Revenge
Zed Yago Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Behind the backyard down in the dust
Every night the same old fuss
No cash for trash the painted wall
Bursts into flames out of control
You're a creature,
Got to be stronger, than a wise man
But your life won't last longer,
Than five years plus ten.

No illusions emotions in chains
Underground dangerous games
Wake up in this circumstance
Avenging angel making advance.

Even a worm will turn,
And its crying out for revenge,

All the children will burn
When you set them on a fire dance,
A bitter life romance, surviving just for revenge.

Ready to fight at the edge of a crime

A fairy tale at first sight
You're deeper in it than you think you might.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Zed Yago's song Revenge are riddled with imagery that depicts a world of chaos and desperation. The first two lines paint a picture of a neighborhood that is plagued by constant conflict, with residents caught up in a cycle of arguing and fighting. The reference to "no cash for trash" suggests that the people living here are perhaps trapped in poverty, leading to feelings of frustration and anger that often boil over into violence. The line "You're a creature, got to be stronger than a wise man" implies that the singer is somehow different from those around him, and perhaps sees himself as superior in some way.

The second verse describes a world that is even more dangerous, a place where emotions are suppressed and violence reigns. The idea of "dangerous games" suggests a world of criminal activity, where people are forced to do whatever it takes to survive. The reference to an "avenging angel" implies that the singer is somehow seeking justice, perhaps for crimes committed against him or his loved ones in the past. The repeated refrain of "even a worm will turn" suggests that the singer, who may have been beaten down or oppressed for too long, has finally reached a breaking point and is ready to fight back.

Line by Line Meaning

Behind the backyard down in the dust
In a place secluded from the world, hidden behind the backyard, in a location where little has changed and time has created layers of dust

Every night the same old fuss
Night after night, the same trouble and noise repeating itself

No cash for trash the painted wall
The wall is covered in graffiti, with no attempt to make it look pretty or meaningful

Bursts into flames out of control
Suddenly and without warning, the situation became explosive and uncontrollable

You're a creature,
You are not just human, but a unique being with strange or unusual qualities

Got to be stronger, than a wise man
You need to be powerful and resilient, even more than someone who is intelligent or experienced

But your life won't last longer, than five years plus ten.
Despite your strength, your life expectancy is short and you will likely die sooner rather than later

No illusions emotions in chains
You cannot escape the harsh reality of your situation, and your feelings are constrained and confined

Underground dangerous games
You are participating in high-stakes, risky activities that are off the mainstream and potentially damaging

Wake up in this circumstance
You awaken to a situation that cannot be ignored or escaped

Avenging angel making advance.
You are an agent of revenge, a divine figure who seeks to right wrongs and attack those who have wronged you

Even a worm will turn,
Everyone has a breaking point, even the meekest and most unassuming individuals will eventually stand up for themselves

And its crying out for revenge,
Everybody desires revenge when they feel wronged or threatened

All the children will burn
Innocent people will be hurt and destroyed in the fire of your vengeance

When you set them on a fire dance,
You intentionally put them in harm's way and make them dance in the flames of your anger

A bitter life romance, surviving just for revenge.
Your motivation in life is to survive the misery and pain you have experienced, using revenge as your guiding force

Ready to fight at the edge of a crime
You are poised and prepared to step into the fray, even if it means crossing ethical and moral boundaries

A fairy tale at first sight
At first glance, your situation seems like a storybook fantasy, but it quickly becomes a nightmare

You're deeper in it than you think you might.
The depths of your involvement in this world of violence and revenge are more profound and inescapable than you thought possible
