Vengeance
The Devil Wears Prada Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are a sickness
My only sincere plague.
Is this what you've worked for?
Running your false empire to the ground.

What is this substance
That made your very own morals change?
It's gone a little too far to turn back now.
(turn back now)
It's gone a little too far to turn back.
Always running I am the outcast.
Keep running, keep running away.

On to the next one, how can you have no shame?
Gone (gone) is your reason,
Think of from where you came.
(where you came)
God as my witness, there will be no love lost.

This is my vengeance
From here on out it's no regrets.
You are my sickness
I gave it all my very best.
This is my vengeance
From here on out it's no regrets.
You are my sickness
I gave it all my very best.
(my very best)

It's gone a little too far to turn back now.
(turn back now)
It's gone a little too far to turn back.
Always running I am the outcast.
It's gone a little too far to turn back now.
(it's gone a little too far) (turn back now)
It's gone a little too far to turn back.
Always running I am the outcast.
Keep running, keep running away.

On to the next one,
Driven by what you gain.

Broken honor,
You came and you went.





We're just another crack in the wall,
Here with no love lost. (no love lost)

Overall Meaning

The Devil Wears Prada's song Vengeance is a heart-wrenching and raw expression of anger, hurt, and disappointment in someone close who has betrayed the singer. The opening lines, "You are a sickness, my only sincere plague," sets the tone for the whole song. The singer addresses a person who has caused them intense pain, likening them to a disease. The lyrics present a picture of a person who has built a false empire, one that has contributed to moral decay.


Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the idea of what could make a person turn away from their ideals, referring to it as a "substance." The singer asks if this is what the person has worked for, running their empire into the ground. Still, they acknowledge that the situation has gone too far to turn it around. Despite the person's shamelessness, the singer promises their vengeance, declaring that it is from here on out with no regrets.


The chorus of the song highlights the emotional turmoil that the betrayal has caused the singer. They feel like an outcast, always running away, but it's gone too far to turn back now. They express determination and unwavering strength to stand firm as they repeat the lines "This is my vengeance, from here on out, it's no regrets, you are my sickness, I gave it all my very best."

This band is the definition of consistency

Casey Whalin

Found this album in a storage box. I thought I lost it. One of my top 5, honestly. This was their masterpiece.

Willian Simoncelli

Não tem um trabalho deles que fica ruim!! FODAS DEMAIS !!1

noah

nice song

plugthemike

I love christian metalcore bans like TDWP, August Burns Red, Haste The Day and For Today!! God bless them!!! <3

Lane Corbin

One of TDWP's more underrated songs. No lie, this is the song that got me hooked on them. One of the few songs I've heard ever that tells a story to me in it's lyrics. And the chorus is just so orgasmic (Jeremy bless you).

Jean-Andre Sonnenschein

The song that got me hooked to this band was assistant to the regional manager. Love the energy in that Track :)

Liam Ramaekers

One of the few??? I hope you’ve found more story telling music since then!!

Candice Pyrtle

TDWP has the most graceful and awesome way of evolving and changing their sound. Wish more bands could do it like them.
