"2+2=5" by Radiohead

Lyrically, the song is talking about how he has no control and is always being watched. The government has stolen his authority and they are always "paying attention" to him, which is repeated throughout the song. Also, he talks about how things aren't right like the way they should be. However, it seems as if the world he's living in is trying to be a utopia, but has been created to be a dystopia instead. This relates back to 1984 because this is portrayed in the book as well. Towards the end when he starts to talk more about his authority has been questioned and how he's always wrong, the music gets crazy and it is easy to see how the mood seems almost angry sounding. 2+2=5 is not true, but the government is changing history by creating lies that will be passed down as truth. Therefore in the dystopia created in 1984, 2+2=5 will be the new truth if the government says it is so.
