Lyrics Exit Music

Exit Music (For a Film) by Radiohead was written specifically for the closing credits of the 1996 film Romeo + Juliet. Although inspired by the film, the song carries a broader and deeper meaning, reflecting themes of despair, escape, and criticism of authority. The song is also noted for its sharp dynamic shift, moving from a serene beginning to an intense climax. 

wake from your sleep, the drying of your tears,
today we escape, we escape
pack and get dressed, before your father hears us,
before all hell breaks loose

breathe, keep breathing
don't lose your nerve
breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone

Sing us a song, a song to keep us warm
there's sucha chill, sucha chill

And you can laugh, a spineless laugh, we hope your rules and
wisdom choke you

And now we are one, in everlasting peace,
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
