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

Cut Down All the Trees And Name The Streets After Them
The Fall of Troy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What could I have said?
If you're uncomfortable, baby please tell me
Point me to the right place
Run there, if you're going, then I'm taking you away with me...
(Just because)
(Just because)
Get away from me
(Just because)
(Just because)
Did his helpless hands, take you away from this
Did it feel so good? Oh no... Yeah!?
I didn't get the feeling you had an answer
Explain yourself!!
God it feels surreal
Run there, if you're going, then I'm taking you away with me...
(Just because)
If I had my way, I'd lie to you and tell the truth, I'm joking
Get away from me
(Just because)
(Just because)
Break yourself, without a moment to
Embellish truth... Signed by you
Hear the roar, and in a second more
You'll be overboard...
Goodbye...
This is where we stand!
This is where we stand!
This is where we stand!
This is where we stand!
This is where we stand!
This is where we stand!
FORNICATE!!!
The lyrics of "Cut Down All the Trees and Name the Streets After Them" by The Fall of Troy hint at a complicated relationship between two people. The first verse suggests that one person is unhappy and the other is unsure of how to help. The chorus seems to indicate that the two have decided to run away together, but the relationship is still unstable. The second verse questions whether a third party has interfered with the relationship, leading to confusion and frustration. The song ends with a primal scream, perhaps indicating an eruption of emotion or a complete breakdown in communication.
Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of confusion and desperation in a relationship that is on the brink of collapse. The imagery of cutting down trees and naming streets after them suggests a disregard for tradition and a desire to start anew. The line "This is where we stand" repeats several times, perhaps indicating a final stand or a last-ditch effort to save the relationship.
