Revenge
Unveiling Betrayal: Plain White T's Powerful Tale of Retribution
Lyrics
By now you should know
Addressing someone, suggesting they should be aware of something.
Everything you say
Highlighting that everything the person says will have consequences.
Can and will be used
Warning that the person's words can be used against them in the future.
Against you someday
Emphasizing the potential repercussions of the person's actions or words.
I've got the microphone
Asserting control over the conversation by having the microphone.
So don't go too far
Advising the person not to go too far, implying impending revelation.
'Cause I'm gonna tell the whole world
Expressing the intent to disclose the person's true nature to the world.
How you really are
Indicating the determination to reveal the person's real character.
I don't really care
Expressing a lack of concern for the person's feelings or reaction.
How you're gonna feel
Disregarding how the person will feel about the forthcoming revelation.
'Cause I've already tried
Having attempted to provide genuine emotions or experiences previously.
To give you something real
Implying past efforts to offer something authentic or real to the person.
One night you're begging me to stay
Describing a situation where the person pleaded to stay on one night.
The next night, you push me away
Contrasting with the previous night, the person now pushes away.
I don't need you promising to give it up
Rejecting the person's promises, indicating it is too late for reconciliation.
It's too late, 'cause now I'm giving up
Deciding to give up on the relationship or situation.
Revenge, revenge, got my revenge,
Repeated mention of revenge, emphasizing the theme of retaliation.
Go ahead and get mad
Encouraging the person to get angry, signaling indifference to their reaction.
Never talk to me again
Stating a willingness to cut off communication permanently.
I don't even care 'cause
Expressing a lack of concern because the speaker has achieved revenge.
I got my revenge
Reiterating the satisfaction of having successfully enacted revenge.
Revenge, revenge, got my revenge
Repetition of the theme of revenge for emphasis.
By now you should know
Recurrence of the warning about the consequences of the person's words.
Everything you say
Reiteration of the idea that everything said will be used against the person.
Can and will be used
Emphasizing the potential future use of the person's words against them.
Against you someday
Repeating the concept of consequences for the person's actions or words.
I've got the microphone
Reassertion of control by having the microphone in the speaker's possession.
So don't go too far
Reiterating advice not to go too far, preparing for disclosure.
'Cause I'm gonna tell the whole world
Reaffirming the intention to reveal the person's true nature to the world.
How you really are
Restating the determination to expose the person's real character.
So go ahead and get mad
Encouraging the person to get angry again, signaling indifference.
Never talk to me again
Reiterating the willingness to cut off communication permanently.
I don't even care 'cause
Expressing indifference to the person's feelings due to having revenge.
I got my revenge,
Repetition of the theme of revenge, reinforcing the speaker's satisfaction.
Revenge, revenge, got my revenge,
Further emphasis on the successful accomplishment of revenge.
Revenge, revenge, got my revenge,
Continued repetition of the theme of revenge for impact.
Revenge, revenge
Final repetition of the word "revenge" to conclude the lyrics.
