Lyrics for Violence as interpreted by BrandNew1208

Violence Lyrics
Six bottles went down the drain
One hour's a waste of time
I'd ask if you feel the same
Still pushing that chance to try
Your breath in this cool room chill
Long hair that blows side to side
You speak and make time stand still
And each time you walk right on by

Like violence
You have me
Forever and after
Like violence
You kill me
Forever and after

Can't count all the eyes that stare
Can't count all the things they see
She kills when the life despair
Just victims are left to bleed
One drink and the pain goes down
Soft shadows lay by her feet
Lay soft as you slowly drown
Lay still as you fall asleep

Like violence
You have me
Forever and after
Like violence
You kill me
Forever and after

Like violence
You have me
Forever and after
Like violence
You kill me
Like violence
You have me
Forever and after
Like violence
You kill me
Like violence
Like violence

Like violence
You have me
Forever and after
Like violence
You kill me
Forever and after
Like violence
You have me
Forever and after
Like violence
You kill me
Forever and after

this song is WAY too much like refused "blind date" with the whole percusion/vocal verses and the explosion of the instruments in the chorus. the refused song is 50 times better though.

this is my favourite song on the nu album (blink-182) i don't like the ending with the woman speaking because it sounds a bit crazy and i can't play it on the bus lol. i like the funky drum beat and the intro is fab. i just wish more bands would listen to stuff like this and make similar music...

The part with the women talking is actually for the 5th song, Stockholm Syndrome

Yeah but they include the woman speaking as part of the fourth song and it's annoying coz i dont like the bit with the woman speaking. I want to be able to play it for once with out having to jump to stop it saying that bit lol

i luv the new album from blink! its awesome. i think that in their music at least they have matured since their last album..take of ur pants and jacket. the lyrics seem to be more meaningful and have deeper meaning but they are still just as awesome to listen to! i luv this song btw, it just represents a struggle..a yearning for sumthing that is just out of ur reach

Does anyone have any idea what it is that Mark is saying in the background after the second chorus, druing the interlude, cause it's so quiet but you can definately hear it. All I know is that it ends in him saying "So take this gift as something safe". Amazing song by the way.

When Mark is talking in the background during the bridge all I can make out is "and all the skin is cut and the blood overflows" in the middle

I've been messing with the song some, and when mark starts talking he's saying something about eyes and right before he says so take this gift as something safe at the end he says "and it seems like all I ever do is try" man, i really wish i knew all of what he was saying

i found out what hes saying its:

"Who'll stand by your side? So watch my eyes. Watch 'em turn while you go change. Curtains down. When all their skill was cut, and I bled. There were forces of John Jones. I can't make you happy. It seems all i ever do is try. You could never cut me deep enough to leave a scar. So take this gift. It's somethin to save"

i think alot of you guys are too hard on this song
i had to listen to this song a few times before i really liked it alot..but now love it...its cool how it starts it almost sounds like a heartbeat and then some really cool guitar and wicked drums come in and then the melodic but kinda intense chorus..i just love the way its put together and toms voice is always amazing..especially when hes like "and after..and after..." and the lyrics are amazing i can relate to it so much its just a wicked song
im lost without you is my favourite on this album tho

this comes close to asthenia for best song on the album. not quite though.
and as much as i like this song, and i know you blink fans can get mighty defensive, it has to be said that whoever thought up the intro drumming/guitar drone was listning to the intro to 'a song for the dead' by queens of the stoneage a little too much.
but that aside its of course a great song on an amazing album. it makes me so angry when i talk about this album and everyone replies "their old stuff is better". A: its not, and B: when some cunts i talk to say 'old stuff' they mean enema of the state anyway. poor ignorant folk.

i like this song, but it took me ages 2 really like it. the intro's waaaay 2 long but the chorus is so full of feeling and it really makes u think WOW these guys can sing. theyve matured well and rnt tryin 2 prove they're still little punks with a rebellious streak. thyere finally showing tht they can sing about things in a different way.

the long intro in the beginning is what makes this song awesome.

the video that came w/ the album is pretty cool. best part is when mark w/ a blank look starts shakin his head like an idiot to the drum beat. and tom lookin like hes about to have a fuckin migraine.

ok......i read it as soon as i got it, cuz i haven't heard it in forever, and it just started playing in my mind. By the way, the line that says
"Your breath in this cool room chill"
it's wrong, it's supose to be "your breath is cool and chill"......
Anyway, i think it's that he's drinking his problems away (6 bottles down the drain).....and there's a girl with him, and he's "still pushing the chance to try", if you know what i mean. And he's obsessed with her, and has been for a long time, and because of that obsession, he doesn't weird things to please her....(you have me forever and after)....if you've ever been obsessed with someone, you know what i mean, you'll do anything to please them.
Everyone knows about him obsessing over her...."cant count all the eyes that stare".....
She's this player, and he's obsessed with her, that's pretty much all there is to it......she leaves her victims behind.....uh huuuhhhhh.......i'm just kinda rambling.....oh, each time he trys to get her attention, she just "walks right on by".....and i'm guessing he's kinda depressed about it......

Summary of all that shit up there^:
He likes a girl that's a player, and she wont pay any attention to him, and he's just completely OBSESSED with her. He also notices that she's a player, but still is obsessed. Because of this obsession, he'll do anything to get her attention, and he'll do anything for her. He's kinda like her slave.....
Everyone's watching to see what will happen.....

this is the best i could explain it......sorry, i'm not awake today, and it's about 1 in the morning....

this song is sooo incredibly great! i think it is about this guy wanting a certain girl so badly and the lyrics are what he feels.
