Start The Violence
Black Halos Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're sick of being snubbed
Gave up on love
'Cause we've been hurt enough
We're just trying to make our way
But there's too many obstacles in our way
That there ain't no other way
We're just trying to break through
But the wall's so goddamn thick
That talking just won't do
And I say
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
The little voices they keep on calling us
The record states, it's time to turn it up
We're just trying to make our way
We keep meeting problems face to face
And there ain't no other way
We're just trying to break through
But you're all so goddamn thick
That talking just won't do
And I say
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
[Incomprehensible]
The lyrics to Black Halos's song "Start the Violence" are a call for action against the obstacles in life that prevent people from achieving their goals. The band expresses frustration with being overlooked and disregarded, as well as feeling wounded by love. Despite these difficulties, they refuse to give up on their dreams and are willing to resort to violent means to achieve their objectives. The "little voices" that keep "calling us" symbolize the urge to take action and fight for what they want, while the "record states, it's time to turn it up" implies that the time for talk is over and it's time to take tangible steps towards change.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "start the violence" several times, which can be interpreted in a few ways. On the one hand, it can be seen as a literal call to arms, urging listeners to take direct and forceful action to get what they want. Alternatively, it could be viewed as a metaphorical statement, encouraging people to shake things up and challenge the status quo in their own ways. Ultimately, the song speaks to the desire for agency and empowerment in the face of adversity and the need to break free from the constraints that hold us back.
