Love Is Violence

Aaryan Shah's song 'Love Is Violence' delves into the complex and often painful emotions associated with love and loss. The lyrics open with a poignant metaphor, comparing the end of a relationship to stars burning out and dying. This imagery evokes a sense of finality and the inevitable passage of time, raising questions about where these lost loves go and whether they find a new place to belong. The uncertainty and confusion expressed in these lines set the tone for the rest of the song, highlighting the artist's struggle to understand the aftermath of a broken relationship.

The second verse shifts focus to the personal impact of this loss, as Shah reflects on losing friends and the possibility of rekindling past love. The lines 'When did I lose all my friends? I don’t know where they went' suggest a sense of isolation and abandonment, further emphasizing the emotional toll of the breakup. The plea for a second chance in love, 'If you loved me once before, could you love me once again?' reveals a deep yearning for reconciliation and the hope that love can be revived, despite the pain it has caused.

Throughout the song, Shah grapples with feelings of bitterness and confusion, as evidenced by the lines 'Say that I’m a bitter man, but I was still a friend. Help me understand why I lose in the end.' This introspective questioning underscores the internal conflict between wanting to move on and being unable to let go of the past. The repetition of the chorus, with its haunting questions about the fate of stars and lost loves, reinforces the theme of uncertainty and the search for closure. Ultimately, 'Love Is Violence' captures the raw and tumultuous emotions that accompany the end of a meaningful relationship, leaving listeners to ponder the true nature of love and its often destructive power.
