Violence
Ocean Jet Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every day I see the violence,
Every rough night turns me on
I believe in no better,
I just take whatever I want

I never take a step backwards,
Never leave, just moving on
Every day I seed the violence,
On and on.

Whatever it takes,
I′m fighting for
This miserable place
That I've named my home.

Whatever it takes,
I′d give myself
For this horrid place
That I say I know!

Every day is a drama,
Every night's a bloody storm
I'm king in the ghetto,
I just take whatever I want

I never take a step backwards,
Never leave, just moving on
Every day I seed the violence,
On and on

Whatever it takes,
I′m fighting for
This miserable place
That I′ve named my home.

Whatever it takes,
I'd give myself




For this horrid place
That I say I know!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ocean Jet's song "Violence" suggest a complex narrative of a character who is addicted to the adrenaline of violence and aggression. The opening line, "Every day I see the violence," sets the tone for the song and establishes that this character is surrounded by conflict and danger on a daily basis. The next line, "Every rough night turns me on," suggests that the character is not repulsed by violence but rather energized by it, finding excitement and arousal in the midst of chaos.


The chorus contains the repeated line "Whatever it takes, I'm fighting for this miserable place that I've named my home." This implies that the character is not only drawn to violence but also feels a fierce loyalty to the place where it occurs, perhaps a rough and impoverished neighborhood where survival is a constant struggle. The line "I just take whatever I want" reinforces the idea that this character is a predator, constantly seeking to dominate and take control.


The second verse repeats the themes of the first, with lines such as "Every day is a drama, every night's a bloody storm" further emphasizing the intensity and danger of the character's surroundings. The line "I'm king in the ghetto" suggests that the character has achieved a position of power or influence within their community, but it comes at the cost of perpetuating violence.


Overall, "Violence" is a powerful and unflinching exploration of the psychological and social factors that can drive individuals to engage in and perpetuate violence in their communities.
