Violet Lyrics

And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say no

Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever

When they get what they want, and they never want it again
And they get what they want, and they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to

And the sky was all violet
I want it again, but violent, more violent
Yeah, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below

Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever

When they get what they want, and they never want it again
When they get what they want, and they never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I dare you to

I told you from the start just how this would end
When I get what I want, then I never want it again
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
It's my lie, you're mine, you're mine

Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything
Take everything, take everything

What is the Meaning of Violet?

This audacious anthem from Hole is a raw, unfiltered confrontation of desire and disillusionment. The lyrics paint a picture of a volatile relationship where the allure fades as soon as the chase ends - a classic case of wanting what you can't have until you have it. The repeated plea to "take everything" suggests a desperate need for validation through self-destruction, while the amethyst sky and little fish stars create an atmosphere of surreal escapism. It's an emotional rollercoaster ride that leaves you breathless and somewhat enlightened about the capricious nature of human wants. #DesireDisillusionment #EmotionalRollercoaster
