About This Track
'Violence' pairs Grimes with producer i_o on a track that channels aggression into something almost playful. The song circles a single idea: a dynamic built on mutual provocation, where hurt and desire tangle together. Grimes adopts a tone of exasperation and complicity at once, her voice cutting through synth-heavy production with the kind of clarity that makes the repetition feel deliberate rather than slack. The lyrics sketch a relationship defined by antagonism. She sings of someone who feeds off causing pain, yet frames her own participation in the cycle with a shrug of acceptance. There's no victim narrative here; instead, the song treats violence as a kind of currency, something both parties understand and accept. The production mirrors this tension, bright and propulsive where you might expect something darker, which gives the track an unsettling pop sensibility that sits somewhere between club music and something more confrontational.
"Violence" is a single by Grimes, from the album Miss Anthropocene, released 24th October 2019. The track is 3:41 long. It's filed under Electronic. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 6 articles about Grimes.
