He reuses the verse melody from the previous album's "Dirty Little Religion", the topics of the verses are all over the place, and he packs too many words into one line (goes to show...) and too few in another (it's pretty hard to find), and rhymes "Henley Regatta" with "Persona non grata", but gets away with it all as only he could.
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

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere.
In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
I always thought this song was about Ketamine and depression too. It can totally mean more than that, but I think there's where it comes from.
@fishmasta This from popmatters.com: "And while on the topic of mind-altering drugs: When I spoke to singer Alasdair Maclean as the Clientele traveled in a van from Cleveland to New York in a heavy snowstorm, one of the things that I asked him was if the songs “Since K Got Over Me” and “K” from the band’s new album, Strange Gemoetry, were influenced by the very-mind-altering drug ketamine, whose street name is “K.”<br /> <br /> Maclean laughed in response. Then, our cell phones disconnected."<br /> <br /> popmatters.com/feature/clientele-060127/
