Chvrches - Screen Violence: Director's Cut
Screen Violence’s Opener Is A Quintessential Chvrches Song The Anthemic Energy Evokes The First Two Albums And Builds For Two Minutes Before Exploding In A Frantic Animated Drop.
Lyrically “Asking For A Friend” Is Reflecting On A Message Not As Cheerful As The Glossy Pop Blend Might Suggest. The Narrator Reminisces On Past Failures While Still Determined To Do Better Mirroring The Duality Of The Instrumental Arrangement. The Concept Of Admitting Wrongs And Coming Up To Terms With Them Is A Constant Motif Throughout The Album And It Is Certainly Not An Accident That It Is The Focus Of The Opener. “This Song Is Depressing But Hopeful. It Took A While To Get The Lyrics Right Because The Track Has Such A Profound Feel To It. If I Put The Wrong Lyric On Here It Would Fuck Everything Up. The Track Felt Like A Cool Chapter One It’s About Regret And Loneliness And It’s Quite Vulnerable And Raw. But Then It’s Like “Well Why Do You Feel Those Things?” The Next Chapters Are About Going Back To Tell The Rest Of That Story.“ - Via Apple Music

Screen Violence’s opener is a quintessential Chvrches song: the anthemic energy evokes the first two albums and builds for two minutes before exploding in a frantic, animated drop.
Lyrically, “Asking for a Friend” is reflecting on a message not as cheerful as the glossy pop blend might suggest. The narrator reminisces on past failures while still determined to do better, mirroring the duality of the instrumental arrangement.
The concept of admitting wrongs and coming up to terms with them is a constant motif throughout the album and it is certainly not an accident that it is the focus of the opener.
“This song is depressing but hopeful. It took a while to get the lyrics right, because the track has such a profound feel to it. If I put the wrong lyric on here, it would fuck everything up. The track felt like a cool chapter one: It’s about regret and loneliness and it’s quite vulnerable and raw. But then it’s like, “Well, why do you feel those things?” The next chapters are about going back to tell the rest of that story.“ - via Apple Music Read more on Last.fm.
