Nobody knows, apart from Radiohead and they aren't saying anything! It's been discussed to death on lots of Radiohead messageboards though, so if you want to discuss what it could mean with fellow fans you could try one of these:

My clothing is still,\nwhen I traverse the earth, \nor leave a house,\nor stir up the seas.\nThis lofty air recedes me \nwith my trappings \nbeyond the heroes bend,\nthen widely, \nthe strength of the clouds\nhides me from folk.\nSounding loud and singing bright, \nthey sing of my armour, \nyet I nearby am not\nto water and earth\nto sailor's breath.\n\n \n\n\n\n\n(A note on transcription of pesky OE letters: The above poem is rendered as a jpeg in order to show the OE letters, thorn and eth. That option isn't feasible for the following essay and thus I have switched to using 'th' for both.)\n\n \n\nSome Observations\nA common answer given for this riddle is "Swan".(1) The symbolism in this riddle has some interesting connections with that of the Swan in Celtic cultures. (Don't mix up the Anglo-Saxons with the Celts. These are different peoples. But in some places, they lived in close proximity to each other leading to the possibility of cross-fertilization.)\n\nTo the Celts, the swan was related to music. In the above riddle there are several lines devoted to singing. The swan also commanded the three elements mentioned in the riddle: air (hea lyft, wolcna strengu), water (wado drefe, flode), and earth (hrusan trede, foldan). And the swan was also linked to travel between this world and the Otherworld. (2) The final word of the riddle, "gæst" means both "guest" and "spirit,soul,ghost." (3)\n\nA bit further afield than the Celts, in Serbian folklore, the swan was conected to the vile (sg. vila, remember them from the fourth Harry Potter book?).(4) The vile were woodland nymphs which seems a bit of a stretch, but one word in the poem might indicate a connection. "Hryste" is listed in Clark Hall as meaning either jewels or "hillock or wooded immenence."\n\nLL

what does it mean? He wrote it for his ex girlfriend who broke his heart. he was madly in love with her, but she left him. even though he won the hearts of millions of females around the world with that one song, it wasn't enough to get her back!! it's the nicest song though, i cry every time i hear it.

may my breath get some place in your heart\nand let my life be destroyed(fanaa) in your love.\n\nI guess this is how it goes.

it's a really good song, but doesnt make a lot of sense. he talks about putting the transistor between your legs and "turn it up, turn it up". maybe it's some type of strange electronic device?

Incidentally, the word is BLISS, not BLESS. Here's the whole poem:\n\n"Virtue, how frail it is!\nFriendship, too rare!\nLove, how it sells poor bliss\nFor proud despair!\nBut we, though soon they fall,\nSurvive their joy, and all\nWhich ours we call."\n\n\nThe lines in question seem to mean that love often begins with bliss and ends in despair. Love "sells" bliss by exchanging it for despair when love is gone. Good question.

It is a symbol of the band HIM, they created it themselves. My guess would be that if you can find info on the band HIM then you will probably find why they created it and use it.  What it represents to them.

There is a hidden meaning to the song, it talks about her masturbating. \n"I love myself\nIt’s not a sin\nI can’t control what’s happenin’\n\n‘Cause I just discovered\nImagination’s taking over\nAnother day without a lover\nThe more I come to understand\nThe touch of my hand"\n\nShe is in love with herself and she can't help her imagination taking over and then she begins to start masturbating because she doesn't have anyone else to have sex with.

Ive never heard of the song. I would look up the band or the song to see if its hebrew or something and then find a site that can translate.

I think its about the emptiness of life. its written in a flow of consciousness so maybe he was confused and lost while writing the song. try listening to tori amos's version of it.

First off, this songs meaning doesn't lie in death, its just using death to define life. For instance, if he is saying that he will follow her into death, hes definitely saying that he is hers for life; that he wants to grow old with her.\n\nIt is a fact that many older people after being married for 50 and 60 years grow extremely close. When one dies, the other often dies soon thereafter. And that is mainly the concept this song is trying to convey.\n\n"I will follow you into the dark." = I will always be there for you when you are uncertain, even into the greatest uncertainty of all...death.\n\nThe song is about infinite love. And in the video, he is just literally follows into the dark. How the floor disappears could also mirror how life seems to disappear, and how we will all eventually follow  into the dark.

It means "live in the present"....forget the past and don't sweat the future. Concentrate on the here and now.
