She Wants Revenge's music is hard to emcompass into a single genre or sound. It draws inspiration from several alternative rock and new wave artists. The band blends their influences with ever-present electronics (eg. synths and drum machines) in a style most accurately labeled under the umbrella term, "darkwave", a style of music reminiscent of the New Wave and Gothic Rock sounds of the 1980s.
She Wants Revenge have stated that they make "dance music" on numerous occasions setting them aside from the contemporary rock bands often falsely linked with the band in the music press.
History

Alongside the post, Justin wrote a letter to fans thanking them. This can also be found on their Instagram page.
After She Wants Revenge, Adam has continued his own work inside "Love, Ecstasy and Terror", also known as lovexterror.
It's Just Begun
She Wants Revenge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone's gonna let their guard down one last time.
Maybe they once locked eyes,
Perhaps they just decide,
But someone's gonna fall in love in here tonight,
In a dark room,
With our secrets,
But still they always know.
Whisper to me softly, "I'm yours"
Until we know it's time to leave.
Act as if this is forever,
Assume the roles we could never be.
Cause all these friends of mine would like to think that they've found the one.
But tell me that with us it's different, tell me that we've just begun.
Someone's going home alone again tonight.
A quiet drive back to a cold house down the road.
With nobody left to right,
And no one to hold you tight.
Someone's going home alone again tonight.
The lyrics to She Wants Revenge's song It's Just Begun describe the potential for two people to fall in love with each other in a dark room full of secrets, where they think nobody is watching. The singer acknowledges that he and his partner are playing the roles of being in love, even though they may not necessarily feel that way. They both act like this is a forever kind of love, even though they cannot sustain it. The singer wonders if his partner agrees that they are different from all the other couples and that they have just begun their journey together.
The second verse of the song describes the aftermath of the encounter, where one of them goes home alone, back to their cold house, feeling the emptiness of their life without the other person. The singer implies that this scenario happens repeatedly, suggesting that either they cannot admit their true feelings to each other or there is some kind of external factor preventing them from fully committing to each other.
The tone of the song is melancholic, with the singer expressing a mix of sadness and hopefulness. He longs for a real connection with his partner and wishes that the fleeting moments they have are not just an act. The lyrics convey the universal desire to find love and the struggle to make it work, especially when other things in life get in the way.
