Natalie Prass tells the story behind the song to Songs for Whoever:
”I wrote that song so fast. That’s the only song I wrote by myself in class, I was at college at the time and I wrote the lyrics and the melody in my head. So I had to take a bathroom break and sneak off down the hallway! For some...
[Verse 1]
The turning of space
Can't stop its rate
Only in time
Will it start to fade
And I feel the same
I can't stop my shame
I want to reach out
But I don't know which way
And I'll break my legs
Cause they want to walk to you
[Chorus]
I just want to know you violently
Oh, I've had enough of talking politely
And the red is there, it's all over me
It's overlaid eloquently
[Verse 2]
Ooh, each day I hide
The extent of my mind
I put away things alright
Until companionless nights
But I wish I could turn it off or shred it
Wish forever rest
But as long as you're there
All my secrets compress
And I'll break my arms
Cause they want to hold you
[Chorus]
I just want to know you violently
Oh, I've had enough of talking politely
And the red is there, it's all over me
It's overlaid eloquently
[Bridge]
And I'll break all my bones
Cause they all, they all want you
[Chorus]
I know I just want to know you violently
Ooh, I've had enough of talking politely
Ooh and the red is there, it's all over me
It's overlaid eloquently
