Lyrics + Interpretation (Further)

You and Whose Army? By Radiohead

Come on, Come on
You think you’ll drive me crazy, well
Come on, Come on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
Come on, Come on
Holy Roman Empire
Come on if you think, Come on if you think
You can take us, on
You can take us, on
You and whose army?
You and your cronies
You forget so easy

We ride tonight
We ride tonight
Ghost horses, Ghost horses
We ride tonight
We ride tonight
Ghost horses, Ghost horses
Ghost horses, Ghost horses

These lyrics can be interpreted in many ways, as the 'army' theory could be takenly literally or metaphorically. However, we have decided to take the lyrics metaphorically and symbolically, and relate it to the idea of schizophrenia. 
We feel that the person speaking/writing is struggling with their own mind; 'you think you'll drive me crazy', and 'you and whose army?' both represent this. It is the idea that a person is trying to overcome their inner thoughts that are attempting to take over, and we think this would be a good idea to work with in a video.
