Lyrics: Violet, Violet Violet's the color for me Halfway between blood and the sky Everything I want to see
Violet, Violet Violet's the chakra for me in the key of B at the top of her head Seeking divinity
On my way to another place I stop long enough to breathe
Violet, Violet Violet's the flower for me the ancient Greek symbol of love Flower of fertility Flower of fertility
Notes: In Ancient Greece, the violet was both a symbol of love and fertility and the symbol of the city-state of Athens.
Quotes: "This one takes a lot of cues from Leonard Cohen too, even though it's a very personal song. Violet, my girlfriend, suggested putting this one right before the last track, to have a little calm before the storm" - Frank on recording Honeycomb - Night Times. 12/06/2005
Did your fianceé cry when she heard 'Violet'? "Um, I don't know. i think she might have cried when she heard the other song that i'm singing with my ex-wife...but for different reasons." - Interview in The Clash.
Definitions and References: Chakra The word comes from the Sanskrit cakra meaning "wheel, circle", and sometimes also referring to the "wheel of life".
The seven main chakras are described as being aligned in an ascending column from the base of the spine to the top of the head. Each chakra is associated with a certain color, multiple specific functions, an aspect of consciousness, a classical element, and other distinguishing characteristics.
