Radiohead - How To Disappear Completely Lyrics

Cool video! Radiohead takes me back but still such timeless music. Are you on BitChute?

Instructions unclear, i shoved a bottle of lotion up my ass

Last year I went through an abusive relationship that destroyed my head, whenever bad memories come I listen to this music because it helps me in many ways, I hope no one goes through it, it hurts a lot, I hope this year be better

am i only one who came here bc of playlists secret?:Dd

I hope everyone is okay.

It's one of those fights again, isn't it?

Patricia Clark cmon man be original and STOP STEALING COMMENTS

@RHCP Dragon What did I steal you moron?!!!

Hey guys-I know this comment section ain't the most vocal-but you are here no matter how bad you feel-and I am too! So please stay here because when you're dead you don't get to listen to music like this <3

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here
Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

absolutely completely numb

5:00-5:30 is amazing

5:00 is crazy

last time listening this song ..last minutes on earth...ı think ı find a way to disappear... ı should disappear !

Please stay with us, life still has so much beauty and joy to offer

Masterpiece

All the radiohead videos: High Resolution
This: No, I dont think I will

love coming to this comment section and just knowing i'm not alone in feeling these....what do you even call them..

"Your own death is something that happens to everyone else. Your life is not your own, keep your hands off it." - Sherlock Holmes

This is a song you cant listen 2 it just once. It makes you put it on repeat. It haunts you yet comforts you. Such a masterpiece. I am so in love with this song.

"Remastered" "High resolution" Sure buddy.

La canción perfecta, para todos los que queremos desaparecer por completo...

Only someone who has experienced childhood trauma could write lyrics like these.

It's the official unofficial video.

If somebody is on the edge to jump or not from a bridge - he shouldn't listen to Radiohead .

That I'm not sure. Radiohead has helped me so much... maybe it depends on the person though

This song saved marilyn manson when he was about to jump apparently

I remember playing this on repeat & using my speaker as a pillow.... Fuckin bliss..

Where my S.T.A.L.K.E.R bois at

Trigger warning for folks with a mood disorder, please. This song can put me into a funk for days on end..peace

The first song on Kid A paints the Manhattan skyline at 8:00 A.M. on Tuesday morning; the song is titled "Everything in Its Right Place." People woke up that day "sucking on a lemon," because that's what life normally feels like on the Manhattan subway; the city is a beautiful, sour, sarcastic place. We soon move onto song two, which is the title track. It is the sound of woozy, ephemeral normalcy. It is the sound of Jonny Greenwood playing an Ondes Martenot, an instrument best remembered for its use in the Star Trek theme song. You can imagine humans walking to work, riding elevators, getting off the C train and the 3 train, and thinking about a future that will be a lot like the present, only better. The term KID A is Yorke's moniker for the first cloned human, which he (only half jokingly) suspects may already exist. The consciously misguided message is this: Science is the answer. Technology solves everything, because technology is invulnerable. And this is what almost everyone in America thought around 8:30 A.M. But something happens three and a half minutes into "Kid A". It suddenly doesn't feel right, and you don't exactly know why. This is followed by track three, "The National Anthem"

This is when the first plane slams into the north tower at 470 mph.

"The National Anthem" sounds a bit like a Morphine song. It's a completley different direction from the first two songs on KID A, and it's confusing; it's chaotic. "What's going on?," the lyrics ask. "What's going on?" It gets crazier and crazier, until the second plane hits the second tower (at 9:03 A.M. in reality and at 3:42 in the song). For a moment, things are somber. But then it gets more anarchic. Which leads into track four, "How to Disappear Completely." This is the point where it feels like the world is possibly ending. People try to convince themselves that they are not there. People keep repeating: "This isn't happening". People are "floating" (read: falling) to the earth. We are told of strobe lights and blown speakers; there are fireworks and hurricanes. This is a song about being burned alive and jumping out of windows, and this is a song about having to watch those things happen. And it's followed by an instrumental piece without melody ("Treefingers"), because what can you say when skyscrapers collapse? All you can do is stare at them with your hand over your mouth.

Time passes. It's afternoon. KID A's side two, if you have it on vinyl. Action is replaced by thought. The song is "Optimistic, " a word that becomes more meaningful in its absence. It has lyrics about Ground Zero ("vultures circle the dead"), and it offers a glimpse into how Al Qaeda members think Americans perceive international diplomacy ("the big fish eat the little ones, the big fish eat the little ones/Not my problem, give me some"). Track seven, "In Limbo" is about how the United States has been shaken out of its fantasy, with "nowhere to hide," finding only "trap doors that open, I spiral down"......

THat kind of feeling where I want to vanish yet I have no Freedom to do so. Im Just tired. It's been 9 years since I kept this SAdness inside me. And now??? I cant describe how do I feel. I feel like Im a living DEAD. Im Physically Alive but Emotionally dead. Im like an empty shell and Im kinda Scared 'coz I lose interest in everything. Im still keep going 'coz I know I have no Choice but to keep living even though i dont have the energy to do so. Im CONFUSE.

Somehow, this song comforted me..

Here am I once again. I love Radiohead but I wouldn't want myself to dwell again in this phase of my life where I needed to be comforted by this song. I thought my life would already be ok since I'm recovering and the stars will align for me but its the complete opposite. It's just 21 days in 2020 and I don't know what will happen for tomorrow, for the whole decade and for the rest of my life.

One night back in September I was feeling pretty depressed and i started driving towards the tallest building in town. Planned to jump off. Had some music playing for some reason and this song came on. I don't know if it was the song or if it was something else, but suddenly I started to feel different. I didn't feel like dying anymore. I pulled over to the side of the road and just sat at my wheel crying for what must've been an hour. Drove home and started living life again. The first couple months after that were rough but it's been getting good again these past few weeks. I don't know who's reading this, where you are in your life right now, but I want you to know it gets better than what you've got now. Hold on, just hold on. Never be ashamed to seek help when you need it. Cry if you need to cry. Keep in touch with the people you love and never forget how much they mean to you. How much you mean to them. I don't know who you are but I never want you to make the mistake I almost made. There are things in this world that make the pain worth it.

Edit: christ that's a bit cheesy isn't it. But yeah idk man if you feel like you need to vent to some random person for whatever reason my gmail is intelligenttraffic1. I try to check it regularly.

Edit 2: Been about half a year now unless my math is wrong. God that's weird to think about. I sat outside that building the other day thinking about how fucking close I came that night. I just can't believe I was ever that down. Can't understand why I was so scared to get help. It doesn't feel like my memory any more. And I'm starting to view this song in a different light after hearing it while staring up at the building. When that first line came on I felt, just for a second, like I was watching myself contemplating suicide that night. Like I was pointing at my own past and saying "that's not me. That didn't happen". This song used to make me think about how trapped I felt. How crushed I felt by work, by school, by my parents.... now I see it differently. Makes me feel free. Makes me feel like I'm looking back at how trapped I used to be, wondering how I ever lived like that.

I hope someone is actually typing in "How to disappear completely" and then they find and discover radiohead and music and it saves them

If ignorance is bliss, what is this?

This song hits most in a loveless house

"Significance is in the eye of the defenseless."

"Peoples assholes are like their mouths. Always spewing out shit their ears and minds forget."
'Azazel'
"Eat your hearts out because you cannot stomach me."
'Azazel' about ,dan'

radiohead is either garbage or trash.

You are garbage or trash dipshit

I want to die

I know that look in your eyes. It's in my eyes too...

Έξοδος κινδύνου

This video reminds me of my high school days in Australia. The cane was legal and bullying from teachers was rampant. It really affected me. I live in Canada now, but I will always maintain that Australia, despite it's 1st world status, is culturally backward and a shitty place to live.

I love this song! Check out this one too, sad and beautiful! lnkfi.re/V1i1dcMx

oh hell yeah thanks depressed reddit

Like when your younger watching yourself cry in a mirror.....

This song doesn't help me at all, but I'm somehow reminded that I shouldn't end it now. Maybe my life will change like the end of the song. Messy and loud, and then suddenly it will all be clear again. I don't know, maybe I'll be here again tomorrow if I make it that long. I love you all....

Yorke once mentioned this one as his personal favourite song written for Radiohead.

listening to this song for the first time and i think every nerve in my body just shrivelled and died. So much pain.

(According to google)

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please

I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Depersonalization and derealization in song form

The amount of suffering in the world is unthinkable. Just reading through the comments here alone.....wow.

Imagining being a bodiless soul just casually observing the past, present and future at the same time, as if they were snowglobes on a table...is more peaceful.

Basically I am high as fuck and this is way too heavy. But I can't stop listening

I think that having listening Radiohead since age 9 has contributed to me having been diagnosed Bipolar at age 25. :/

Still wondering how

i’m because of the book “playlist for the dead”

When I listen to this song I dream of my wife of 12 yrs who has MS Secondary Progressive, she lost every ability to function and just her eyes move, I never thought I'd be the person to see her slowly fade away.....life is short let's all just be happy...😥

Sup doomers

such a calm guitar rhythm yet a haunting string noise in the background , this song depresses me sm yet comforts me at the same time

I came depressed and left depressed but with a better understanding

2020 anyone??

Yep,im here,but only just at times..........

My soulmate died

There's happiness in the darkness, too 🌘

Playlist of the dead?

I shouldn't even be here/

It’s New Year’s Eve and... what’s the point of going on to a new year? A new decade? It’s going to be just as bad as the last. Full of disappointments. In my opinion, New Years is false hope. You say you’ll be better. You never are.

who listens to this as the year 2019 comes to and end?

Listening to this on New Year's eve sitting alone. 2019 was very painful for me and this song really helped me at various points to accept the situation and move on.I hope new year will be better for me and everyone who was disappointed with this year.

@Relja Thanks man
Yeah this year is going fine so far, i am busy in my work so i don't feel lonely at all. I hope you'll have a nice year too.

@Aakarsh Mayank one day at a time, better and better as we keep moving towards spring <3

Australia lights out on a billion animal life forms . Bang up new year !

@Anthony Rodriguez Man what a sad situation really. It seems like the whole world is in some kind of turmoil this year Protests,Environmental disasters,geopolitical tensions and what not.

@Anthony Rodriguez yeah, the decline is all around us and there are no more signs, shit is going down and far as I can see, it is bit stopping. So what we can do is help in whatever way we can, pay for someone's groceries, kind words to strangers, help out in your community and such. Just because we think everything is dying, doesn't make it so <3

Here for anybody that needs a friend.

How many really understand the strobe lights and blown speakers bit, I wonder?

This time of year really sucks for me. Idk if I’m just soft or selfish idk man. I need change. Friends and meth helps a little bit but in the end I’m stuck in the same place

Smoke green not meth. The only way

i want to die to this song

Nightflyers brought me here. Cant belive iv never heard this before today

so its christmas and im alone again why did i come listen to this song

I'm very depressed whit this :")

I first heard this song a decade ago, and yet to this day theres times i need to come listen to it again <3 thank you Radiohead, so much, for your music. It helps me get by.

The chord change at 4:54 and 5:20......... Is that what a shot of heroin feels like?

It's what deep derealization dissociative disorder feels like.

We never saw each other again. From the first moment he told me wonders of another planet and confessed that he came from there. People made fun of me when I answered that it belonged to other stars, when it was true, literally speaking. We never saw each other again because everything here was small. Everything was insufficient. Including me.
I got used to that, however. It hurt to know that I would never be enough, but it still comforted me to have him near me and perhaps that was the definition of masochism.
I liked all his aura of mystery, he captivated me, he had me under his feet. I could have pursued him a lifetime, if he had allowed me to. I was like a magnet and he was like a metal that I didn't know it existed until I had it in front of me. I just couldn't let it go.
But still, he escaped every day. He passed by and never looked in my direction. I was stuck in a one-sided look and in a fascination, also one-sided.
People asked me to espabile, they whispered phrases that intended to get me out of my reverie. And all those words may have had some reason, but I just didn't give my arm - not my heart - to twist.
We never saw each other again, as I mentioned before, because one day he decided that there was nothing good enough for him, not even that love I had to offer him generously. He said that I was nothing for him, neither my spirit, neither my ambition, neither my whole being. He said that if he had to choose between a stone and me, he would keep the stone because it would fit in his pocket and it could be useful, maybe sometime.
I did not see him again, because for a while he wandered with his eyes lost in the sky. I wasn't surprised either because I already sensed it. That look set in other galaxies was a premonition of the sadness that would come to find me without truce at the time of his departure.
I always loved you, with all your indifference and your little common sense. I always loved you, with each of your millions of defects that you weren’t able to see due to the pride that consumed you. I always admired you and set myself on fire for you.
I don't blame you for not choosing me, don't get me wrong, I blame you for not seeing beyond your nose. Because I understand that you had a presence and a depth too rich for this planet full of misery and mediocrity, but what I will never understand is that you could not find only one, just one little thing for which you have liked to live here.
Neither the bluest ocean, nor the coldest winter, nor the reddest rose, nor the most beautiful laugh, nor the loudest thunder could have captivated you. And now I get it.
What is the point of having fallen in love with someone so giant but so coward at the same time! What is the point of having fallen in love with someone like you, someone from another planet, when you would be all, as you boasted to be, but at the same time you would be nothing, as you just couldn’t see. Always nothing.
Your immensity disintegrated at every step you took, because you had nothing, you didn't get anything, you didn't get involved in anything. You were one more sigh. And all your life you would be a breeze. You would never be a hurricane.
I fell in love with a boy who came from the stars and the one I ended up learning was me. Because you could only offer that: wisdom. So now the rich one was me. The winner was me.
You had absolutely nothing. Neither here nor elsewhere to light years.
Your rot would be eternal and to that you were condemned, you would be a martyr, boredom and insufficiency.


-Julieta.

Last night while listening to this I got a strange sensation, I deeply relate to the song as far as disassociation, but this was different. I started thinking of how much it would kill me if I lost my very good friend, and he didn't talk alot yesterday. I hope he's okay

I saw him dying right in front of me everyday

This did happen gulp

Listening to this song with headphones it sounds like Colin and Phil are creating the banks of a river that the rest of the music is flowing through!! And I’m not even stoned

2019? I WANT TO DISAPPEAR

Things will get better. A lot better x

My personal favorite Radiohead songs 1. How to disappear completely
2. Let down
3. All I need
4. Weird fishes
5 fake plastic trees
I’m more for Radiohead ballads as you can tell

19/12/2019 Im here ( thing)

Proposing the cross on the wall and proportional physics formula is why the character originally suffers trauma and problems wanting to cope with society are realistic means that certain state of denial and withdrawal do form in cases of schizophrenia and manic depression and yet in the end someone will beat on the camera zoom to exhibit a world of hostility hardly worth the commitment of adaptation refusing mutual participation .

I remember before snorting my second line and this song came on,
I remember the flow and the song slowly fading in and out and his voice sounding like I was underwater. next thing I know im in my friends bathtub, im laying on top of him and he’s got me curled up in a soaking wet sweater which felt like cardboard with needles impaled through it.
he was whispering my name not wanting to cause a scene from the other people outside the bathroom.
he was crying and holding me desperate for me to respond. I couldn’t respond for the longest time until I started crying.
he dragged me out of the house back to his car and took care of me a week straight without my parents ever caring to notice I was gone.
this song and the amber haze of me opening my eyes from almost dying is forever in my mind.

I've become candid to my own pain, thanks to this song. Don't know if this makes any sense

Feeling lonely since my friend took her own life.
This song acutely describes the hollow and empty feeling of grief but maybe this is how she felt the day she decided to die alone. ..I'll never know for sure.

Man I am very thankful for Radiohead ❤️ gotta get a vinyl now ❤️❤️
This reminds me of Lana’s first videos for her songs it’s comforting

Whenever I feel depressed, I go and have a good shit. The World's always a slightly better place when you've just had a good, long shit. Not even joking.

It's a form of meditation

I really needed to giggle. Thank you. I'll wipe the tears from my eyes now.

I really want to kill myself
