Subterranean Homesick Alien
Radiohead Lyrics
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town
Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement
Up above
Making home movies
For the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets
They're all
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Oh
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be alright
Alright
I'm alright
Alright
I'm just
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight
Uptight

The first occured at Abingdon School, when he was assigned an essay question that went something like this: "If you were an alien from another planet arriving on Earth, how would you describe what you saw?" The second incident occurred when Thom was driving down a country road and hit a bird (which he believes was a pheasant). He stepped out of the car and at that moment began thinking about alien abduction.

Where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet
For cracks in the pavement
Up above
Aliens hover

Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits

And live for their secrets
They're all uptight

I'd tell all my friends
But they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away
But I'd be all right
All right..
I'm just uptight

@nobody special hang in there bud. You don't need a label to get better trust me. Just talk to your therapist about how you're feeling, really tell them what's on your mind don't hold a thing back, even if you're scared of getting judged. That's all it takes to start figuring out steps to take towards getting better. Psychiatrists have always been awful in my experience, they just push pills that might help or make it 20x worse.

@nobody special get a proper diagnosis so you can get the help you need then

@Noah Taylor i'm 19, have a therapist and a psychiatrist, and have a specific type of mood disorder that still hasn't been diagnosed. i've been misdiagnosed with bipolar disorder for the past 4 years and my meds have never done shit. i got caught by the police listening to this fucking album. please don't assume.

@nobody special Either you are an edgy teen from r/im14andthisisdeep or you need actual help. If you are an edgy teen, take some advice. Don't pretend to be depressed because if you do it long enough you'll actually get depressed and you'll know how much it takes a toll on you. Stay safe
