Common Violence
Cold Coda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know what it is? look, it's faceless!
I don't know! You don't know? But it started to make sence!
Here comes violence!
Look at this! What a motion sequence!
We are engaged in business!
Carry on with a pondering silence!
You are the heating surface
You're like empty space
In sufficient time you're the art of expression
You're sentence of death but also act of grace
You are like heating surface
You're empty space
Someday it would be in past and gone to waste in silence
The day the words have been replaced by common violence
What a smart reaction!
Overstimation of words is the best attraction!
Guess we enjoyed for too long the time of balance
Here comes violence!
God bless! And don't forget this sentence!
Your brain is full of mentos
Say is it painless if the pain is flawless?
Here comes violence!
The lyrics to Cold Coda's song "Common Violence" are complex, with a number of references and ideas woven together in a way that challenges the listener to find meaning. The song opens with a series of questions, as if the singer is trying to make sense of something that is unexpected and difficult to understand. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that the subject at hand is violence - or perhaps the way that violence can be concealed or dressed up as something else.
The second verse is particularly intriguing, as it compares the subject of the song to a "heating surface" or "empty space." This could be interpreted in a number of ways - perhaps as a reference to the way that violence can be present but invisible, or to the way that we sometimes ignore or dismiss the signs of violence until it is too late. The verse goes on to suggest that the subject is both a "sentence of death" and an "act of grace" - another contradiction that underscores the complexity of violence and the ways that it can be both destructive and redemptive.
The final verse of the song is a call to action, urging listeners to recognize the ways that violence can be disguised or hidden in everyday language and behavior. The idea that "words have been replaced by common violence" suggests that we need to be vigilant in our use of language and in our interactions with others to avoid perpetuating cycles of violence.
Overall, "Common Violence" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that challenges listeners to reflect on the ways that violence can manifest in our lives and the importance of remaining aware and engaged in the struggle against it.
