Hole Lyrics
Is it safe to say this is Courtney Love's Smells Like Teen Spirit?
Triclops Sound Studios (Marietta, Georgia, USA), October 1993

Before it became the opening track for Live Through This , “Violet” was written earlier on in 1991 and performed during the band’s first tour. The first recorded studio version can be found on the band’s EP Ask for It . The song received generally good critical reception, peaking at #29 on Billboard’s Modern Rock Tracks.
The cover of the song’s single features an anonymous memorial photograph of a young girl with a doll.
The music video features scenes of Courtney Love as a stripper, portraying an essential component of Love’s life: sex work, to which she turned multiple times throughout her life. The fellow women were actual strippers hired by Love from a Los Angeles dance bar where she had worked in the ‘80s. Bassist and backup vocalist Melissa Auf Der Maur provides Kirsten Pfaff’s place for the first time as seen in the video, as Pfaff had died from a drug overdose earlier that year.
The lyrics are apparently about Love’s relationship to Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan . In 1995, she introduced the song on Later… with Jools Holland saying:
This is a song about a jerk. I hexed him and now he’s losing his hair.
Based on this premise, it is worth noting that, according to Love herself , Corgan had a girlfriend at the time they met. However, Love claims that she was never informed of this, not until after indulging in a relationship with him, when his girlfriend found out about them and they were forced to break up.
Corgan’s side of the story sees him performing live during a small gig, and looking for Love in the public. In the end, he spotted her: she was standing on a table, lifting up her skirt to show her panties to some other guy. According to Corgan, this was the cause of a huge fight and of their ultimate break up.
It depends on what you mean by that. If you mean this is Hole’s most recognizable song, like “Smells Like Teen Spirit” is for Nirvana, then I guess you’d be right.
However, you must consider how SLTS was more on the “pop” end of the spectrum in Nirvana’s strictly grunge context. It was their catchiest, most danceable tune – in fact, the band reportedly hated it . From this point of view, I guess you could consider songs like Celebrity Skin or Malibu by Hole to be a better correspondence.

Started in 1989 by Courtney Love , Hole is one of the most rough-around-the-edges alternative bands of the Nineties. Members of the band changed with each album, with Love remaining the only one to work on every Hole record. The band’s most iconic line-up included Courtney Love (vocals, rhythm guitar), Eric Erlandson (guitars), Melissa Auf der Maur (bass, backing vocals) and Patty Schemel (drums).
After three successful albums, the group split in 2000 and Love pursued a solo career under her own name. In 2010, she regrouped Hole, remaining the only member of the original line-up – not without a good dose of controversy – and released the album Nobody’s Daughter . The fourth Hole album was accompanied by a worldwide tour, which ended in 2013.
As of now, there are no plans for Hole to reunite, although Love reconvened with members from the original line-up on a number of occasions and mentioned the possibility of working with them again in the future.

Hole is an American alternative rock band that originally formed in Los Angeles in 1989. The band is fronted by singer-songwriter Courtney Love (vocals, rhythm guitar), who co-founded Hole with lead guitarist Eric Erlandson. Hole achieved considerable commercial and critical success throughout the 1990s, initially releasing singles through independent labels in L.A. and debuting with their caustic noise rock-influenced Pretty on the Inside (1991), and later gaining critical acclaim with their 1994 album Live Through This.

And the sky was made of amethyst
And all the stars were just like little fish
You should learn when to go
You should learn how to say "NO"

Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever

When they get what they want, they never want it again
When they get what they want, they never want it again

Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to

And the sky was all violet
I want it again, but violent more violent
Hey, I'm the one with no soul
One above and one below

Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever
Might last a day, yeah
Mine is forever

When they get what they want, they never want it again
When they get what they want, they never want it again

Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I dare you to

I told you from the start just how this would end
When I get what I want then I never want it again

Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, I want you to
Go on, take everything, take everything, take everything, take everything

Writer(s): Courtney Love, Eric Erlandson
