Guitar lines whip up storms of nostalgia, nodding their heads in the direction of early nineties American rock, but the band's own take on the brash melodies set them aside from similar acts gracing our airwaves and being unwillingly forced down our throats. Citing their influences as the likes of The Posies to The Afghan Whigs to Kyuss, it's still fair to say that SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE have their own thing going on. The jagged music, jarred tones and messy-together sound they produce gratefully infects your very consciousness.
The difficulty they found in pursuing their musical dreams in and around the small town of Ängelholm, Sweden made them ever stronger, solidified their friendship and led to their pushing themselves and their music harder and harder. Rather than fleeing to the brighter lights and wider opportunities available in Stockholm, the band stuck to their roots and knuckled down in order to get their show quite literally on the road. Sticksman Daniel T. professes that SOUNDS LIKE VIOLENCE will “tour like idiots, everywhere and always,” so it shouldn't be too long before they're treating you in a nearby setting. These are the boys that will no doubt make hardcore and punk kids strut the dance floor with a new grace and style. - Emily Kearns

Glad I'm Losing You
Sounds Like Violence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Had no time to
Care about it,
I had no options,
Kept my mouth shut,
I spend my days
Solving problems,
I got ten thousand
The time is never right,
Never have had the time
To bright up my life,
Now i'm losing you,
But maybe i just
Blame it on the time
That i can't give you,
I remember times when
I was hooked on you too,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
Bit by bit and it feels so good,
I was thinking
'bout it when i
Hit the side walk,
I've been picking on you,
'cause i dislike you,
I know you're gorgeous,
But i'm tired of
Your sweet talk,
You have always
Told me that
Your heart is made of gold,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,
Bit by bit
And it feels so good,
You smell nor taste
As good as before,
Don't come back baby,
Don't you come back,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
I'm losing you,
I'm losing you,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
Bit by bit and it feels so good,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
I'm losing you, i'm losing you,
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah,
Bit by bit and it feels so
good.
In "Glad I'm Losing You," Sounds Like Violence creates a song that is both emotionally intense and musically dynamic. The lyrics speak of a relationship that is falling apart, with the singer acknowledging that he's losing his partner but feeling a sense of relief and freedom as a result. He talks about the day to day problems that keep him occupied and prevent him from being fully present in the relationship, and how he's come to resent his partner despite her beauty and charm. He seems to be bracing himself for the inevitable end of the relationship, telling himself not to come back and reveling in the sense of release that he feels as he lets go of someone who was once so important to him. The chorus is full of raw emotion as the singer sings "I'm losing you, bit by bit and it feels so good." The melody is haunting and melancholic, with the piano line weaving its way through the song like a thread.
One of the things that makes this song so compelling is its ambiguity - it's not entirely clear whether the singer is trying to convince himself that he's better off without his partner, or whether he genuinely feels liberated by the end of the relationship. There's a sense of conflict and tension that runs throughout the song, as the singer grapples with his feelings and tries to come to terms with the impending breakup.

Bit by bit and it feels so good,
Slowly losing you is actually a pleasant feeling.
