Violet is known for her trademark colorful hair, and array of large-frame glasses worn in her videos. She is sometimes referred to as a geek-girl for having an interest in Digimon, Star Wars, Star Trek, Harry Potter, and The Legend of Zelda. She started vlogging in 2007 for a school project and began to do so daily when she traveled to Hong Kong and Thailand as a fashion model.
Tennessee
Tessa Violet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
guitar strings and
everything when
I hear you sing.
Summer walks and
skipping rocks and
how he talks
'bout my blue Reeboks.
Down an old dirt road where
there's nowhere to go but
into you, into you.
By the willow tree where
it's just you and me, we'll say,
"I love you," "I love you too."
Meet me in memory in Tennessee,
where the sky is filled with stars,
and your heart is filled with me.
Heat meets the night and your kiss with me.
You'll always have my heart in Tennessee.
We'll take to feet and we'll
race up the street. I will
call you a cheat
for beatin' me out.
No need for coats when it's
never cold, but I
want you to know
I will still hold you close.
Where cicadas buzz and
we are so in love and
every star shines for you.
Where the city sleeps and
you are mine to keep and
"I love you," "I love you too."
Meet me in memory in Tennessee,
where the sky is filled with stars,
and your heart is filled with me.
Heat meets the night and your kiss with me.
You'll always have my heart in Tennessee.
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo
Oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-oo
A-aa-oh-wao-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Ohhhh
Meet me in memory in Tennessee,
where the sky is filled with stars,
and your heart is filled with me.
Heat meets the night and your kiss with me.
You'll always have my heart in Tennessee.
In Tessa Violet's song Tennessee, the lyrics paint a picture of young love and summer adventures. The imagery of "summer things and guitar strings" evokes a carefree and romantic mood, further reinforced by the mention of skipping rocks and a playful race up the street. The singer shares a special bond with her love interest, as seen by the line "where it's just you and me, we'll say 'I love you,' 'I love you too'" and the affectionate moments captured by the lyrics. The setting of the song is crucial, as the memories made by the couple are immortalized in Tennessee, where "the sky is filled with stars, and your heart is filled with me."
Overall, the song is about holding onto memories and finding comfort in them. The nostalgic tone in the chorus is a reminder of the fleeting nature of summer love, but also a testament to the power of memories to endure. The cyclical structure of the song, with the repeated chorus and the return to Tennessee, reinforces the theme of holding onto the past.
