You Wanted More

In 'You Wanted More,' VIOLENT VIRA delves into the raw emotions of betrayal and the subsequent loss of trust. The song's protagonist is addressing a former friend who has crossed boundaries, leading to a painful realization. The opening lines, 'Shut up and just let me go / Delete my number from your shitty phone,' set a confrontational tone, indicating a decisive end to the relationship. The protagonist feels wronged and misunderstood, as they express frustration over being perceived as 'malicious and vicious' when, in reality, they are deeply hurt.

The lyrics reveal a sense of shock and disappointment, particularly in the lines, 'Never expected that you wanted more / And I thought I had a good friend.' This suggests that the friend had ulterior motives, possibly romantic or selfish, which were not reciprocated. The repeated phrase 'you wanted more' underscores the friend's insatiable desire for something beyond the platonic bond, leading to the protagonist's disillusionment. The use of the word 'whore' is harsh and reflects the depth of the protagonist's anger and sense of betrayal.

Throughout the song, there is a recurring theme of lost trust. The protagonist recounts times of support and camaraderie, only to feel that these moments were tainted by the friend's hidden agenda. The lines 'Times that I helped you out / Listened attentively without a doubt' highlight the one-sided nature of the relationship. The song concludes with a sense of finality and resignation, as the protagonist declares, 'I'm done and I don't think I want to trust anyone anymore.' This powerful ending encapsulates the emotional toll of betrayal and the difficulty of moving forward after such an experience.
