Ever felt like the life of the party but secretly wanted to escape the noise? The xx's track dives into this paradox with finesse. Our protagonist is caught in a whirlwind of social chaos, desperately trying to connect yet retreating from genuine emotions. They're haunted by self-doubt, questioning if their pride or the deafening beats are drowning out their true feelings. Each night out becomes an overwhelming symphony of violent noise, a metaphor for internal turmoil and disconnection. It's a poignant reminder that sometimes, amidst all the loudness, we just need a moment of silence to find ourselves again.
A Violent Noise
Lyrics
If I'm beating every hand away
No one stays
I've got so cautious
And now I trip on every move I make
Let one play
To be that careless
With every kiss from a friend
With everything I pretend not to feel
Am I too high? Am I too proud?
Is the music too loud for me to hear?
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
Dries my eye
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody sung
And I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
You've been staying out late
Trying your best to escape
I hope you find what you're looking for
Let a moment take place
Without running away
I hope you silence the noise
How could eyes this wide
Lose sight of a world outside?
I've looked away, cowardice
With every kiss from a friend
With everything I pretend not to feel
Am I too high? Am I too proud?
Is the music too loud for me to hear?
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
Dries my eye
With every beat comes a violent noise
The melody sung
And I don't know the voice
Now I go out
But every beat is a violent noise
