I could have spent hours on Creep, looking at every last line and how each was a very complex expression of feeling and thought. My first reaction, and what will eventually be a strong critcism, is that the imagery and themes in "Faceless Man" are so obvious as to be insulting. It's like Robert Frost minus the poetry. I don't want to name-drop too much, but this challenge reminds me of something that James Joyce once said to an interviewer regarding his book "Finnegan's Wake." When asked why the book was so impossible to read, Joyce replied "Well, it took me seventeen years to write it...it ought to take someone seventeen years to read it!" I've always thought that was a hilarious reply. But his words reveal something else of paramount importance. Very few things in good art are obvious...as with the Radiohead lyrics.
