Song Meaning of “You, Me & The Violence” by Birds in Row
This song is about the breakdown of a relationship between two individuals. One is bound to the other, yet both are struggling with their inner pain and violence that they face within themselves. The lyrics talk about the fear of being the one to finally “break the line” and the need to hold on to their connection despite the darkness that has caused a divide between them.
The verses explore this dichotomy between the couple’s conflict and its resolution. The chorus acts as a lament and reminder to keep hope alive through it all: “ Our love keeps us safe from all the violence // You, me and the violence // Our hands hold the space for all that pain between us // You, me and the violence”. The song speaks of the troubles that inevitably arise in relationships but the way in which we confront them with understanding, compassion, and love can make all the difference.
