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

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,
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

We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell we've got nothing more to lose
One burst and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifting
This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on a breaker
Honey sweets so fall asleep
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
Oh oh oh
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 burst and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters

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

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 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

I love the subtle backing vocals in every lyric. They're so creepy, looming, and enveloping. They remind me of Aphex Twin somewhat. I didn't even notice them until recently.

Backdrift, it's the subtle feeling of going backwards, if you listen carefully there is a beat in the song that's in reverse the whole time...

Funny story about this song:

Last night, I was listening to Hail to the Thief on our Amazon Echo. The little disc of light on top was periodically glowing yellow, and that was getting on my nerves. So I asked Alexa “why are you glowing yellow?” And she responded, “glowing yellow means that you have a new notification”. At this point Backdrifts was already playing, probably past the middle. So I asked Alexa to check notifications, so, I’m the climax of Backdrifts, Alexa informed me that the olive oil had, in fact, arrived.

La musique est salutaire quand elle suscite une émotion ou une humeur en vous. il ne s'agit pas nécessairement d'être mélodique, religieux ou ouvertement musical, mais plutôt de transporter l'auditeur quelque part où il n'était pas avant. Dans ce cas précis, j'ai l'impression d'être assis sur un banc de parc par une tiède soirée. le vent me caresse doucement le visage, et tout est silencieux à part la nature qui m'entoure. Il est intéressant que je mentionne que cela évoque le silence quand je parle de cette musique.
