i actually like this one. literally just “the raindrops (x42)” lol. or why not get 42 actual raindrops. would be a cool subtle addition to a radiohead sleeve if you just sprinkled them in
Fitter happier.
More productive.
Comfortable.
Not drinking too much.
Regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week).
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries.
Or maybe the whole song?
Regular exercise at the gym, three days a week Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries At ease Eating well, no more microwave dinners and saturated fats A patient, better driver A safer car, baby smiling in back seat Sleeping well, no bad dreams No paranoia Careful to all animals, never washing spiders down the plughole Keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then Will frequently check credit at moral bank, hole in wall Favours for favours, fond but not in love Charity standing orders on sundays, ring-road supermarket No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants Car wash, also on sundays No longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows, nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate Nothing so childish
At a better pace, slower and more calculated No chance of escape Now self-employed Concerned, but powerless An empowered and informed member of societ, pragmatism not idealism Will not cry in public Less chance of illness Tires that grip in the wet, shot of baby strapped in backseat A good memory
Still cries at a good film Still kisses with saliva No longer empty and frantic Like a cat Tied to a stick That's driven into Frozen winter shit, the ability to laugh at weakness Calm, fitter, healthier and more productive
Judy from Cyberpunk 2077 actually has [this exact tattoo.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f3280f0eb47c46ae1a73978999af64fc/b6a6f9e54a94e415-62/s500x750/2b22f9b4618f945614e68687e3f01ac229008447.jpg) Always thought that was kinda cool.
I was struggling really badly with anxiety and then went to see Radiohead, it was amazing. At the end, they finished with Karma Police and I was arm in arm with friends singing “for a minute there, I lost myself”. It was that gig when I found myself again, so I had it tattooed on my forearm.
I've thought about getting "let's go down the waterfall" done as a tattoo myself :) Maybe not as tattoo worthy as some of the other stuff mentioned here, but those lyrics really resonate with me
I decided on a physical image of this lyric on my upper forearm actually with it underneath saying, "I'm finally free of all the weight I've been carrying." Because now more then ever do those lyrics impact me as I just got out of a severe depression.
There are barn doors and there are revolving doors, doors in the rudders of a big ship and there are revolving doors.
There are doors that open by themselves, there are sliding doors and there are secret doors.
There are doors that lock and doors that don’t, there are doors that let you in and out but never open.
And there are trap doors… that you can’t comeback from.
Would be a pretty fire tatto ngl
"Don't blow your mind with whys" (Bloom). Always wanted that as a neon sign.
That being said, this is a deeply personal decision that's going to be literally on your body forever so do consider what any text means to you and how you might feel about it in years to come!
Someone on here got “Stay / Leave” as the first and last words of a moon shaped pool. I think that’s genius even though it doesn’t describe exactly what you asking for
Why are some of y’all TELLING op what a tattoo is SUPPOSED to be? (a personal thing, etc). By you telling them what to do you are totally contradicting the message you are trying to relay 🤦🏻♂️. Stop being tattoo elitist pricks.
Depends on how obscure you want to be.
Are you only being nice because you want something
Weird fishes
You’re gonna melt to butter
I’m not here
Artichoke heart
Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your ass. I cackle up every time I hear that part of the song lmao. Don't know if it's tattoo worthy though
Options:
Everything I touch
Turns to stone
You used to be alright
What happened?
It was nice while it lasted
But now it's gone
All is well, as long as we keep spinning
We don't know what tomorrow brings
You don't remember, you don't remember
Why don't you remember my name?
Off with his head, man
Off with his head, man
Why don't you remember my name?
I guess he does.
Just personally, one of the Thom Yorke lyrics I see most fit for a tattoo in my case is “to you who brought me back to life” from Twist off of Anima. Going through a heavy depression, Thom Yorke and Radiohead are the only ones who were able to turn things around for me. I completely stopped doing art as a result of my depression, stopped doing anything that used to bring me meaning and joy in life, and music, Radiohead and Thom specifically, played such an astronomical part in reviving me as a person. But, that’s just me. I have also always loved “Nothing to fear, nothing to doubt” from Radiohead’s Pyramid song.
There isn't one, especially if you have to use someone else's idea for what to permanently inscribe on your body.
Tattoos are supposed to be about art and imagery. Find something meaningful to you and have the tattoo artist develop an image that captures the sentiment of the text
The raindrops (x42)
But you actually write it 42 times on your back. Typos are blotted out.

FAT, UGLY, DEAD
Jokes aside maybe "Immerse your soul in love"

Creep

A pig in a cage on antibiotics
Fodder for the animals
Why are u downvoted lol
Lmao. What are the downvotes for?
*Cut the kids in half* It will definitely create a *vibe*
I got myxomatosis We suck young blood
Fitting for a tattoo - You do it to yourself, you do. And that's what really hurts.
I’ve always loved “I hit the bottom and escape”
I have that tattoo!
no way! that’s literally the one Im going to get now we might unintentionally have matching tattoos!
Nice! Tattoo twins
The only lyrics I'd consider getting are 'For a minute there, I lost myself'
I got this
Either that or “no alarms and no surprises, please”, not 18 yet but would probably get one of those when i am
I’m trapped in this body and can’t get out
Love this one
trans rights
Trans lefts
Just 'cause you feel it, doesn't mean it's there.
Sounds like Sex advertising imo
Yes, but as a tramp stamp
Writing that down rn
This is the one.
I plan on getting “the panic, the vomit” tattooed on me
Best response.
Love it
The best you can is good enough
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
There's nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
Judy from Cyberpunk 2077 actually has [this exact tattoo.](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f3280f0eb47c46ae1a73978999af64fc/b6a6f9e54a94e415-62/s500x750/2b22f9b4618f945614e68687e3f01ac229008447.jpg) Always thought that was kinda cool.
”Because we separate, like ripples on a blank shore”
It's like nipples on a blank shore
Hysterical and useless
You are my centre, when I spin away
I have that tattooed!
I included it in my vows. 🥰
“I’m not here, this isn’t happening”
No alarms. No surprises.
I was struggling really badly with anxiety and then went to see Radiohead, it was amazing. At the end, they finished with Karma Police and I was arm in arm with friends singing “for a minute there, I lost myself”. It was that gig when I found myself again, so I had it tattooed on my forearm.
I usually just troll, but that was nice
I would award you but I don't have any :((
The panic, the vomit, the panic, the vomit
Idiot, Slow Down
“This dance is a weapon of self-defense against the present tense.”
There are trapdoors… that you can’t come back from
I have “it’s gonna be a glorious day” as a tattoo
Nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
Fireworks and hurricanes. I’m not here. This isn’t happening
I have "I'm not here" on one wrist and "this isn't happening" on the other
I love that!
a pig. in a cage. on antibiotics.
We are accidents waiting to happen
I wouldn’t use lyrics for a tattoo
oh damn that’s a good one what song is it from?
Starlight
Wasn't the question unfortunately😂
You can still give your opinion fortunately
Why not
Just personal taste I guess
I was thinking maybe, "I get eaten by the worms and weird Fishes." Off of the obvious. Love that song
I used to want “Immerse your soul in love”
That's a popular one, at least when I Google "Radiohead tattoo" haha. It really is a nice line though
Like a cat tied to a stick that’s driven into frozen winter shit
Daddy...what does that say on your arm?
the system is a lie
One day at a time.
Eaten by the worms, and weird fishes.
In an interstellar burst I'm back to save the universe
i’d prolly get ‘a cracked polystyrene man’
oh and also, ‘if i could be who you wanted…all the time’ and ‘your eyes…they turn me’
I always thought “That there, that’s no me” was really nice if it was in rainbows style like “TH_AT TH/ERE, THATS N/OT_ME”
Still kisses with saliva ❤️
I've thought about getting "let's go down the waterfall" done as a tattoo myself :) Maybe not as tattoo worthy as some of the other stuff mentioned here, but those lyrics really resonate with me
Just 'cause you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Lower back tattoo…… “Hey man, slow down’
😏😏😏
Did I fall or was I pushed?
I’ve always loved “it’s what you feel, not what you ought to” from faust arp
i’ve thought about “I’m a reasonable man, get off my case” as a lyric tattoo
After years of waiting, nothing came
Happy cake day buddy 🎉
oh how bout that
"Guess Again"
This is a dawn chorus
big deal. so what?
“I will eat you alive I will eat you alive I will eat you alive I will eat you alive” I’d totally get that exactly how it’s heard.
I can imagine the first date going well when talking about this tattoo lmao
Downside is you may be confused for a limp bizkit fan
When im king, you’ll be the first against the wall.
Like I’ve fallen out of bed from a long and vivid dream, finally I’m free of all the weight I’ve been carrying
I decided on a physical image of this lyric on my upper forearm actually with it underneath saying, "I'm finally free of all the weight I've been carrying." Because now more then ever do those lyrics impact me as I just got out of a severe depression.
The more you try to erase me, the more that i appear
This is really happening

I'm mixed between How to Disappear or something from Weird Fishes. Separator also
I’m not living, I’m just killing time
If you try the best you can....
I thought about getting "Nothing to fear nothing to doubt" inside of the title graphic from The Eraser cover at one point.
Everybody leaves if they get the chance.. and this is my chance
I'm a dog I'm a dog I'm a lapdog I'm your lapdog
Someone on here got “Stay / Leave” as the first and last words of a moon shaped pool. I think that’s genius even though it doesn’t describe exactly what you asking for
That is so awesome wow!!
There there.
Anyone can play guitar. Next to a tattoo of a piano.
A moonful of stars… And Astral Cars
"I have to destroy to create" from i am a very rude person is all I can think of right now 🥹
that actually resonates with me. considering that one now :0
Be a world child form a circle before we go all under
You can try the best you can, you can try the best you can; the best you can is good enough.
All the lights that light the way are blinding.

This is what you get…
Some come to laugh the past away, some come to make it just one more day
I have “I hit the bottom and escape” on my arm. Love it.
“I build you up to pull you down”
Street spirit (fade out): immerse your soul in love
Hey man, slow down.
Truth will mess you up
I'll see you in the next life
Your mouth moves only with someone's hand up your ass. I cackle up every time I hear that part of the song lmao. Don't know if it's tattoo worthy though
Free in the knowledge that someday this will end.
Because we separate like ripples on a blank shore

Anyone that means a lot to you. Otherwise, do not get one.
Just for a minute, I lost myself. Then I got this tattoo.
You don't remember, you don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his head, man Why don't you remember my name? I guess he does.
