Motion Picture Soundtrack
Radiohead退 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe
Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe





I will see you in the next life

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Radiohead's song Motion Picture Soundtrack are haunting and somber, and they reflect the struggle of a person who is trying to cope with heartbreak and loneliness through destructive behaviors. The first stanza talks about how the singer is using sleeping pills and red wine to escape from reality and be with the person they love. The second line mentions cheap sex and sad films, implying that the singer is indulging in unhealthy habits to distract themselves from the pain of separation.


The second stanza seems to be directed towards the person who has left the singer. The singer is asking them to stop sending letters, as they end up getting burned. This line suggests that the singer wants to avoid any reminders of the past and move on with their life. The next line talks about how the movies have fed us on little white lies, emphasizing how the cinematic portrayal of love and relationships is often unrealistic.


The repetition of "I think you're crazy, maybe" in the chorus adds a sense of ambiguity to the lyrics. It can be interpreted in different ways, either as the singer questioning their own sanity or reflecting on the irrationality of love and heartbreak. The final line "I will see you in the next life" hints at a desire for reconciliation beyond this lifetime.

Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
I'm going to give you my heart
Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
And cause you light up the path
你的美猶如佈滿星辰的夜空
我願為你付出全部
你的美猶如佈滿星辰的夜空
是你照亮前方的路

I don't care
Go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do
Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you
我不在乎
即使害我粉身碎骨
我不在乎 一點也不
因為在這片滿佈星辰的夜空
彷彿與你共度

Cause you're a sky, cause you're a sky full of stars
I want to die in your arms
Cause you get lighter, the more it gets dark
I'm going to give you my heart
你的美猶如佈滿星辰的夜空
我願死在你的懷中
越是陰暗越顯光亮
我願付出我的真心

I don't care
Go on and tear me apart
I don't care if you do
Cause in a sky, cause in a sky full of stars
I think I saw you
我不在乎
即使害我粉身碎骨
我不在乎 一點也不
因為在這片滿佈星辰的夜空
彷彿與你共度

Cause you're a sky ,cause you're a sky full of stars
Such a heavenly view
Such a heavenly view
因為你的美猶如佈滿星辰的夜空
猶如天堂一般的美好
