Victim and Villain
Unveiling Shadows: Decoding the Narrative in Flora Fiora's 'Victim and Villain'
Lyrics
Deny the truth listen to their lies
Denial of truth, embracing falsehoods
That's not gonna serve you it's something to hide
Suppressing the reality, keeping something concealed
She may be boring and tame
Describing someone as unexciting and conventional
But she's too good for you
Asserting the person is too good for the speaker
You won't go the distance so I guess we're through
Recognizing the inability to endure challenges in the relationship
Is she asking for it?
Raising questions about consent or responsibility
Have you got something to prove?
Challenging the listener's intentions or capabilities
She deserves better
Acknowledging the woman deserves a better partner
Yeah, I know we all do
Acknowledging everyone deserves better in relationships
I know the victim but do you know the villains?
Highlighting awareness of the victim, questioning knowledge of wrongdoers
They haunt our stories and they scare the millions
Noting the impact of villains in stories, causing widespread fear
No means no, listen close, I will scream 'til everybody hears
Emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries and consent
You are you, just hold on 'til you see there's nothing to fear
Encouraging self-discovery and realizing there's nothing to fear
You know it's your guilt but it's hers to hold
Attributing guilt to the listener, placing responsibility on them
She will sit back in silence and do what she's told
Depicting a woman's compliance with silence and obedience
You scare her out of her mind and you expect her to love you
Highlighting the fear and expecting love despite causing distress
So don't act so surprised when she wants the control
Addressing the inevitability of seeking control in such situations
Is she asking for it?
Reiterating questions about consent or responsibility
Have you got something to prove?
Challenging the listener's intentions or capabilities, again
She deserves better
Reiterating the woman deserves a better partner
Yeah, I know we all do
Reiterating everyone deserves better in relationships
I know the victim but do you know the villains (villains)
Re-emphasizing awareness of the victim, questioning knowledge of wrongdoers
They haunt our stories and they scare the millions (millions)
Reiterating the impact of villains in stories, causing widespread fear
I know the victim but do you know the villains
Re-emphasizing awareness of the victim, questioning knowledge of wrongdoers
(Look what you've done)
Reflecting on the consequences of actions
They haunt our stories and they scare the millions
Reiterating the impact of villains in stories, causing widespread fear
(There's been more than one)
Noting the existence of multiple wrongdoers
No means no, listen close, I will scream 'til everybody hears
Emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries and consent, again
You are you, just hold on 'til you see there's no need to fear
Encouraging self-discovery and realizing there's no need to fear, again
I am a victim
Affirming personal victimhood
Are you the villain?
Posing a question about the listener's role as a wrongdoer
