Motion Picture Soundtrack Lyrics

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, maybe
I think you're crazy, maybe

I will see you in the next life

What is the Meaning of Motion Picture Soundtrack?

Exploring themes of loss and disillusionment, this haunting track uses the metaphor of a 'motion picture soundtrack' to depict how real life often falls short of cinematic expectations. The lyrics poignantly convey the pain of trying to numb heartache with temporary fixes like "red wine and sleeping pills," while yearning for a more profound connection that seems only possible in another existence—"I will see you in the next life." It's a somber reflection on love, escapism, and the stark reality versus the glossed-over narratives we are fed through media. #Radiohead #EmotionalDepth
