We take a look at the meaning behind the lyrics of Miley Cyrus’s song Violet Chemistry as the singer drops her eighth studio album.
Miley Cyrus‘s new album Endless Summer Vacation closely follows the release of her smash hit Flowers, which fans believed sounded like a Bruno Mars song, continues to top the charts. The entire album reflects on the theme of romantic relationships and the next steps for the musician in her personal life as she embraces self-love and confidence.
The Hannah Montana alum’s eighth album is packed with catchy tracks that paint a picture of Miley’s experiences in life and love. Let’s delve into the lyrics of Violet Chemistry.
Meaning of Violet Chemistry explained
Violet Chemistry appears to be about meeting someone on a nightclub dance floor and having an instant attraction to them. The first verse sets the scene with the words: “the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave.”
Before asking her mystery dancefloor date to “stay a while” in the chorus, Miley appears to suggest a night of physical intimacy rather than emotional when she sings: “We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on.”
She tells her partner for the night, “Don’t deny the violet chemistry,” and “put your arms around me.”
Violet Chemistry lyrics are about lust
What exactly does Miley mean by violet chemistry? One interpretation is that it describes the electric feeling of lust and pure physical attraction.
As the song progresses, things seem to heat up as Miley sings: “Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes. Mixing all the colors like we’re makin’ a Monet.”
She hammers the point home again with: “There’s something between us that’s too major to ignore. May not be eternal but nocturnal, nothin’ more.”
Read the Violet Chemistry lyrics
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
And your phone is lost
But the car’s outside, waitin’ out on the street
Tonight, we’ll just be wrong, ain’t done this in so long
We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
Stay awhile, stay awhile with me (Oh, oh)
Stay awhile, don’t deny the violet chemistry (Oh, oh)
Stay awhile, stay awhile with me (Mm, no, oh)
Stay awhile, put your arms around me
Put them around me
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
Can I bum a cigarette? (Bum a cigarette)
We could paint our names in black on the marquee
Tonight, we’ll just be wrong (Wrong), ain’t done this in so long (Long)
We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on
When the floor is wet
And the lights come on, but you don’t wanna leave
Stay awhile, stay awhile with me (Oh, oh)
Stay awhile, don’t deny the violet chemistry (Oh, oh)
Stay awhile, stay awhile with me (Mm, no, oh)
Stay awhile, put your arms around me
Put them around me
Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes
Mixing all the colors like we’re makin’ a Monet
There’s something between us that’s too major to ignore
May not be eternal but nocturnal, nothin’ more
Fingers start to dance along the figures and the shapes
Mixing all the colors like we’re makin’ a Monet
There’s something between us that’s too major to ignore
May not be eternal but nocturnal, nothin’ more
Tonight, we’ll just be wrong (Wrong), ain’t done this in so long (Long)
We ain’t gotta talk, baby, we’ll keep the stereo on
Stay awhile, stay awhile with me (Oh, oh)
Stay awhile, don’t deny the violet chemistry (Oh, oh)
Stay awhile, stay awhile with me (Mm, no, oh)
Stay awhile, put your arms around me
Put them around me
