Me
The Violent Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Caught in the web
I couldn't bring out the dead
Flies are scattered everywhere
It's a conversation
Let's talk temptation
And tell the truth
Cause we both know
That my gaze is only for you Is it the same
For you?
Is it the same?
Cause she's not me
At all
The prophecy of lust
That disintegrates the two of us
That concubine won't ever be
Anything that I am or couldn't be
Cause she...
She's not me
Time for the consequences
A never ending liar yet no common sense yeah
Cause you
You know everything
From her name to her whisper between the bedsheets
But you
You know I'd do just about anything only for you
Is it the same
For you?
Is it the same?
Cause she's not me
At all
The prophecy of lust
That disintegrates the two of us
That concubine won't ever be
Anything that I am or couldn't be
Cause she...

She is, she is
She's not me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to The Violent's song "ME" speak to themes of resilience in the face of life's challenges. The opening lines, "Color me once, color me twice / Everything gonna turn out nice," suggest a desire for transformation and an optimism that things will work out. The lines "Everlasting arms / You gotta keep me from these false alarms" call for support and protection, and express a fear of being led astray by false alarms, or distractions from one's true path.

The chorus contains a repeated refrain of "Alarm, alarm, I see you, so sad / Ring, ring, I see you, I'm glad." The use of alarm and ring suggests a sense of urgency or warning, and the contrasting emotions of sadness and gladness speak to the complexity of the singer's emotional state. The following lines, "Maybe, maybe the fire of her desire / 'Patience, patience,' said the man / Patience, patience, I can't understand," seem to describe a conflicted desire for passion and excitement, but also a recognition of the importance of patience and restraint.

The song continues with a series of images and phrases that convey a sense of struggle and perseverance, such as "Patience like a man to a wife / I got patience on my neck like a cold, cold knife," and "Dead men working, a sinner, a saint / Mixing up a pail of paint / Painted the house, black as night / When the sun came up, the house was white." These lines suggest a recognition of the challenges of life, but also a refusal to give up or be defeated. The final lines, "Try and live life like I couldn't," suggest a desire to learn from past mistakes and live life to the fullest.
