The band was formed two years later when the other three original members (Steve, righ?, Vanessa Y.T. and Kitty) joined. They have released four albums, two EPs, one live album, and one live DVD. Rather than signing traditional record contracts, the band has preferred to license their albums to record labels, thus retaining ownership of their music. Their latest record is licensed to The End Records.
The band maintains a devout fanbase, and has opened for many famous bands such as Linkin Park, System of a Down, Korn, Staind, Sum 41, My Chemical Romance, Insane Clown Posse, Rammstein and Fu Manchu. They have also participated in the Voodoo Music Experience. They have also had many well known bands open for them such as Tub Ring, Fake Shark - Real Zombie! and Dog Fashion Disco.
In January 2009 the band headlined the Kerrang! Relentless Energy Drink tour, supported by Bring Me The Horizon, Dir en grey, Black Tide and In Case of Fire, though Lyn-Z did not participate due to her pregnancy.
Revenge
MSI Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let's see, we did that one, did that one,
did that one--that sucked--
I did this one...
Yo, fuck me and my friends
My friends and me
Never special enough
Plus the secret sauce
I’m gothalicious with cheese
And all the gay things I say
Make such a pretty melody
Now, I’m gonna say all those bad things about you
I make up things so everyone hates you
This…is…my…re…venge
I’m a little tease
Watch what I do
Here’s a little taste
Of how it’s gonna be from now on
Yo, fuck me and my friends
My friends and me
Never special enough
To make a case for jealousy
Plus the secret sauce
I’m gothalicious with cheese
And all the gay things I say
Make such a pretty melody
Now, I’m gonna say all those bad things about you
I make up things so everyone hates you
This…is…my…re…venge
I’m a little tease
Watch what I do
Here’s a little taste
Of how it’s gonna be from now on
The song "Revenge" by Mindless Self Indulgence (MSI) is a powerful expression of defiance, anger and a desire for retribution. The lyrics speak of an individual who is tired of being overlooked and feeling inferior- someone who says they and their friends have never been special enough to make a case for jealousy. The singer then goes on to proclaim that they are "gothalicious with cheese" and that the "gay things" they say make a "pretty melody". The song's message seems to be about embracing and celebrating one's differences, and not allowing others to make them feel small or insignificant.
The chorus is a declaration of revenge- the singer says they are going to "make up things so everyone hates you", and that this is their "revenge". The lyrics express a sense of power and control, as though the individual has finally found a way to fight back against those who have mistreated them. The final lines of the song promise that the listener can expect more of the same in the future- "Here's a little taste of how it's gonna be from now on".
Overall, "Revenge" is a song about empowerment and standing up against those who seek to undermine, belittle or harm us. Its lyrics encourage us to be proud of our differences and to embrace our own uniqueness, rather than trying to fit in or conform to others' expectations. The title itself is a call to action- it's time to take revenge on those who have wronged us, and to show them that we are not to be underestimated.
