Mystery question for this music video clip: what do you think the man on the pavement says that causes everyone else to fall down on the pavement as well?
Just - Radiohead
Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
Teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself
You do
And that's what really hurts
Is you do it to yourself
Just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks 3 times
He still comes reeling through the door
One day I'll get to you
Teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself
You do
And that's what really hurts
Is you do it yourself
Just you
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself

I repeatly watch the movie to konw what the man is saying to people on the pavement but it's hard to guess.
My wild idea is that he said "think away death".
I guess it means "death" in his saying "but God forgive me and God help us all because you don't know what you ask of me."
I think I'm totally different way to guess.

Yes, I don't think the answer is as obvious as that... But that's just my personal opinion. I read somewhere around the Internet that the band said there is no one correct answer - they deliberately left the final comment from the man on the pavement a complete mystery, even to themselves. They mentioned something about wanting each viewer to decide the answer for themselves.
Sounds deep, doesn't it?
I have my personal opinion as to what the man might have said, but I'll hold on to it and keep it to myself until some other people have expressed their opinions and guesses. My guess is no more correct than anyone else's, after all...
All the best,

Well, let me guess. I couldn't hear both the music and what they are talking because I didn't bring my earphone to school here. So I'm guessing based on only visual thing.
I think that the man lying on the pavement is "Just" same as the song title. Sometimes I get some feeling that I have huge problems within myself and no one can help me with those things. The only thing I can do at that moment is just lie down and think about what I have done, what I have missed, and what I can/have to do after I get out of my bed.
This is my way of solving problems. Maybe I misunderstood what the musicvideo wants to say ;-(
P.S. I clicked this music because of "radiohead". The only song of radiohead I know is "Creep" which has very despairing lyric.

I repeatedly watched the movement of his mouth to find out what the man is saying. What I found out is that I think, the man is saying "Let's think away". But, it doesn't explain why other people also lie down. And as I think over it, what I think has nothing to do with the song lyrics. It's really hard to guess about it.
As you said, it may not be such an obvious thing. If so, there may be more words behind the saying..
I've fascinated with Radiohead's songs 'creep' and 'karma police' once before. But I've never heard this song. I think this lyrics are also very impressive like Radiohead's other songs.(Exactly I don't understand what the words of this song means.)

Wow - I like both Yoori's and Yunhee's thoughts about the possible meanings in this song. Very interesting!

While I was surfing through some Coldplay songs for a different thread in this forum, I came across this video clip.
I think the look, feel and (maybe) message of this clip is similar to the clip above for the Radiohead song.
What do you think?!
