In 2000, Darling Violetta released The Kill You EP, and in 2003, the album Parlour.
In 2005, the band composed an extended version of the Angel theme called "The Sanctuary Extended Remix", featured on the soundtrack of the series Live Fast - Die Never.
The style of the band is recognizable for the voice of singer Cami Elen (compared by some critics to that of PJ Harvey), the use of cello and violin, specially in their early compositions, and lyrics charged with sexual innuendos, dark metaphors and goth references.
Darling Violetta also wrote and produced a song for Activision for their game, "Vampire: the Masquerade - Redemption", titled "I Want to Kill You". The meaning of the song has been debated since its release, but most people tend to agree the song is about a ghoul missing her vampiric master. They also wrote another song for the Masquerade Universe which was in "Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines" entitled "Smaller God".
Darling Violetta have their own website at http://www.darlingvioletta.com and are currently working on their Fourth Album along with a DVD.
Over You
Darling Violetta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Brush the hair away from your eyes
The water takes you there
You run, but you don't hide
You wait for an excuse
To sleep away your revolution
You might as well give up
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
What if one day you knew
The secrets of the universe and
Your breath became divine
You're an omnipresent man
No need for alibis
You'd die to live another lifetime
How is the lilac wine
Over there on the other side
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
Look around outside your bubble
Look into these eyes and then say you don't know
Don't speak, not another word now
Look into these eyes and then say you don't
You wanna go down slow
You wanna go down, be on your way
You gotta go down slow
No, no, no, no, no, no
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
I won't get over you this time
The lyrics of "Over You" by Darling Violetta suggest a sense of longing, regret and possibly heartbreak. The first stanza seems to suggest that the singer is imagining the presence of someone who is no longer with them. Despite their absence, the singer can still feel this person's presence, as if they are there in the room with them. The second stanza talks about waiting for an excuse to "sleep away your revolution," suggesting a desire to escape or forget the pain of a broken heart. The line "Ever after's begun" may imply that the singer has come to terms with the fact that things have ended and that they must move on.
The chorus repeats the line "I won't get over you this time" four times, emphasizing the depth of the singer's emotions and suggesting that this isn't their first heartbreak. The third stanza takes a more metaphysical turn, talking about knowing the secrets of the universe and becoming "omnipresent." This could suggest that the singer feels they have gained a deeper understanding of life and love in the wake of their heartbreak. The final stanza urges the listener to look beyond their own perspective and acknowledge the pain of others.
Overall, "Over You" by Darling Violetta is a melancholy song that explores the depths of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. The repeated chorus emphasizes the singer's determination to overcome their pain, despite the difficult road ahead.
