this is the most interesting and intriguing lyrics in the album...he said it was about a haunted house but im failing to make the connection. its definitly one of the 'words from a hat' songs...but its got meaning...kid a was the nickname of the sequencer that made the song. i heard they used a sequencer that would randomized notes in a musical fashion and this is what the cpu came up with and they improvised over it. if thats true than i believe it was just a song title that they said oh thats a cool album title. i also heard the story of the pied piper was he was gona be paid by the town gov't to play music to get rid of the rats and he wasnt compensated so he came back to town and played his flute again, this time kidnapping the children...i wonder if thom feels the same way? the govt screwing him over so hes gona use his music to rally the children (or kidnap them, he is very morbid at times) im just trying to figure out what makes this song brutal and horrible...he sed he used the vocal effect to distance himself from the words due to the b'brutual and horrible' subject matter...is he just that disgusted w/ gov't and hes slightly over exaggerating. gov't and crooked politicians (hints of these are scattered throughout the artwork of the album) would fit the lines 'slipped on a little white lie, heads on sticks (puppets) and ventriliquists (politicians or something...and i dont think heads on sticks is violent imagery like others suggest)...it seems to be about empty politicians and radiohead being the 'piepd piper' who is going to get their revenge on the town/gov't. standing in the shadows at the end of my bed....no clue...cud be BIg Brother watching you? or is this another random hat lyric referring to the haunted house...is the haunted house a metaphor? i just think its more political than anything. it cud also mean that decisions gov't is making effects how we live in our own home, but the people making changes are faceless...they are the ventriliquists...they are the shadows that are hiding within his own home...trying to instill fear... |

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 |
