About this Quote

Thom Yorke's quote reflects a sense of anguish and despondence in the face of the world's present state. He has actually read about the fifty years since the Second World War and Western foreign policy, and it has actually left him feeling overwhelmed and cynical. He is trying to remain positive, but the truth of the situation is excessive for him to overlook. He is having a hard time to discover hope in a world that appears to be filled with dispute and injustice. His words suggest that he is feeling powerless and unable to make a difference in the world. He is trying to remain positive, however the reality of the scenario is excessive for him to disregard. His words show a deep sense of sadness and frustration, and a sensation that the world is beyond repair.
