Retribution
BAD HABIT Sweden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Countdown starts from ten, once again
Rage creates an avalanche
Rushing in my veins. sell the score
The antidote is my reward
Crushing my believes, just to make me stronger (do you want a piece of me)
Even up the odds just to tease my hunger (do you want a piece of me)

Don't know what's waiting for them
The point of no return
Old lessons learned
Now it's my turn

No fear, no evolution
No pain, no sacrifice
No rage, no retribution

Left with broken bones, a crooked nose
A counter-pose as I reload
Taking back what's mine, there's no remorse
Next victim is another war
Even though it's wrong, retaliation's calling (do you want a piece of me)
Pray for what it's worth as the angel's fallin' (do you want a piece of me)

Don't know what's waiting for them..

No fear, no evolution
No pain, no sacrifice
No rage, no retribution
No wars, no liberations
No walls, no borderlines
No rage, no retribution

As the world seems to search for an angel
I am here, by my own
I'm standin' alone

Don't know what's waiting for them..

No fear, no evolution..





No fear, no evolution..

Overall Meaning

The song "Retribution" by BAD HABIT Sweden is a powerful anthem about the desire for revenge and the pursuit of justice. The lyrics recount the singer's determination to seek retribution against those who have wronged them, fueled by their rage and a hunger for vengeance. The countdown to the retribution begins, and the singer feels an avalanche of emotion rushing through their veins.


The singer acknowledges that this quest for retribution may involve sacrificing their own beliefs and values, but they are willing to do so in order to emerge stronger. The lyrics also suggest that the singer may have faced some kind of setback or injury in the past, evidenced by the reference to "broken bones" and a "crooked nose." However, they are undeterred and ready to take back what is rightfully theirs, with no remorse for their actions.


The chorus emphasizes the idea that in order to achieve personal growth and progress, one must be willing to endure pain, sacrifice, and even rage. There can be no evolution without these elements, and the pursuit of justice and retribution is a natural and necessary part of this process.
