Hearing this song for the first time was a sense of peace, opening with a folk felt guitar topped with Mac Gray's polite vocals before the harmonic experience starts when Thomas' vocals join. Describing 'Violets' as an indie/folk track, the tendencies pick up throughout with this track being produced by Dublin-based artist Nagam.
An emotional message is in the lyrics of 'Violets', with Thomas explaining the song as "an expression of queer yearning. The song is written from the perspective of a boy who progressively reveals details of his lover's story to the listener."
"Here, Mac & I decided to use flowers, or more specifically violets, as a metaphor for violence & bruises - the ones on his lover's shoulders, caused by his father. The narrator is willing to accompany his partner through ‘hell’ as long as he is by his side. This song is one of suffering, longing and passion - but also one of hope."
