“Just” is a single from Radiohead’s second album, The Bends.

The song’s subject matter is traditional Radiohead fare: the depression, self-loathing, and alienation that modern life brings. Its protagonist speaks of paranoia driving him from society, almost to the “purest hell,” and blames himself for it.

The song was written about a narcissistic friend of Thom Yorke’s that was pissing him off, and it developed musically out of a contest with Jonny Greenwood and Thom to see who could fit the most chords into a song.
