Okay this song is just awful. There are Christmas bells in it. This song isn't built for Christmas. He's talking about war and spacemen. So maybe if your idea of Christmas is meeting up with Martians, I mean, if you're into MST3k you've likely seen the classic Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. It's a bit like that.
So apparently this song's underlying theme is reincarnation and time travel. He comes back in an interstellar blast to save the universe and he is born again, which ties into the Christmas theme. Thom Yorke is a born-again Christian.
That's.. what this guitar solo is about. It's a very, very spiritual thing for Thom. It's how he became a car, since Thom Yorke can do anything. The ending of this song is a few bleeps and blips that hide a message of things to come: Thom Yorke is transcending into android status.
