Violent Love
Riotous Affections: Unraveling Love's Turmoil
Lyrics
She said how have you been
Asking about the person's well-being
I've been keeping up
Confirming that they have been keeping up
Where have you been
Questioning the person's whereabouts
You don't keep in touch
Expressing a lack of communication
Hold your head
Encouraging resilience and strength
Baby keep it up
Urging the person to persevere
You're the gun on my hip
Describing the person as a protective force
I'ma keep it tucked
Committing to keeping emotions guarded
Inside my heart, there's a riot
Indicating internal turmoil and unrest
Violent, violent love
Describing an intense, passionate love
Violent, violence
Highlighting the intensity of the love
I just need my peace
Expressing a desire for tranquility
Be quiet, silence
Emphasizing the need for silence
Why the fuck is love so violent, violent
Questioning the nature of love and its intensity
Inside my heart there's a riot, violence
Reiterating internal turmoil and violence
See the pain under my eyelids, I can't hide it
Acknowledging visible pain and vulnerability
Inside my heart, there's a riot
Repeating the theme of inner conflict
Violent, violent love
Reaffirming the intense, passionate love
Violent, violence
Repeating the emphasis on love's intensity
You're like the city lights keeping me up at night
Comparing the person to city lights, keeping the speaker awake
You're like the ceiling fan cooling me down
Comparing the person to a cooling presence
Hope you think about hitting me up tonight
Expressing hope for a connection later
Shit got better since you've been around
Noting improvement since the person's presence
We make love, but it don't make sense
Acknowledging a physical connection, but questioning its meaning
Real love doesn't feel like this
Challenging the authenticity of the love experienced
And if it does, then I don't wanna feel it
Expressing a reluctance to feel a love that causes pain
I got battle scars, don't think you can heal 'em
Referring to emotional scars that may not be easily healed
She said how have you been
Repeating the inquiry about the person's well-being
I've been keeping up
Reiterating that the speaker is keeping up
Where have you been
Repeating the question about the person's whereabouts
You don't keep in touch
Reiterating the lack of communication
Hold your head
Encouraging resilience and strength (repeated)
Baby keep it up
Urging the person to persevere (repeated)
You're the gun on my hip
Describing the person as a protective force (repeated)
I'ma keep it tucked
Committing to keeping emotions guarded (repeated)
Inside my heart, there's a riot
Indicating internal turmoil and unrest (repeated)
Violent, violent love
Reaffirming the intense, passionate love (repeated)
Violent, violence
Repeating the emphasis on love's intensity (repeated)
I just need my peace
Expressing a desire for tranquility (repeated)
Be quiet, silence
Emphasizing the need for silence (repeated)
Why the fuck is love so violent, violent
Questioning the nature of love and its intensity (repeated)
Inside my heart there's a riot, violence
Reiterating internal turmoil and violence (repeated)
See the pain under my eyelids, I can't hide it
Acknowledging visible pain and vulnerability (repeated)
Inside my heart, there's a riot
Repeating the theme of inner conflict (repeated)
Violent, violent love
Reaffirming the intense, passionate love (repeated)
