Michael Barr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cause lately I been feelin' like I can't talk
Wait a minute till' I die
Hold my breath pop off then I roll off
I bite my lip
Slice my wrist
Value you know how to shock
I don't wanna' turn to enigma
No trouble leave the crowd with a hard on
Cause' lately I can't talk
Whole gang in this bitch for the win
I admit I'm a little lost
Yeah, oh yeah oh yeah
Couldn't tell you what it really costs
I didn't quit to do this close enough
Close enough, kay
Know I got revenge
Revenge on my mind
Yeah...
Never knowing how to pretend
Baby girl make me go blind
Cause' right now,
right now I've thinking about bowing in
the middle of the highway into headlights
Ending with you good sex, good sex in my shower
Sun coming through the skylight
Woah...
Knowing that I got revenge
Revenge on my mind
I've been
For the most part
Hiding on the low
Then again I'm driving
Only staying on my side of the city
Past a little
Beat that pussy paradiddle
Bitches on my side
No malcolm in the middle
I... only got one night
Couldn't tell you what the price
I've been high and you've been winning
It ain't that hard
I did die and you done did it
Well you know now baby
I've been high and you've been winning
It ain't that hard
It ain't that hard
Know I got revenge
Revenge on my mind
Yeah...
Never knowing how to pretend
Baby girl make me go blind
Cause' right now,
right now I've thinking about bowing in
the middle of the highway into headlights
Ending with you good sex, good sex in my shower
Sun coming through the skylight
Woah...
Knowing that I got revenge
Revenge on my mind
Revenge on my mind...
The song "Revenge" by Michael Barr is a depiction of a man who feels trapped and can't talk to anyone. He is struggling with his inner demons, and the only solace he finds is through revenge on his mind. Throughout the song, Michael speaks of his inner life and the things that run through his head as he struggles with living in his head. The lyrics "Cause lately I been feelin' like I can't talk, I admit I'm a little lost," signify his exasperation, as he carries on with his life, but his mind is constantly racing.
Michael admits to feeling lost, and he admits to wanting to take revenge on someone. The line "Know I got revenge, revenge on my mind" is repeated throughout the song, reinforcing the fact that the idea of revenge is consuming him. Michael also speaks of being high and getting lost in the moment with someone, suggesting that he is trying to find an escape from his tumultuous inner life. However, as the song comes to an end, the idea of revenge becomes all-consuming once again as he repeats "I've been high and you've been winning, it ain't that hard" twice.

Music made with talent is rare these days. Absolutely amazing.
@CostaKy
I've started reinterpreting some of Michael's songs on 12 string guitar and vocally stripped down and the songs have so much colour and melody it's insane.
