your Headlights,” the song he collaborated on with UNKLE in 1998. While Yorke is usually reserved about the specific meaning of his lyrics, he has given some insight into the dark tone and underlying themes of the song. “Rabbit in Your Headlights” carries a heavy emotional weight and has been described as exploring vulnerability, isolation, and feelings of alienation in modern life. Yorke has mentioned that the lyrics reflect his interest in expressing internal struggles and personal crises, themes he was exploring intensely in the late 90s, especially around Radiohead’s OK Computer. The metaphor of a “rabbit in the headlights” is often interpreted as a symbol of feeling trapped, paralyzed, or helpless in the face of pressure or suffering. The music video, directed by Jonathan Glazer, also received commentary from both Glazer and Yorke due to its striking imagery: it shows a man walking through traffic, repeatedly struck by cars but continuing to get up and walk until he eventually rises, unharmed. Glazer and Yorke agreed that this image was a visual representation of resilience and internal struggle, resonating with the song’s lyrics. Yorke has indicated that the song’s haunting, almost disorienting tone and ethereal atmosphere were intentional, designed to provoke a deeply reflective, even unsettling reaction in listeners about the human condition.
