radiohead | "let down" | ok computer | 1997
this great evil ... where does it come from? how'd it steal into the world? what seed, what root did it grow from?
who's killing us, robbing us of life and light, mocking us with the sight of what we might've known?
does our ruin benefit the earth? does it help the grass to grow or the sun to shine?
is this darkness in you too? have you passed through this night?
–private witt, the thin red line (1998)
