What does that song mean?

Songs about Revenge

It's a dish best served cold, some say, but we think a dash of Sriracha sauce and perhaps some roast garlic garnish couldn't hurt. It's about getting back at whoever done you wrong, which is a deeply personal matter. So why not give it a personal touch? Write out names with a big fat marker on a notepad and cross them off one at a time. Or charge at them on your steamroller, bearing down on them even as they shout their apologies. "I'm sorry I ate your fish, OK?" Nope, not good enough, too late now.

These are songs about vengeance, both claimed and intended. They don't tend to have sunny outlooks or positive attitudes. But if you're here, you're probably not in the mood to listen to sappy lovey pop bubblegum anyway.
