Backdrifts
Radiohead Lyrics
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters
This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink of
Honey sweet
I'm backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So you're backtracking
Ah ah ah
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our
You fell into a
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters

The lyrical imagery came from the time the band became trapped on a bullet train in a snowdrift in Japan:
"The snow was piled high on the branches, and then a bullet train would go past, and the snow would drop off the branch. The whole world was utterly blanketed except for these straggly bits of black and white. And that’s where it started. The words have always been based in that image.“He described the song as being about "the slide backwards that’s happening everywhere you look.”
The song's alternative title is "Honeymoon Is Over".

Lyrics:
We´re rotten fruit
We´re damaged goods
What the hell
We got nothing more
To lose
One gust & we
Will probably crumble
We´re back drifters.
This far but no further
I´m hanging off a branch
I´m teetering on the brink
Oh honeysweet
So full of sleep
I´m backsliding
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried
But there was nothing
We could do
Nothing we could do
All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So you´re backtracking
Ah ah ah
You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do
You fell into our, ah
You fell into a
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're back drifters
비정한세상

Backdrifts
we're rotten fruit
우리는 썩어버린 과일이야
we're damaged goods
우리는 망가진 물건이야
what the hell we've got nothing more to lose
우린 더 이상 잃어버릴게 하나도 없어
one burst and we will probably crumble
한번 폭발하면 우리는 아마도 산산조각 날거야
we're backdrifting
우리는 거꾸로 흘러가고 있어
this far but no further
여기까지 멀리도 거꾸로 흘러왔어 그러나 더 나아가면 안돼
i'm hanging off a branch
나는 잡고 있는 작은 나뭇가지에서 손을 놓고 있어
i'm teetering on a brink
나는 가장자리 위에서 흔들리고 있어
honey sweets so fall a sleep
자기야 그런 까닭에서 잠들어버려
i'm backsliding
난 거꾸로 미끄러지고 있다고
you fell into our arms
넌 우리의 품으로 들어 왔지
you fell into our arms
넌 우리의 품으로 들어 왔지
we tried but there was nothing we could do
우리는 노력했지만 거기에는 우리가 할수 있는 것이 아무것도 없었어
nothing we could do
우리가 할 수 있는 것이 아무것도 없었어
all evidence has been buried
모든 흔적은 묻혀버렸어
all tapes have been erased
모든 기록들은 지워져 버렸어
but your footsteps give you away
그러나 너의 발자국은 너를 저쪽으로 인도했어
so you're backtracking
그래서 넌 역추적하고 있는거야
ah ah ah
you fell into our arms
넌 우리의 품으로 들어 왔지
you fell into our arms
넌 우리의 품으로 들어 왔지
we tried but there was nothing we could do
우리는 노력했지만 거기에는 우리가 할 수 있는 것이 아무것도 없었어
nothing we could do
우리가 할 수 있는 것이 아무것도 없었어
you fell into our arms
넌 우리의 품으로 들어 왔지
you fell into our arms
넌 우리의 품으로 들어 왔지
we're rotten fruit
우린 썩어버린 과일이야
we're damaged goods
우리는 망가진 물건이야
what the hell we've got nothing more to lose
우린 더 이상 잃어버릴게 하나도 없어
one burst and we will probably crumble
한번 폭발하면 우리는 아마도 산산조각 날거야
we're backdrifting
우리는 거꾸로 흘러가고 있어

I have listened to all Radiohead songs. This is my favourite. There is a strange infectiousness to the accent of the beat, something uplifting about the chorus despite the lyrics, something transcendental about the most simple piano solo at the end. The fact that it ends then starts again is one of its assets and makes the song seem much longer than it is, something Radiohead consciously tried to achieve on this album. I would describe the mood as "the joy of resignation".
Biponacci
@Protenor Yeah only a sixth for me sadly.
Protenor
@Biponacci I have indeed and I fully agree that it is always good to make fun of oasis. But while I accept the common idea that it outshines the original version, I wouldn't even include it among my top five Radiohead songs
Biponacci
You say you have listened to them all, but have you listened to Wonderwall?
The_____ Project
I feel like is an upbeat version of the gloaming. But that ones super dark. But I love them both equally
K-leb
You write really well.
Rockford the Roe
Aphex Twin + Nine Inch Nails + Amnesiac = This masterpiece
Davy Roger
Sounds like 15 step's more tech savvy older brother
Vishrut Upadhyay
Lol kinda yes
Waved / Glasshouse
My personal favourite from this album.
