“Politics & Violence” by Dominic Fike

Contrary to the title, “Politics & Violence” is not about politics or violence. Rather Dominic dedicates most of the lyrics in the track’s singular verse to detailing his interactions with a romantic interest. And the intro, chorus and bridge possibly, though highly-metaphorical, allude to his quest for stardom. And he concludes the song by insinuating that he’s in the studio dancing. So all things considered, “Politics & Violence” reads a lot like a freestyle, i.e. a song which is not dedicated to sticking to any particular topic(s).
