Bif Naked Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Smiley, little baby snuggled in her mommy's arms.
Pray you'll always keep yer daughter
safe and free from harm.
I wish that everyone lived in a happy place
Sunshine and bright eyes on everybody's face.

Its not about me.a
Its not about you.
Its not about them or what they do.
Its not about pride its about:
We must all understand
Violence life
Its not about me.
Its not about you.
Its about life

Apathy kills anger-and this is what ya choose.
There's always gonna' be somebody who will loose.
Did ya ever stop and think about the world as is.
Life's about living, can't believe it's come to this.

Its not about me.
Its not about you.
Its not about them or what they do.
Its not about pride its about:
We must all understand
Violence life
Its not about me.
Its not about you.
Its about life

Overall Meaning

Bif Naked's song "Violence" is a powerful commentary on the tragic and senseless nature of violence in our world. The song opens with an image of a mother holding her baby, highlighting the desire for safety and protection that all parents feel. The lyrics express a wish for a world in which everyone is happy and free from harm. However, the song quickly takes a darker turn as it confronts the reality of violence and the apathy that allows it to continue. The line "Apathy kills anger-and this is what ya choose" suggests that our collective indifference to violence is just as harmful as the actions of the perpetrators themselves. The song urges listeners to think about the world as it is and to confront the truth of violence, even when it makes us uncomfortable.


The repeated refrain of "It's not about me, it's not about you, it's about life" highlights the fact that violence affects everyone, regardless of personal circumstances. It is not a problem that can be ignored or isolated to certain groups - it is a problem that affects us all. By calling attention to this fact, the song calls for a collective effort to understand and combat violence.
