| This song is about getting second chances. The speaker was in a car accident, and is saved by an airbag. His survival is so incredible, it's as if he's been reborn. The feeling is incredible: "in an interstellar burst i am back to save the universe." | |

| Uh, guys, i'm pretty sure "in an interstellar burst, i am back to save the universe" is about the airbag itself. "interstellar burst": the airbag pops out; "save the universe": saves a life. | |

| airbag is about a normal person (probably very young) terrified of life beyond comprehension then bang!because they have set their mind to just getting out of life their mind gives them a layout for life therefore hailing to this they are brought into a kind of futuristic fantasy world where technology is basically god and everything looks very assertive and like its there for that person in a way,therefore they feel the same and can live.you see are you all starting to get it now its the same for all radiohead albums,same way of looking at it i dont know how you could be seeing otherwise your just making things very complicated and seem to be ignoring things on a certain level? | |

| You're all wrong, except for Gordo. Thom himself has stated that this song is about the incredible feeling you get when you've ALMOST screwed up really bad, but you just missed it. Like when you nearly slip and fall down stairs, or almost get killed in a car accident but are saved, things like that. Just the amazing feeling that you could have been dead if you hadn't fluked out once again. | |

| The airbag (technology), in this case is not expressed as something great, it is just balancing out the bad of cars with something good (safety). | |
