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

Sounds Like Violence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you got a perfect wife
you got it all made up
cause you got this perfect plan
how does it feel to be perfect in everything you do?
how does it feel to be perfect in everything you do?
In Sounds Like Violence's song Perfect, the lyrics describe a person who seemingly has everything going for them. They have a perfect life, a perfect wife, and a perfect plan. The singer then questions how it feels to be perfect in everything someone does. The tone of the lyrics seems to be one of frustration towards the idea of perfection and how it can create an unattainable standard.
The lyrics suggest that the person being described has achieved a certain level of success and happiness, but it is also implied that this perfection may be superficial. They may have everything they want on the surface, but the song implies that there is more to life than just achieving perfection. The question of how it feels to be perfect in everything is a rhetorical one, suggesting that perfection is not something that can truly be achieved.
The song seems to be commenting on the pressures of society to be perfect and the problems that can arise from striving for a standard that is impossible to reach. It is a reflection on the idea that true happiness and contentment may come from accepting imperfections and finding meaning in the ordinary aspects of life.
