Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes you wanna party
Wanna break up
Baby, it's violence, violence
Baby, it's violence
But you can't see what I see
You can't see what I see
You feed off hurting me, hurting me, yeah, ha
I'm like begging for it, baby
Makes you wanna party, wanna wake up
Baby, it's violence, violence
Baby, it's violence
But you can't see what I see
You can't see what I see
Cause you, ha, ha
You feed off hurting me, off hurting me
Yeah, ha
You wanna make me bad
Make me bad
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna make me bad, pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
I'm like begging for it, baby
Makes you wanna party, wanna wake up
Baby, it's violence, violence
Baby, it's violence
But you can't see what I see
You can't see what I see
'Cause you, ha, ha
You feed off hurting me, off hurting me, oh, me, oh, me
You wanna make me bad, make me bad
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna paint me bad, pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
You wanna make me bad, make me bad
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna paint me bad, pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
You wanna, make me, make me, make me, make me, make me
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
You wanna pay me, pay me, pay me back, pay me back
Said, "I like it like that," said, "I like it like that"
(Me, oh, me, oh, me, oh, me, oh, me, oh)
And I like it like that, and I like it like that
(Me, oh, me, oh, me, oh, me, oh, me, oh)
And I like it like that
The lyrics of "Violence" by Grimes and i_o are about a toxic and violent relationship where the singer begs for her partner's abuse. She explains how her partner enjoys hurting her, and it makes her feel alive. The lyrics imply that the singer is aware of the unhealthy nature of the relationship but cannot help but enjoy the violence. The chorus repeats the phrase "Baby, it's violence," emphasizing the theme of violence in the relationship.
The line "But you can't see what I see" suggests that the singer has a unique perspective on the relationship that her partner cannot understand. She acknowledges that her partner feeds off her pain, implying that she is aware he is using her for his own pleasure. The melody and beat of the song are upbeat and high-energy, which contrasts with the darker lyrics of the song.
Overall, "Violence" is about the complexities of toxic relationships and how some people find pleasure in violence, even though they know it is not healthy. It highlights the idea of being trapped in a situation that is both harmful and addictive.
