Riot Lyrics

You say you want love, babe
You say you can give it to me just how I, yeah, I need
And you think of roses and daisies
And I think of passion and fire like Hades
You say all the time, peace and quiet
But for my love, I need a riot, a riot

I hope you'll capture my drift
I said, "I need a riot"
I don't want no sinking ship

But I need better than the typical
"Honey, I'm home" shit
Why we can't be making love?
Are you tired of this?

Said that you'd be working late
For the third time this week
Watch your love go astray
'Cause our love's too routine
Too routine

Love's too routine
Love's too routine
Too routine

What is the Meaning of Riot?

In this evocative ballad, the artist expresses her longing for a love that is passionate and unpredictable. She contrasts her desire for a "riot" of emotions with the mundane routine of a typical relationship. The lyrics indicate dissatisfaction with an unfulfilling love life and yearn for more excitement, passion, and spontaneity. The repeated phrase "Love's too routine" underlines the monotony she feels in her current relationship. The song serves as a plea for her partner to break away from their habitual patterns, suggesting that their love could be at risk if things don't change. The use of metaphors such as 'roses and daisies' versus 'passion and fire like Hades' further illustrates the disparity between her desires and reality.
