I listened to pretty much the entirety of Radiohead’s discography (aside from each member’s solo work) and this song, even among the many other amazing songs in OK Computer, is one of the most sentimental songs they’ve ever written.
The privileged walk on you, spit on you, and ignore your calls for help. So you remain silent. In hopes for a better future. One day you’ll grow wings, and leave from the mess you’re stuck in. That’s what we all hope.

How it builds to that release after 3:25... Even after 20 years, it never fails to give me goose bumps.

[Verse 1]
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so, so disappointing
[Chorus]
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
[Verse 2]
Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
[Pre-Chorus]
One day I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and
[Chorus]
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
[Bridge]
Let down again
Let down again
Let down again
[Verse 3]
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
[Pre-Chorus]
And one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
(You know where you are)
Hysterical and useless
(You know where you are)
Hysterical and
(You know where you are)
[Chorus]
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

3:40 onwards is probs my favorite part of any song in existence. The warm guitars and drums flow so well and thom’s voice is heavenly. I could play that on repeat all day

Let down and Paranoid Android are by far the best songs from this album, and that's for two reasons.
The message behind them became true, more than any sane person would ever wish they would have.
They connect with not just me, but with tens to hundreds of thousands VERY deeply throughout the world.

The vocal harmonies toward the end of the song are absolutely stellar.
