Violet
Peach Tree Rascals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't, don't fall asleep
I'll be okay, just give me a week
Losin' my feet, losin' my dreams
I've been OT, not OTC
Please let me speak, please let me go
I'll let you fly, all on your own
You don't rely on me no more
It's just a sign, I guess I'll go
Don't, don't fall asleep
I'll be okay, just give me a week
Losin' my feet, losin' my dreams
I've been OT, not OTC
Please let me speak, please let me go
I'll let you fly, all on your own
You don't rely on me no more
It's just a sign, I guess I'll go

I did nothing wrong, I've been writing songs
I've been stuck in ways, I've been holdin' on
I think it's time I let you go, Cuz I've been holdin' on and waiting for too long
And I don't know if I can take this
Get up in the morning, I'm feelin pretty low
I grab coffee and a cigarette then its time to hit the road
I've been spending all my time dreamin, about the one I want
In a world of my own, I cant leave the thought alone

Lately I feel like, I've lost myself and I cannot deny
The changes that I've
Lately I feel like, I've lost myself and I cannot deny
The changes that I've

Lately I've been, falling back in silence
My heart just stopped providing, said that's enough for me
I lost the point in trying, I'm living under trees
I've grown numb to lovin', now I'm numb you see
I forgot about you, but you remember me
Still remember 'bout us, and all our history
I can't take the thought of, you up and out my mind
You're stuck inside my head, now I think it's time

I think its time I let you go
'Cuz I've been holdin on and waitin for too long
And I don't know if I can take this

Shoulda cast away, I've been evading you
At times like this I wish I could have shut the door on you
I know it hurts to stay, the bells don't ring the same
You said you love me but don't trust me that I'll do the same
I'm running away, need to vacate
Away from this place, don't hate me
I'm losing my faith, the birds flew away
My heart ain't the same, don't hate me
No words to say, I'm washing away
Just like a stain, don't hate me
Letting you go, can't fight it no more
I'll be alone, don't hate me

Inside my dreams, I can see you with me
If I wake up too soon I'll fall right back asleep
Inside my dreams, I can see you with me
If I wake up too soon I'll fall right back asleep
Inside my dreams, I can see you with me
If I wake up too soon I'll fall right back asleep




Inside my dreams, I can see you with me
If I wake up too soon I'll fall right back asleep

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Peach Tree Rascals’ song “Violet” explore the themes of losing oneself, letting go, and moving on from a relationship. The opening line, “Don’t, don’t fall asleep,” sets the tone for a plea to be heard and acknowledged. The singer is struggling to find their footing, both in terms of their physical and emotional well-being, and is asking for just a little time to get back on track.


As the chorus repeats throughout the song, the singer is losing their grip on reality and on their dreams, feeling disconnected from their partner who “doesn’t rely on [them] no more.” They acknowledge the need to let go, and the pain that comes with it. This is underscored by the lines, “I’ve been holding on and waiting for too long, and I don’t know if I can take this.”


The bridge of the song highlights the singer’s feelings of numbness and isolation, as they retreat into their own world and away from their partner. The final lines, “If I wake up too soon I’ll fall right back asleep,” encapsulate the ongoing battle between holding onto the past and moving forward.


Overall, “Violet” is a poignant representation of the struggles of letting go of a relationship and the challenges of losing oneself in the process.
