Radiohead - Man Of War Lyrics






Drift all you like from ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
But drunken confessions and hijacked affairs
Will just make you more alone

When you come home I'll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me dressed for the kill

You're my man of war
You're my man of war
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
Yeah, yeah, yeah

So unplug the phones, stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
To poison clouds and poisoned dwarves

You're my man of war
You're my man of war
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
Yeah, the worms will come for you, big boots
For you, big boots

    Fun fact: This song was originally made as an homage to James Bond themes back in the 90's. A version was recorded for the original Avengers, but abandoned. In 2015, Radiohead were commissioned to make a Bond theme for Spectre and pitched this. The production team liked it, but rejected it when they learned that it wasn't an original song and thus wasn't eligible for an Academy Award for Best Original Composition.


    Radiohead then halted production of Moon Shaped Pool to write "Spectre," which was rejected for being too melancholy.

  7. M.... S....

    This song represents the trauma of psychological paranoia of always being watched,followed....

  8. E.... H....

    Could someone help understand the lyrics ?? 🙏 I’m not English so kinda hard to understand the double sense

  9. M.... T....

    This song is the way i discovered radiohead.


    I do not regret clicking on it when i saw it in my spotify recommendations.

  10. A.... D....

    It's a greatest theme for all times !!!!!!!!! With love from Ukraine.

    The wonderful thing about Radiohead, nobody can ever decide what song or album is best. You don’t see that very often. I personally love this song and the meaning behind it. Of course, it’s hard to pick a favorite.

  14. S.... K....

    If anyone else understands, this video is a PERFECT representation of what running away from ego-death feels like, whether it be from psychedelics, meditation, or whatever means you used to achieve it. The faster you run from it, the scarier and more confusing it becomes, but in reality it will always be a couple feet behind and isn’t trying to hurt you. It’s just there.

    I met someone who really looked like Thom Yorke. I should have talked to him, he would have probably been a very interesting person. But I was very scared. Tsk as I always am with people.

    I've just realized that the intro for "La casa de las flores" sounds very much like the intro of this song. Maybe that's why it sounded familiar

  25. K.... I....

    Grande canzone

  26. P.... C....

    Great fucking song.
    Great fucking video.

    World's greatest band? Maybe.

    World's creepiest scaremongerers? Yes. (But then again, it's really happening!)

  27. A.... O....

    This song is so especial :)

  28. J.... G....

    Dirty ass guitar riff

  32. h.... s....

    갓곡 인정합니다잉~~ ^^)b

  33. J.... H....

    This whole video is just a depiction of the guy feeling like a fraud for pretending the crossword was easy and he finished it when he actually couldn't even get one clue.

  34. J.... H....

    It's interesting too that at first he is running towards someone (trying to return their dropped phone) and then there's that switch and he ends up trying his hardest to runaway from people

    J.... H....

    Eres cool

  35. J.... H....

    Maybe he's going through the same events at the same exact time but his state of mind is switching between the light/day and dark/night 🦇. In the end the dark feelings, the fear & paranoia win. The dark state of mind spills into the day and it stops the switching - the video ending in night. The beginning shot of the video was day.

  36. J.... H....

    This song takes me to back when Radiohead was first getting mainstream success. I feel like mainstream music nowadays doesn't have a space for "alternative" artists like this. I just realized how much I miss that about the music I grew up listening to in the 90s and 00s

  37. J.... H....

    The video and music go so well together. Like this song should be playing as an ordinary guy walks towards madness.


    It's not like a literal translation, it's just a really great interpretation.

  38. T.... ....

    This song still blows me away as to how it didn't make the album originally. This has become one of my favorite Radiohead songs of all time, very glad they chose to release it now.

  39. A.... ....

    I feel like the character and the video describe me and my life metaphorically.....
    The scenes during the day represent the daily routine in the social environment...a character created to meet the expectations of others, confident, sure of himself (which is well explained by his body language). During the night scenes, out of the moments of social interaction, away from the theater in which our life was transformed, the worst fears, the greatest frustrations, and the feeling of insecurity about ourselves comes to the surface. As time goes by, these negative aspects begin to pursue us everywhere and get out of control to the point where we can no longer maintain the appearance that everything is normal. And so, the more we try to run away from these things, the more and more they are there, behind us.
    And when all this deepens in a way in which we think it is the end and finally we will be consumed by these feelings, we realize that their purpose is not to cause a tragic end, but an eternal tragedy. A cycle that never ceases...

  40. H.... b....

    When people ask me why I get anxiety. This is it!!

  41. E.... I....

    on the outside he looks like a confidant man but on the inside he's a man with serious anxiety

  42. f.... 1....

    The actors mannarisms could not have been more on point about people with social anxiety.

  43. k.... o....

    I know !

  44. t.... ....

    I thought they're had a rabbit heads in the end

  45. R.... M....

    This is not a song. Its a fucking poetry.

  46. K.... D....

    I just wouldn't except less than taht from Radiohead :)

  47. k.... ....

    I guess all Manowar fans are here.

  48. k.... t....

    The 3.6 crazy people who disliked this, did not dislike the song. They just had a panic attack from the video.

  49. S.... K....

    This video explains my schizophrenia better than I can.

  50. p.... ....

    Radiohead trying to get that James Bond $

  51. T.... J....

  54. F.... G....

    Musica fantastica video strepitoso

  55. D.... ....

    If you stop running away from your problems, they stop chasing you.

  56. F.... ....

    That car at 3:10 looks oddly familiar

  57. B.... R....

    First time listening to Radiohead in a while

  58. D.... V....

    The end reminds me of fahrenheit 451

  59. D.... V....

    A portuguese man of war drifts on the waves, hunting small fish with its tentacles and avoiding blue slugs, listening to this.

  60. E.... F....

    Uma das minhas bandas predileta

  61. A.... L....

    On parle bcp de Mozart, mais pas assez de Thom Yorke

  62. W.... M....

    Radiohead why your musics are so perfects ?

  63. M.... W....

    They really could do no wrong in the late 90s

  64. m.... c....

    The intro sounds like some Strangelove's songs. Radiohead enjoyed that band.

  65. M.... ....

    This video reminds me of Massive Attack's "Angle" video

  66. p.... t....

    James Bond wishes he had this as a theme song.

  67. J.... ....

    Smartphone?

  68. R.... E....

    allah belanı versin nostalji

  69. v.... t....

    What is this sorcery

  70. A.... b....

    spiegelt unsere Gesellschaft that's me walking the streets of this fucking city

  71. J.... R....

    When you go home
    You'll bake you a cake
    Made of all their eyes
    You wish they could see you now
    Dressed for the kill
    Man of war

  72. C.... M....

    Mejor banda de todas

  73. N.... P....

    "Karma Police (Part.2 Man of War)"

  74. L.... S....

    What the hell does the video mean.

  75. C.... S....

    I’ll never get over that camera shot when the running starts

  76. V.... V....

    This line of bass is so awesome!

    V.... V....

    Efek rumah kaca - melankolia . Try this song bro. Have a same feel

  77. s.... c....

    "big boobs
    Will
    Come
    FOR YOUUUUUUU"

  78. P.... I....

    I think he is a ex militar or a abusive police man that is always running away of his guilt. And the people that follows him are the people he killed, even if he returns home and tries to live a normal life, his sins will follow him until the end of his days.

  79. g.... n....

    Man,I love this song it’s been haunting my soul

  80. p.... ....

    This would make a great James Bond theme song

  81. A.... R....

    Anyone else feels anxious watching the video?

  82. r.... ....

    Wait, isn't this the guy from Karma Police

  83. r.... ....

    This is so damn clever

  84. c.... g....

    great vid

  85. M.... ....

    What I think this video comes to say is that the people a man killed (even if it was during war) will always be there and hunt him in his head....

  86. A.... F....

    "drunken confessions and haijecked affairs will just make you more alone" Best band with the best lyrics... master of piece. Radiohead can describe all the human problems with sublimes songs!

  87. G.... T....

    they wont do nothing to you.....they will still with you. Your past, your exs...your life.

  88. O.... A....

    Bu nasıl şarkı orospuçocu

  89. N.... B....

    And it finishes on a railroad. ..

    for every word you gave me. I really love you and will remember you all
