What is the meaning of this name? Is it like politics that just sounds cooler that way? I have looked it up, but can find it in that spelling. Anyone who knows?

I heard somewhere they spelled it with a k just to make it a bit different and stand out a bit more. I dunno. I think it's cool and it's a brilliant song! :-D

I hated Politik with a passion when I first heard it but it;s grown on me now. :D

Still hate A Whisper.

Yeah, Politik is way better than Politic. God knows why...

I think 'Politik' is better than 'Politic' because of the crisp 'K', you can get away without pronouncing 'Politic' correctly because of the 'mundayne - c' if you see a 'K' you will always pronounce that letter clearly and correctly, there's no other way of pronouncing it, and so it emphasises the title more clearly :D *philosophical head on*

or am i just talking Krap?! :P

ok, so maybe its just like politic.. but i still dont get it. "tell me your own politik"??? i thought it might mean tell me what you believe in or what you want. any ideas?
i love the song so i am going to use the song for my english assignment but i dont even know what the title means. i dont think i can use it if i dont even know what it means.

i agree with you, it sounds like politic, does anyhing change to write K not C?, certainly there is something in this writing but what? it's interesting:)

Is that true? Do you have a source?

While its not really a source, I have heard it in other places, If you goto Musewiki and search Coldplay, there it says something about Matt helping produce the piano bits on Politik.

On a different note, has anyone else noticed that when spelled the right way, politic looks spelled incorrectly ever since you have heard the song? It drives me insane, I always get points knocked of my papers in government for spelling, Im just so used to the k. It sounds so stupid, but its just one of those things you do absent-mindedly.

^ I agree, Mandy.

politic- wrong
politics- right
politik-right on.

Anyway, that's what goes through my head when I see those words. :laugh3:


And Tom, maybe you should put your concern in the Ask Chris Martin topic.

You're right... ever since the song Politik that spelling has always seemed right.... rather than "politic" :freak:

Hasn't anybody ever considered that it's "Tell me you're a politik????"


"Tell me your own Politik" ??? I mean what??

"Tell me your politik" makes some sense. It could be a way of asking "Tell me what you believe, from what angle are you coming from?"

What sense does "Tell me you are a politik" mean?
