Violet
Courtney Love / The Hole Lyrics

And the sky was made of amethyst
The sky was a beautiful and unique color, reminiscent of the gemstone amethyst.

And all the stars were just like little fish
The stars were numerous and seemed to be swimming in the sky, like fish in the ocean.

You should learn when to go
It's important to know when to leave a situation or relationship, to avoid any negative consequences.

You should learn how to say no
It's important to be able to set boundaries and say no when needed, in order to take care of oneself and avoid being taken advantage of.

Might last a day, yeah
Some things, like temporary pleasures, may only last a short time.

Mine is forever
The singer's desires and passions are long-lasting and will not fade away easily.

When they get what they want, and they never want it again
Some people are fickle and move on quickly to the next desire, even after getting what they thought they wanted.

Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
The singer is inviting someone to take everything from her, possibly because she feels she has already lost everything or is trying to let go of attachments.

And the sky was all violet
The sky has become even more intense, violent, and perhaps even ominous or threatening.

I want it again, but violent, more violent
The singer desires something again, but with a more intense and destructive energy, reflecting her own inner turmoil and pain.

Yeah, I'm the one with no soul
The singer feels empty, devoid of a soul or a sense of purpose or meaning in life.

One above and one below
The singer may be referring to a sense of duality within herself, with conflicting emotions or impulses that are pulling her in different directions.

When they get what they want, and they never want it again
Repeated from earlier; some people are unsatisfied and always move on to the next thing, despite getting what they thought they wanted.

Go on, take everything, take everything, I dare you to
The singer is now daring someone to take everything from her, possibly to prove a point or to test her own limits.

I told you from the start just how this would end
The singer had warned someone about the eventual outcome of their relationship or interaction.

When I get what I want, then I never want it again
The singer realizes that she is also guilty of this behavior, where she loses interest in something once she has obtained it.

It's my lie, you're mine, you're mine
This line is open to interpretation, but it could suggest a possessive or controlling relationship dynamic, where one person is lying to the other and they are both trapped in the situation.

Go on, take everything, take everything
Repeated from earlier; the singer is willing to let go of everything and start fresh.

Take everything, take everything
The singer is emphasizing her willingness to let go of everything and start anew, possibly as a way to escape the pain and chaos of her current situation.
