IDIOTEQUE - New Design

Comment : Well .. It's frustrating That the song that i like to dance alone the most .. seems to be about the end of the world.

Thom Yorke does not directly explain his lyrics, but “Idioteque” has been described by others as an “apocalyptic” song, with possible references to natural disaster, war and technological breakdown. Many fans interpret “Idioteque” as having something to do with climate change, an issue on which Yorke is outspoken and which he has admitted inspired subsequent songs..

The song opens with the lines: “who’s in a bunker, who’s in a bunker, women and children first…” Yorke has not explained the reference, but has said other songs, such as 2003’s “I Will” and “Sit Down. Stand Up.” were about civilians killed in military conflict and genocide , Near the end of the song, a line that sounds like “the first of the children” is repeatedly sung, possibly a reference to the album’s title Kid A (this line is actually a sample of Yorke’s vocal from earlier in the song, played halfway through the line “women and children first, and the children”, making the line “the first, and the children”). However, when Yorke sings the song live, it varies between “the(re’s) fathers and the children,” “this one is to the children,” “this one is for the children,” or “if I asked you to kill me.” ..

The lyrics are paralleled in the visual artwork for the album Kid A by Stanley Donwood and Thom Yorke, under the pen name “Tchock”. Donwood’s paintings depict a wasteland covered by sheets of ice and snow, with fires in distant forests and genetically modified bears and other mysterious shapes taking control of human civilization.

Another Explanition : It means that the grand solar minimum is here. they'll raise more taxes to find a solution, to preserve the women and the children first, if course... but nothing will become of it, they'll continue to build their own wealth and solidarity while we all starve and freeze to death. The media and figureheads could have warned us, yet their program wasn't to warn us, they want us thinking everything is okay, that everything is in its right place, repeated over and over it on the kid a album. Idioteque, must be somekind of place that divides us and tells us it is global warming .. which means all songs in the album KID A is connected somehow..

It's really hard to understand That song.. so i might be wrong, hope u like it
