Revenge
Shandon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Our train was running fast
But you have never left
And your eyes have seen you were the weak
We cannot stay away
Maybe you'll never realize
I don't want too late

I can live without you
I couldn't stay without you
Do you think I'm goin' on and on?

I've handled all my life
When you're looking still confused
Overcome by your too many tears
And I wanna be relieved
Be myself in everything
And I want my train

I can live without you




I couldn't stay without you
Do you think I'm goin' on and on?

Overall Meaning

In Shandon's song Revenge, the lyrics seem to be telling a story of someone who has realized that they don't need another person in their life who has been holding them back. The first line, "Our train was running fast, but you have never left" signifies that the relationship was moving quickly, but the other person was always present and holding them back. This realization is further highlighted in the line, "And your eyes have seen you were the weak," suggesting that the other person was aware of their weakness but didn't do anything to fix it.


The next few lines indicate that the singer is ready to move on and is unsure if the other person will ever realize what they lost. They don't want to wait too late for something that may never happen. The chorus, "I can live without you, I couldn't stay without you, do you think I'm goin' on and on?" is an expression of the singer's independence and the dichotomy of feeling both empowered and vulnerable at the same time.


In the next verse, the singer acknowledges that they have handled their life without the other person before and can do it again. They describe the other person as still being confused and overwhelmed by their emotions while the singer wants to be relieved and feel more like themselves. The final line, "And I want my train," echoes the idea of the relationship moving too fast and the singer wanting to take control of their own life by being the conductor of their own train.


Overall, Revenge seems to be a song about taking control of one's life and moving on from a relationship that was holding them back. The message is empowering, and the lyrics convey a sense of strength and determination.
