In 'Wired Dreams', Radiohead explores the feelings of detachment and isolation in a world dominated by digital consumption and superficial connections. The protagonist navigates through an increasingly hollow reality, questioning the nature of authenticity while yearning for genuine human experiences amidst the chaos of modern life.
Verse 1:
Caught in the screen's glow,
Muted voices echo,
Fingers scroll through the haze,
Living in a pixelized maze.
Pre-Chorus:
Where's the touch of the real?
Lost in the virtual wheel,
Drowning in empty feeds,
Sowing unfulfilled needs.
Chorus:
Wired dreams, can’t you see?
Chained to this false reality,
Yearning for something bright,
To break free into the light.
Verse 2:
In this labyrinth of code,
Every smile feels like a load,
Behind the glass we crave,
Connection’s a shallow grave.
Pre-Chorus:
Where's the warmth in the tone?
Just echoes of the unknown,
Wrapped in electric sighs,
Searching for truth in the lies.
Chorus:
Wired dreams, can’t you see?
Chained to this false reality,
Yearning for something bright,
To break free into the light.
Bridge:
Fading into the void,
Every moment enjoyed,
Feels like a fleeting static,
These connections are dramatic.
Chorus:
Wired dreams, can’t you see?
Chained to this false reality,
Yearning for something bright,
To break free into the light.
Outro:
Leave the screen, find the dawn,
In the silence, we are drawn,
To the pulse of the real,
Beyond the haze, we can feel.

The song follows a protagonist who feels detached from reality, caught in the endless cycle of digital consumption and artificial connections. As they navigate a world that feels increasingly hollow, they begin to question what is real and what is illusion. The chorus could reflect a yearning for something genuine, a desperate need to break free from the "wired dreams" that entrap them.
