A Few Words from the Bride
Uma Thurman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looked dead, didn't I? Well I
Wasn't, but it wasn'T for lack fo
Trying, I can tell you that.
Actually Bill's last bullet put me
In a coma. A coma I was to lie in
For five years.
When I woke up, ...I went on what
The movie advertisements refer to
As a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. I
Roarded and I rampaged and I got
Bloody satisfaction. In all, I've
Killed 33 people to get to this
Point right now.
I have only one more.
The last one.
The one I'm driving to right now.
The only one left.
And when I arrive at my




Destination...
...I'm gonna Kill Bill.

Overall Meaning

In Uma Thurman's A Few Words from the Bride, she tells the story of her revenge mission against Bill after he tried to kill her. The opening line of the song, "Looked dead, didn't I?" refers to the scene in the movie where she lies motionless following an attack by Bill and his Deadly Viper Assassination Squad. Despite her seeming death, she wasn't actually dead but was in a coma, which she stayed in for five years.


Upon waking up, the Bride embarks on a bloodthirsty rampage, killing 33 people on the way to finally take revenge on Bill. The Bride's single-minded, vengeful mission is evident throughout the song, with lines like "I roared and I rampaged and I got bloody satisfaction." The song's climax comes when the Bride declares she has only one more person left to kill - Bill himself. The final line of the song, "And when I arrive at my destination...I'm gonna kill Bill" perfectly encapsulates the Bride's unrelenting desire for revenge.

She's the definition of going in a "roaring rampage of revenge"
