Revenge
MSI Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hear someone's got a hot date with death!
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
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

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

Overall Meaning

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.
