Revenge
XXXTENTACION Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think I, I think I finally
Found a way to forgive myself
From mistakes I made in the past
I think that's the first step, right?
You agree?

I've dug two graves for us, my dear
Can't pretend that I was perfect, leavin' you in fear
Oh man, what a world, the things I hear
If I could act on my revenge, no, would I?
Some kill, some steal, some break your heart
And you thought that I would let it go and let you walk
Well, broken hearts break bones, so break up fast
And I don't wanna let it go, so in my grave, I'll rot
I've dug two graves for us, my dear
Can't pretend that I was perfect, leavin' you in fear
Oh man, what a world, the things I hear
If I could act on my revenge, no, would I?
Some kill, some steal, some break your heart
And you thought that I would let go and let you walk
Broken hearts break bones, so break up fast
And I don't wanna let it go, so in my grave, I'll rot

In the grave, I'll rot
In the grave, I'll rot
In the grave, I'll rot
In the grave, I'll rot
In the grave, I'll rot
In the grave, I'll rot
In the grave, I'll rot
(Is my pain your freedom?) I'll rot, I'll rot, I'll rot
Is all of my pain your freedom?

Overall Meaning

The song "Revenge" by XXXTentacion is a reflection on his past mistakes and regrets, and his struggle to let go of a toxic relationship. The lyrics suggest that the first step towards forgiveness is acknowledging one's own mistakes and taking responsibility for them. The artist admits that he was not perfect and he caused fear in his partner, which ultimately led to the demise of their relationship. He contemplates taking revenge on those who hurt him in the past, but recognizes the destructive nature of such actions.


The phrase "I've dug two graves for us, my dear" is a metaphor for their doomed relationship. The artist acknowledges that he played a role in their downfall, and that he cannot undo the damage that is done. He compares his pain to being in a grave, unable to let go of his emotional turmoil. The repetition of the phrase "in the grave I'll rot" emphasizes the artist's sense of hopelessness and despair.


Overall, "Revenge" is a dark and introspective song that deals with themes of regret, forgiveness, and healing. It encourages listeners to take responsibility for their actions and to seek forgiveness from themselves and others.

I have not listened to your songs and I’m sorry.

I began to hate you because your songs and creativity reminded me of the dark times I lived in.

I don’t believe in many things but I’ve been feeling so sad lately, and for some odd reason I thought of the melody of one of your songs: and now I’m here.

Today, I logged onto Tiktok and saw your brother. I went to his instagram page and saw how much he posted you.

I have a little sister so thank you for showing me the love of siblings.

Thank you for keeping me here.

I am sorry for pushing your music out of my life, because currently it’s the only thing that brings me an odd comfort.

R.I.P X. ❤

We miss you.

XXXTentacion - Revenge (Lyrics)


I've Dug Two Graves For Us, My Dear
Can't Pretend That I Was Perfect,
Leavin' You In Fear

Oh Man What A World, The Things I Hear
If I Could Act On My Revenge,
Then, Oh, Would I?

Some Kill, Some Steal,
Some Break Your Heart
And You Would Thought
I Would Let It Go And Let You Walk

Broken Hearts,Break Bones
So Break Up Fast
And I Don't Wanna Let It Go,
So In My Grave I'll Rot

I've Dug Two Graves For Us, My Dear
Can't Pretend That I Was Perfect,
Leavin' You In Fear

Oh Man What A World, The Things I Hear
If I Could Act On My Revenge,
Then, Oh, Would I?

Some Kill, Some Steal,
Some Break Your Heart
And You Would Thought
I Would Let It Go And Let You Walk

Broken Hearts, Break Bones
So Break Up Fast
And I Don't Wanna Let It Go,
So In My Grave I'll Rot

In My Grave I'll Rot
In My Grave I'll Rot
In My Grave I'll Rot

In My Grave I'll Rot
In My Grave I'll Rot
In My Grave I'll Rot
