Red Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1: Kylie Cantrall]
I'm a rebel, I'm a menace, I'm a one-girl riot
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Slippin' through the shadows like I'm ultraviolet
Yeah, yeah
Hearts on the walls, but no love in these streets
Appetite for destruction, a girl's gotta eat, yeah
Devil on my shoulder and it won't be quiet
Yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Kylie Cantrall]
I'm on a path of destruction
This is gonna be fun
[Chorus: Kylie Cantrall]
Set it off, go berserk
Tonight I light it up like fireworks
Burn it down, 'til all they're seeing now is
Red, Red, Red, Red, Red
[Post-Chorus: Alex Boniello]
(Woah, woah-oh)
(Woah, woah-oh)
(Woah, woah-oh)
Soldiers at the ready? (Sir, yes, sir)
The Queen is not very friendly (That's for sure)
[Verse 2: Kylie Cantrall]
It's criminal how you follow the crown
Fists in the air, boots on the ground
I hear the sound and it's getting loud
Yellin' "Red, Red, Red"
I'm breaking in, call the guards, raise the alarm
Princess of Hearts, lit after dark
Off with their heads, leave 'em for dead
Seein' Red, Red, Red
[Pre-Chorus: Kylie Cantrall]
I'm on a path of destruction
They gon' think I'm on one
[Chorus: Kylie Cantrall]
Set it off, go berserk
Tonight, I light it up like fireworks
Tear it down, then paint this town
Red, Red, Red, Red
I don't want my life ruled by some Queen
Look into my eyes, see the fire in me
Burn it down, 'til all they're seeing now is
Red, Red, Red, Red, Red
[Verse 3: Alex Boniello]
Up all night (Right, left, right)
Never question orders (Or we'll pay the price)
Protect the Queen's borders (Remember what she said)
It's either off with their heads (Or it's off with our heads)
Get the girl, get the girl
Get the girl, get the girl (Woah, woah-oh)
She's painting our whole world (She's painting our whole world)
She's painting our whole world, Red
[Chorus: Kylie Cantrall]
I don't want my life ruled by some Queen
Look into my eyes, see the fire in me
Burn it down, 'til all they're seeing now is
Red, Red, Red, Red, Red
[Outro: Alex Boniello & Kylie Cantrall]
(Woah, woah)
Off with their head, Red
(Woah, woah)
Off with their head, Red
(Woah, woah)
Off with their head, Red
[Verse 1: Kylie Cantrall]
In the first verse, Kylie Cantrall establishes herself as a rebellious figure, describing herself as a "rebel," "menace," and a "one-girl riot." The imagery of "slippin' through the shadows like I'm ultraviolet" suggests stealth and unpredictability. References to "Hearts on the walls, but no love in these streets" and "Appetite for destruction" paint a picture of a world devoid of compassion and driven by chaos. The presence of the "Devil on my shoulder" symbolizes inner conflict and the temptation to defy norms and expectations.
[Chorus: Kylie Cantrall]
The chorus amplifies the theme of rebellion and empowerment with the command to "Set it off, go berserk" and the declaration of lighting up the night "like fireworks." The repeated use of "Red, Red, Red" not only signifies a color but also embodies intense emotions, defiance, and the desire to stand out and be noticed.
[Verse 3: Alex Boniello]
Alex Boniello's verse shifts the focus to a supporting role, emphasizing loyalty and obedience to authority ("Never question orders"). The reference to protecting "the Queen's borders" and the consequences of disobedience ("It's either off with their heads / Or it's off with our heads") underscores the high stakes of defiance within the narrative.
