A song about the futility of life, the pointlessness of existence and the certainty of death.
The song is a fitting end to a quite depressing album in which Yorke ends with a glimmer of hope with a suggestion for how to deal with it all. Although the song adds to the pointlessness and hopelessness...
Street Spirit (Fade Out) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
[Chorus]
And fade out again
And fade out
[Verse 2]
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
[Chorus]
And fade out again
And fade out again
[Bridge]
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
[Verse 3]
Cracked eggs, dead birds, scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
[Chorus]
And fade out again
And fade out again
[Outro]
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Ah-na-na, ah-na-na
Immerse your soul in love (Ah-na-na, ah-na-na)
(Ah-na-na, ah-na-na)
Immerse your soul in love (Ah-na-na, ah-na-na)
