Retribution
Dani Sylvia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been searching low and high for you
90 down the m25 for you, die for you
Somebody take the wheel before I crash
The devil whispered in my ear thought you'd never ask'

You wouldn't hit me with your new address
You not replying to my messages, oh and your friends
Told me to let you go to pass on through
They said you're happier with someone new, but that can't be true because

Ain't nobody could adore you more than I do
Need the air need the water like I need you
Ain't nobody could adore you more than I do
More than I miss you I hate you more than I love you
(Nobody no no, more than I do)

I got your details from your brother, deception
I ran for miles in the other direction
I gotta see you got to take my place
She don't know you like I know you she's a fucking disgrace

I knock your door down I've been moving so fast
My shoes are bleeding on your welcome home mat
I fall into you when you open it up
And I'm just screaming I'm just screaming at the top of my lungs

Ain't nobody could adore you more than I do
Need the air need the water like I need you
Ain't nobody could adore you more than I do
More than I miss you I hate you more than I love you
(Nobody no no, more than I do)

There will be no you if you're not loving me
I swear that they already smell the blood on me
Flashing lights inside my eyes and on your street
And retribution tastes so sweet it set me free
There will be no you if you're not loving me
I swear that they already smell the blood on me
Flashing lights inside my eyes and on your street
And retribution tastes so sweet it set me free

Ain't nobody could adore you more than I do
Need the air need the water like I need you
Ain't nobody could adore you more than I do




More than I miss you I hate you more than I love you
(Nobody no no, more than I do)

You chose not to respond to my messages, even after your friends advised me to move on


Told me to let you go to pass on through
They suggested that I should let go and move forward

I collapse into your arms when you finally open the door

I express my intense emotions by shouting loudly


There will be no you if you're not loving me
You will cease to exist in my mind if you don't reciprocate my love


I swear that they already smell the blood on me
I believe others can already sense the pain and turmoil I'm going through


Flashing lights inside my eyes and on your street
I'm experiencing a chaotic mix of emotions both internally and externally


And retribution tastes so sweet it set me free
Seeking revenge brings a sense of liberation and freedom
