What stands behind the lyrics of The National Anthem song

Kid A is conisdered number one of best albums of 00' by rollingstones and contains very weird sounds from weird people who use some unusual music instruments.
First time i heard The national anthem tbh i didn't like much but later i realized how powerful is that song.Below i'll try to explain the mysterious lyrics of this song.



Everyone
Everyone around here
Everyone is so near
What's going on?
What's going on?


Like most of the lyrics from Kid A, The Nation Anthem is vague and deals with anxiety. Ever since the Bends and OK Computer, Radiohead has gotten much more attention and are now filling up stadiums with new fans, but Yorke is in such disbelieve.

Everyone
Everyone is so near
Everyone has got the fear
It's holding on
It's holding on


"Everyone has got the fear" Thom Yorke and the band had a really hard time during 1997-2000s and he expresses himself in this line that people won't like the album they've made,because it was too different with other albums.

"It's holding on" But true fans never won't betray their favorite band,although is something very different they will stay until the show/track is over!

My 3 fav. live performances are that one on SNL,Later with jools holland and the best Live in Paris 2001.Check that out!



FACT* Thom Yorke Wrote that bassline when he was only sixteen.
