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
Their self-titled debut, was released in 2006. They contributed a cover of 'Kindnap the Sandy Claws' to the soundtrack of the "The Nightmare Before Christmas" re-release. Their next LP release, 'This Is Forever' was released in 2007. They also were featured on a track 'Time', with Timbaland.
On Feb. 27th, 2008, She Wants Revenge parted ways with Geffen/Interscope to run their own record label called Perfect Kiss Records, from which they released an EP titled 'Save Your Soul'. A second EP followed in 2009, titled "Up and Down", which was released on the 22nd of September.
On August 5th, 2020, Adam and Justin posted onto the official Instagram account of the band to announce their disbandment. They have confirmed that She Wants Revenge will not be returning, quote, "So, it's with a bit of sadness, yet crystal clear certainty that we say to you our friends, She Wants Revenge has run its course."
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.
Walking Away
She Wants Revenge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've done the best that I can
There's nothing more left to say
Well its over
I call her friend for advice
She says I'm sorry
I ask what she means
Why am I the last to know my fate?
I take a deep breath and call her
I can no longer wait
But it goes straight to message
And I'm deep in the zone
'Cause its 12:45 and you said you were home
I don't know why you'd hide from me
All those times you said you'd die for me
Don't go turning your back on me
Don't go walking away
Maybe you and I weren't meant to be
But don't go walking away
I'll make it easy for you
And say the things that you cant
I know we're growing apart and its alright
Told you that this day would come
When you'd go off on your own
So don't you get second thoughts
Cause the deals done
I try to be the bigger man and let go
But suddenly I start to wonder if there's more to the story
It doesn't matter either way in the end
Because you'll fall in love again,
There were others before me
Still its so hard to say goodbye,
But its even worse to live a lie
Don't go turning your back on me
Don't go walking away
Maybe you and I weren't meant to be
But don't go walking away
Don't go turning your back on me
Don't go walking away
Maybe you and I weren't meant to be
But don't go walking away
Don't go walking away
Don't go walking away

I feel her slipping away
I sense that my relationship is becoming weaker
I've done the best that I can
I have put forth my greatest effort to maintain the relationship
There's nothing more left to say
There is no more conversation that can mend the relationship
Well its over
The relationship has ended
I call her friend for advice
I reach out to a mutual friend for help
She says I'm sorry
The friend expresses condolences
I ask what she means
I inquire about the friend's apology
She says she told her we broke up
The friend has already informed the ex-partner of the breakup without my knowledge
Why am I the last to know my fate?
I wonder why I was not informed of the breakup by my ex-partner
I take a deep breath and call her
I gather my thoughts and prepare to contact my ex-partner
I can no longer wait
I cannot endure the uncertainty any longer
But it goes straight to message
The call goes unanswered and is directed to voicemail
And I'm deep in the zone
I am in a focused state of mind
'Cause its 12:45 and you said you were home
I am confused as to why my ex-partner is not answering the call when they were supposed to be home
I don't know why you'd hide from me
I do not understand why my ex-partner is avoiding communication
All those times you said you'd die for me
I recall the times my ex-partner declared their love for me
Don't go turning your back on me
I plead with my ex-partner not to ignore me
Don't go walking away
I implore my ex-partner not to leave the relationship
Maybe you and I weren't meant to be
Perhaps our relationship was not destined to last
But don't go walking away
Despite this, I beg my ex-partner to reconsider ending the relationship
I'll make it easy for you
I will try to make the breakup process smoother for my ex-partner
And say the things that you cant
I will express the difficult feelings and decisions that my ex-partner may struggle to articulate
I know we're growing apart and its alright
I acknowledge that our relationship has changed and accept that it is okay
Told you that this day would come
I had previously warned my ex-partner about the possibility of the relationship ending
When you'd go off on your own
When my ex-partner would prioritize their individual pursuits over our relationship
So don't you get second thoughts
I advise my ex-partner not to question their decision to break up
Cause the deals done
Because the decision to end the relationship has already been made
I try to be the bigger man and let go
I attempt to take the higher road and accept the breakup without malice
But suddenly I start to wonder if there's more to the story
Understandably, I begin to question the circumstances behind the breakup
It doesn't matter either way in the end
I come to the realization that knowing the full story does not make a difference in moving on
Because you'll fall in love again,
I acknowledge that my ex-partner will eventually find love with someone else
There were others before me
I remember that my ex-partner had past romantic experiences before we even met
Still its so hard to say goodbye,
Despite everything, parting ways is still a difficult and emotional process
But its even worse to live a lie
Continuing a relationship that no longer works is even more detrimental to both parties
Don't go walking away
Once again, I appeal to my ex-partner to try and save the relationship
Don't go walking away
I repeat my plea to not give up on the relationship
Don't go walking away
Lastly, I beg my ex-partner once more to reconsider ending the relationship
