I WANT TO PUT TO REST THIS WHOLE IDEA THAT THE ALBUM IS ABOUT A CLONE! Thom did say you could make that connection, but it's only an afterthought of why the title was chosen as Kid A. He initially said he likes the non-meaning of the title KID A and when you name an album so specific it creates too much of a 'this is what its about and where its going' mentality to the listener. He also said there is no story in mind. How can everyone be so stuck on a clone story when the reason he chose the title was because it had no meaning?
Every song is a seperate topic but they all do tie together in theme. he says something traumatic is happening in Kid A and he said Amnesiac is about not remembering the events that took place in kid a but slowly piecing them back together. they come from different places. the story of morning bell is that he had the demo on mini disc and it got erased and on a plane in japan 6 months later it just came to him...and that the song is about amnesia....bop on the head? where'd you park the car? it makes sense along with the album being called amnesiac. anyway...look online for the song meanings and quotes...every song has a real meaning behind it not these clone stories...1st song was about his inability to speak and being in a 3 year bad mood and when the band stared this album, everything was coming together...kid a, im still working on a meaning but its not a clone, its more about corruption and control but he says the subject matter is 'horrible and brutal'...optimistic is about how we as a society only care about ourselves and we are doomed...the whole album is strongly political, apocolyptic, personal, observational, dooming....no clones tho
The title comes from a sample of kids’ voices the band used, but later abandoned, when recording. Thom apparently also likes the idea that the album is dedicated to the first human clone. "... the idea that, somewhere, some errant scientist has already created the first completely genetically cloned baby - Kid A. I'm sure it has happened. I'm sure somewhere it has already been done, even though it's illegal now."

He lives in a box. that is what the gimp in pulp fiction is about. and the song 'oh well, okay' by elliott smith. 'an airless cell that blocks the day'
It is about a clone. 'I'll see you in the next life' in MPS is about how they killed kid A and brought out his clone to replace him.
