 "Backdrifts (Honeymoon is Over)", is an electronic song about "the slide backwards that's happening everywhere you look." "Go to Sleep (Little Man being Erased)", begins with an acoustic guitar riff Colin Greenwood described as "1960s English sort of folk". "Where I End and You Begin (The Sky is Falling In)", is a rock song with "walls" of ondes Martenot and rhythm section influenced by 1980s band New Order. Yorke described "We Suck Young Blood (Your Time is Up)", as a "slave ship tune" with a "freeform jazz nightmare" break, and is "not to be taken seriously." With ill-timed, "zombie-like" handclaps, the song satirises Hollywood culture and its "constant desire to stay young and fleece people, suck their energy."
