On June 10, 2017, Allie did a Q&A on Twitter and a fan asked her which song on her CollXtion II album is the most personal and she answered saying that all of the songs are pretty personal and then said: “Maybe true love is violent”.
“True Love Is Violent” is the tenth and last track on Allie X...
[Verse 1]
The surface of the water is serene
But what goes on below?
Hungry current sucking at your feet
It won't let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Tossed 'til we're capsized
Battered and bruised
Say it's the last time
We know the truth
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got until it's gone
Don't know what is right until it's wrong
Heaven could fall and angels swarm
But Hell is ours to face
Ah-oh, true love is violent
Ah-oh, true love is violent, violent
[Verse 2]
Stirring in the sugar cubes of salt
Pollute to purify
Drowning in my body, mind and thoughts
My mouth is dry
[Pre-Chorus]
Tossed 'til we're capsized
Battered and bruised
Say it's the last time
We know the truth
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got until it's gone
Don't know what is right until it's wrong
Heaven could fall and angels swarm
But Hell is ours to face
Ah-oh, true love is violent
Ah-oh, true love is violent, violent
[Bridge]
After the storm, after the rain
I'm juvenile, I'm born again (Ah-ah-ah)
[Chorus]
Don't know what you got until it's gone
Don't know what is right until it's wrong
Heaven could fall and angels swarm
But Hell is ours to face
Ah-oh, true love is violent
Ah-oh, true love is violent, violent
