The song "15 Step" by Radiohead is about the feeling of futility and being stuck in a loop of seemingly endless mistakes and disappointments. The lyrics reference the idea that no matter what we do, we seem to end up where we started. The singer suggests that if we take our eyes off the "ball" for just a moment, the cycle of history repeats itself with the proverbial string getting cut and the singer once again back at the beginning. This can be an incredibly frustrating experience, being aware that the same mistake could be made again and feeling like there is no progress being made. In the end, the singer is asking why this cycle of futility continues and how it can be broken.
