I SEE RED (Everybody Loves An Outlaw)

“I See Red” is a song about the intense rage and desire for revenge felt after being betrayed by a lover.

The lyrics depict a scenario where the singer confronts infidelity and envisions violent retribution.

Did you know?

The song’s title and repeated phrase, “I see red,” symbolize overwhelming anger and a loss of control, triggered by the partner’s infidelity (“After catching you with her”).

The lyrics express a complete unwillingness to forgive (“Did you really think, I’d just forgive and forget, no”) and a thirst for vengeance.

The lines “A gun to your head, head, to your head” and “Executioner style, and there won’t be no trial” vividly portray the singer’s violent fantasies.

The phrase “revenge is a dish best served cold” suggests a calculated and merciless approach to retribution, while “better sleep with one eye open tonight” creates a sense of impending doom for the unfaithful partner.

The repeated emphasis on death (“you’re better off dead”) reinforces the intensity of the singer’s wrath.
