"2+2=5" Radiohead

What is the song talking about lyrically?
-The song is talking about how the dystopia is getting out of hand and the officials should be paying attention to all of the bad things that are going on.
How does the music mirror or help push the message?
-The music pushes the message because it repeats the main point, which is extremely important to the message, over and over again helping the audience to hear what they need to hear.
The title is an allusion to 1984. Explain this connection.
-In 1984 the govenment changes the past to make it the truth. 2+2=5 could be the truth if the government changed it and made it so. 2+2=5 symbolizes their dystopia.
