On February 26, 2010, Thomas announced that the band were parting ways following their upcoming "The Marked Men of 2010" tour. Between 2010 and 2013, he formed Just Like Vinyl and joined Chiodos. Andrew Forsman also joined The Monday Mornings, and Frank Black joined Chineke.
The original lineup of The Fall of Troy reunited for three nights in December 2013 in Austin, Texas. Each night, the band performed one of its first three albums (The Fall of Troy, Doppelgänger and Manipulator) in its entirety. During the VIP reunion show, the band announced they would continue making music in 2014 by releasing a free album.
The new album, titled OK, was self-released on April 20th, 2016 (three weeks after its formal announcement) through the band's website for a pay what you want model, in addition to a vinyl release.
As a followup, on May 20th, 2016, the band released an alternate mix of OK simply titled OK #2, which bears more resemblance to their earlier material and production sound. "OK#2 represents a different version of us; the raw fury you hear at our shows and our earlier albums." The band later released instrumental versions of both mixes, entitled OK #3.1 and OK #3.2

A Classic Case of Transference
The Fall of Troy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And ran your dirty mouth
Spouting out anecdotes of nastiness
And then indulged yourself
Attracting onto anyone that listens
Well, you're the one who's fucked up
I won't pretend to be your friend
Ever again
Get me off, then get off me
I've had enough of you
Your name, your frame are nothing new
I don't know who you think that you are
You've turned into a whore
We can take this to the floor again
I know that you're spent
But we're not finished yet
I've got my own life to transcend
You make everyone look like
They're wrong, and you're always right
But at night you sleep alone
And I know your bed is cold
Though you don't say so
Maybe lately I can't
Wait to get away from you
And your negativity
So get me off, then get off me
I've had enough of you
Your name, your frame are nothing new
I don't know who you think that you are
You've turned into a whore
We can take this to the floor again
I know that you're spent
But we're not finished yet
I've got my own heart to transcend
So catch me if you can
If I could say one thing
I'd probably have a conniption fit
Villainize me for standing up to you
If I could say one thing
You'd probably have a conniption fit
And villainize me for standing up to you
I don't know who you think that you are
You've turned into a whore
We can take this to the floor again
I know we've just met
But we're going to bed
I've got my own shit to transcend
So catch me if you can
You can
You can
The lyrics of "A Classic Case of Transference" by The Fall of Troy seem to be about a person who disrupts the singer's life, causing them to become fed up and wanting to distance themselves from this person. The song begins with the singer stating that everything was fine until this person came along and started spouting negativity and stories of nastiness. The singer doesn't appreciate this behavior and accuses the person of having problems, stating that they won't pretend to be their friend anymore.
The chorus has a harsher tone, with the singer telling the person to "get me off, then get off me," indicating that they don't want anything to do with them. The singer criticizes the person's attitude and behavior, calling them a whore, and suggests that they've been physical in the past ("we can take this to the floor again"). However, they also seem to acknowledge that they're not finished with this person and have their own life to transcend, which could imply some sort of unresolved conflict or complicated relationship.
There seems to be a sense of frustration and confusion throughout the song, with the singer unsure of who this person really is and describing the negativity they bring into their life. The final lines, "if I could say one thing... catch me if you can," suggest that the singer is ready to move on from this person, but also willing to stand up for themselves if necessary.
Line by Line Meaning
Everything was right until you came in
Things were good before you showed up
And ran your dirty mouth
And started saying awful things
Spouting out anecdotes of nastiness
Sharing unpleasant stories
And then indulged yourself
And kept going with it
Attracting onto anyone that listens
Getting others involved
Well, you're the one who's fucked up
You're the problem
I won't pretend to be your friend
I won't act like we're cool
Ever again
From now on
Get me off, then get off me
Leave me alone
I've had enough of you
I'm done with you
Your name, your frame are nothing new
You're not special
I don't know who you think that you are
I don't understand your attitude
You've turned into a whore
You've become a terrible person
We can take this to the floor again
We can fight if you want
I know that you're spent
I know you're tired
But we're not finished yet
We're not done here
I've got my own life to transcend
I'm moving on
You make everyone look like
You make everyone seem
They're wrong, and you're always right
Like they're dumb and you're smart
But at night you sleep alone
You're lonely
And I know your bed is cold
You're miserable
Though you don't say so
Even though you won't admit it
Maybe lately I can't
These days I can't
Wait to get away from you
Wait to be away from you
And your negativity
And your bad attitude
If I could say one thing
If I could tell you
I'd probably have a conniption fit
You'd be so mad
Villainize me for standing up to you
Blame me for speaking my mind
I don't know we've just met
I know we're new
But we're going to bed
But we're sleeping together
I've got my own shit to transcend
I have my own issues to deal with
So catch me if you can
Try to keep up
You can
You have no chance
