Troy Saunders describes the lyrical intent and meaning behind Violescent: “Calming the inner beast and creating separation between yourself and the caged animal, hungry with destructive intent. Bridging negative experiences of the past into a new and colourful light, becoming your ‘violescent self’. Desiring to better your personal environment and those who surround you, you must first better yourself.”
