"How to Disappear Completely" boils down "Let Down" and
"Karma Police" to their spectral essence. The string-laden ballad comes closest to
bridging Yorke's lyrical sentiment to the instrumental effect. "I float down the Liffey/
I'm not here/ This isn't happening," he sings in his trademark falsetto. The strings
melt and weep as the album shifts into its underwater mode.

-Nigel: (when asked if the song had gone over 10 mins): "No no no no no no. It's
going good I think. haven't touched it this year. 6 minutes, I hate people who exaggerate."

-Thom: (when asked about the meaning of the line "I float down the Liffey"):
"I dreamt i was floating down the liffey and there was nothing i could do. i
was flying around Dublin and I really was in the Dream. the whole song is my experiences
of really floating" December 19, 1999
-Phil: "parts I & II
are finished - the final movement
is proving a little tricky though."
