Revenge Is Sour
Sour Redemption: Unveiling the Bitter Truth in Maria Doyle Kennedy's Lyrics
Lyrics
I got you back you little creep
I've got your back, you little creep
Once more the bottom of the heap
Once more at the bottom of the heap
So why do I feel so shit
Feeling terrible despite the revenge
It's knowing that I'm reduced to this
Feeling bad because I'm reduced to this revenge
They told me it would be so sweet
Repeating expectations that revenge would be satisfying
They told me it would be so sweet
-They told me it would be so sweet
-Revenge is sour, Revenge is sour
Reiterating that revenge is not sweet but sour
Are you shedding your skin again
Questioning if the person is changing again
Are you being my friend again
Asking if they are pretending to be a friend again
Are you hoping I have forgiven
Wondering if they expect forgiveness
The luckless place that you have driven me to
Describing the unfortunate situation caused by the person
O No Revenge on you
-Not quite the witch I'd like to be
Expressing a desire to be a different kind of person
My spit in an avalanche of hate
Symbolizing disdain with spit in a metaphorical avalanche of hate
Blood for blood leaves all dead
Emphasizing the destructive nature of seeking revenge
Like the filthy mess that is your head
Comparing the person's mind to a messy, filthy state
They told me it would be so sweet
Repeating the expectation that revenge would be sweet
They told me it would be so sweet
-They told me it would be so sweet
-Revenge is sour, Revenge is sour
Reiterating that revenge is sour
Are you shedding your skin again
Questioning if the person is changing again
Are you being my friend again
Asking if they are pretending to be a friend again
Are you hoping I have forgiven
Wondering if they expect forgiveness
The luckless place that you have driven me to
Reiterating that there is no revenge on the person
No Revenge on you
