Fake Plastic Trees

Her green plastic watering can
For her fake Chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth.
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself.
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out.

She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And it wears him out, it wears him out.
It wears him out, it wears . . .

She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love.
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run.
And it wears me out, it wears me out.
It wears me out, it wears me out.

And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.
Oh, oh.
Radiohead

...good song to wake up to isn't it? i think this song is the world, and reality that we live in....a reality that's created from our minds gradually since birth. most of us derive our reality from social "norms" and philosophies promoted in our society today. this song alludes to the fact that our world today is indeed superficial and commercial. now isn't the time to succumb to the materialistic reality that media wants us to be. we should all follow our own endeavors and stop pretending to live life in a false sense of reality.
