Rabbit In Your Headlights
Radiohead · Other Songs - Radiohead
I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Scared of the spotlight
You don't come to visit
I'm stuck in this bed
Thin rubber gloves
She laughs when she's crying
She cries when she's laughing
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...
(Away....away....away....)
I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
Washed down the toliet
Money to burn
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away...
Sample from movie Jacob's Ladder :
If you're frightened of dyin' and you're holding on...
You'll see devils tearing your life away.
But...if you've made your peace,
Then the devils are really angels
Freeing you from the earth.....from the earth....from the earth
White worms on the underground
Caught between stations
Butterfingers
I'm losing my patience
I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
You got money to burn....
Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away.....
Away, away, away,
Away, away, away.

Released in 2007 on the album In Rainbows, this track stands as a defining moment in Radiohead's evolution from alternative rock to electronic experimentation. The song features a distinctive, looping synth melody that drives a narrative of anxiety and introspection, reflecting the band's deepening engagement with digital soundscapes. Produced by Nigel Godrich, the recording blends organic instrumentation with synthesized textures to create an atmospheric and unsettling mood. It has become a staple of the band's discography, often cited as a precursor to their later, more fully electronic works. The track exemplifies Radiohead's ability to transform personal emotional states into a universal sonic experience, influencing countless artists in the indie and electronic genres who followed.
