Where I End & You Begin. (The
Radiohead Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we meet
Where I end and you begin

And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end and you begin
(4, 5, 6, 7)

I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't, and I can't come down

I can watch and not take part
Where I end and where you start
Where you, you left me alone
You left me alone

X will mark the place
Like the parting of the waves
Like a house falling in the sea
In the sea

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

And there'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

And there'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

And there'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies
There'll be no more lies

I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive
I will eat you alive

Line by Line Meaning

There's a gap in between
There is a space between us


There's a gap where we meet
The space between us is where we connect


Where I end and you begin
Our individuality separates us, but it also brings us together


And I'm sorry for us
I regret our situation


The dinosaurs roam the earth
Things are out of control, chaotic


The sky turns green
The world is upside down, nothing makes sense


I am up in the clouds
I am detached, removed from reality


And I can't, and I can't come down
I am stuck in my own head, unable to connect with others


I can watch and not take part
I am an observer, not a participant in life


Where I end and where you start
The line between us is blurry


Where you, you left me alone
You abandoned me


X will mark the place
There will be a clear sign of where we're divided


Like the parting of the waves
Our separation is as powerful as natural phenomena


Like a house falling in the sea
Our union is destructive, not sustainable


I will eat you alive
I will take control, dominate you


And there'll be no more lies
When I take over, the truth will be revealed

الترجمة الى العربية. قبل ذلك الأغنية عميقة المعنى. أتمنى أن أكون قد وفقت فيها :

يوجد فراغ بيننا
هناك انفصال حيث إلتقينا
أين أنا انتهيت وأنت بدأت

وأنا أسف لأنفسنا
المكان تجوبه الديناصورات
السماء أضحت خضراء
منذ أنا انتهيت وأنت بدأت

أنا في الأعلى في الغيوم
أنا في الأعلى في الغيوم
ولا أستطيع ، ولا أستطيع النزول

أستطيع المشاهدة دون المشاركة
منذ أن إنتهيت وأنت بدأت
منذ أنت، تركتني وحدي
تركتني وحدي

أحدهم X سيملء المكان
مثل مفترق طرق
مثل سقوط منزل في البحر
في البحر

سأكلك حياً
لن يكون هناك المزيد من الأكاذيب !

It's mad how you could name 30 perfect Radiohead songs, then you hear one you've completely forgotten about and it's also perfect.

@orrykaplan

The most underrated Radiohead song of all time

@multiversechorus

Honestly it is. As I grow forward as a fan I continue to move it upwards in my faves though. That's the problem with Radiohead. They put out so many great songs. HTTT is criminally underrated anyways.

@ringray

completely agree hail to the thief is so underrated

@maghyo7950
