Review The Song (29)Print the Lyrics
Wake... from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today.. we escape
We escape.

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before.. all hell.. breaks loose.

Breathe... keep breathing
Don't lose.. your nerve.
Breathe... keep breathing
I can't do this.. alone.

Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill
Such a CHILL.

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you
Now we are one
In everlasting peace

We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke
We hope that you choke.. that you choke

Review about Exit Music (For a Film)

To the oblivious tard below me | Reviewer: Andrew | 6/13/2008
    This song is played during the end credits to the Baz Luhrmann film in '96 (Yes, the one with DiCaprio). Radiohead was commissioned by Luhrmann to write a song for the end of the movie, and this was what they came up with. It then appeared on the 1997 album, OK Computer (They're best album in my humble opinion). "Talk Show Host" by Radiohead is also featured in the beginning of the film. It's an excellent movie. Watch it sometime. Then go play "In Rainbows" because it's fraking amazing.



    What This Is Really About | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/27/2008

    Radiohead wrote this song for one of the more recent film remakes of "Romeo and Juliet." I don't know the exact title of the film, but it's not the one with Leonardo DiCaprio. Keeping that in mind, the song is written from Romeo's perspective. The fifth and sixth stanzas are supposed to be directed towards Juliet's father.



    My opinion | Reviewer: Lily | 4/14/2008

    In my opinion, this is one of Radiohead's best songs, although they're all brilliant.
    When I heard this song, I thought of someone sitting next to their lover, who is in a coma, at a hospital, because of the line "Wake... from your sleep."
    Either way, this song is wonderful and hauntingly beautiful.



    Maybe its hooters? | Reviewer: Sean | 3/14/2008

    am not sure, but if you look deep within the lyrics and melody of this song, you will find a striking resemblance to Hooters, a fine dining establishment.
    Its possible - Chicken wings can make you choke. The alternating low and high notes almost describe in photographic detail the movement of her breasts, perhaps the swish of her but In fact, I can imagine some nut case inventing an imaginary relationship with one of these voluptuous servers, taking her hostage within her own restaurant, forcing the SWAT team to enter the building, eventually killing both of our "lovers." Or at least wounding her - maybe she's OK ... I don't know - it's too hard to say right now, with all of the broken glass, the smoke of the detonated explosive devices, and the shuffling of boots into the room.
    But I guess I can see the "Romeo and Juliet" thing too. Maybe I don't take the song as serious as everyone else here. Either way, interesting comments.

    What i take from this... | Reviewer: Candi | 2/22/2008

    Only my opinion of course! But I can see an abused mother and child escaping from a horrible father. This song really speaks to me...I'm just glad my mother never listened to this or we might not be here today! Great song...



    This song reminds me of suicide | Reviewer: Gregory Marshall | 12/30/2007

    I must admit that I am a pretty rabid Radiohead fan...and have listened to this song while experiencing different ups and downs everyone has in life. Tonight, this song queued up while running the Folding Home feature on my Playstation and it invoked an incredible sadness that made me break down and cry. My partner has been battling drug addiction for the past 6 months...and after being together for 17 years, I feel completely duped.....angry, sad and hopeless...some of which this song makes me think about. While sad, life isn't entirely a downer...and luckily...Exit Music reminds me that at some point..being self actualization or death, sadness ends.



    Well... | Reviewer: Shannon | 11/17/2007

    I'm currently blitzing my way through National Novel Writing Month this year, and I'm writing a collection of short stories about a sort of police force made up of wholly unimaginative people who guard others dreams from the practicularly nasty nightmares. I heard this song while writing that, and instantly it was about one younger officer who fell in love with a nightmare and is going to force herself into a coma so she can be with him forever. Totally not what it's about at all, but that's how I'll always think of it.



    Art is always open to interpretation | Reviewer: Sidney | 11/12/2007

    Art, and especially Music is open to the interpretation of the viewer/listnener. It's one of the key elements behind why some people stalk and sometimes kill their favorite artists. They think the song is speaking directly to them, because they can relate to the lyrics and the music is an emotional catalyst that drives it home if done right. With that said this song brings me to tears thinking of my divorce and losing custody of my daughter. But I'm prett sure Thom Yorke didn't write it for me. LOL One of the most artistic uses I've seen of this song was in an episode of the HBO show "Six Feet Under" where they played it over the closing credits faded out from the family burning their unwanted possessions in a front yard bonfire.



    runaway | Reviewer: tchaka | 10/23/2007

    Thom: "The song is written for two people who should run away before all the bad stuff starts."
