Since K Got Over Me

Juliet
I get on my knees
Speaking in tongues
Of washed out sun and
Perfect clarity
Well I get so delerious
I think myself to sleep
Standing on the sidewalk
Sometimes it's with him

I don't think I'll be happy anyway
Just scratching out my name
And everything so loosy
And so creepy
Since K got over me
Since K got over me

All my senses shot
My hands are fixed
I'm really tired of making lists
It's just this emptiness
I can't chase it away
And when the evening paints the streets
When the evening paints the streets
It's like walking on a trampoline

I don't think I'll be happy anyway
Just scratching out my name
But everythings so livid
And so creepy
Since k got over me
Since k got over me

Theres a hope inside my skull
With warm air blowing in
Standing on the sidewalk
Where do I begin?

I dont think I'll be happy anymore
I guess I closed that door
But everynight a strange geometry
Since K got over me
Since K got over me

Year: 2005

    here's what i've been wondering: IS THIS SONG ABOUT A GIRL AT ALL? or is it a terribly clever description of a k-hole? witness:

    "everything's so vivid and so creepy" "there's a hole inside my skull" "every night, a strange geometry"

    First: "speaking in tongues" is a reference to the difficulty not only in describing a k-hole but in the physical act of speaking whilst embroiled in one.

    "when the evening paints the streets, it's like walking on a trampoline." this is a possible reference to the feeling of "lightness" which accompanies the onset of a ketamine trip. And if you were taking it before going to a club or party (not necessarily wise, but hey--it's not unheard of), the nature of a k-trip (a couple of hours long, with the "light" feeling and collateral effects lasting, sometimes, into the next day) would suggest that you take it "when the evening paints the streets."

    "All my senses sharp, my hands are fists" Not technically correct, as ketamine dulls taste and smell, but touch, sensitivity to sound (though not necessarily appreciation for it), and vision are all heightened dramatically.

    "It's just this emptiness, I can't chase it away"... why do you think it's called a k-hole? Same for "There's a hole inside my head..." though this line is, admittedly, cribbed from some murderess or other's description of her mental instability.

    The clincher is the line "but every night, a strange geometry," which is such an obvious description of "vitamin K"'s effect as to be unmistakeable. Users frequently describe seeing, in low light (thus, "every NIGHT"), intense and intricate geometric patterns resolving and dissolving before their eyes. Yes, Alasdair, I can only imagine things WOULD be pretty vivid and creepy once K "got over you."

    Nice theory Owen. But unfortunately, i live really near this band (often in my local pub) in west london, and almost no one does ketamine in london. It just isn't done. That doesn't rule out the drug reference, but if you met these guys you might be a little doubtful of your theory, as they're lovely, but far too St Martin's for ketamine.

    this is totally a song of heartbreak, and the feelings that come afterwards. 'it's just this emptiness / i can't keep it away.' 'i don't think i'll be happy anyway.' this song is awesome.

    I agree, beautiful song, does anyone have any thoughts on the use of "K" in place of a name?

    you could apply it to drugs, but it could also be about a woman, K. i listen to the song and it sounds exactly like the feeling of that, someone getting over you when you arent over them.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
