They Made Me A Criminal
Rising from Injustice: Heidi Schjetne's Anthem of Resilience
Lyrics
They made me a criminal. Yeah
Expressing that external forces have labeled the speaker as a criminal.
Said I'm a fraud. Yeah
Indicating that accusations of fraud have been directed towards the speaker.
They made me think I was
Suggesting that the speaker was manipulated into believing something false.
We are the victims of Norway. Yeah
Claiming victimhood, possibly relating to a negative experience in Norway.
They sent us to jail. Yeah
Stating that the speaker and others were sent to jail as a consequence.
But we were innocent
Asserting innocence despite being incarcerated.
But what they did won`t bother me. Although I'm fragile cant you see. But put some joy Back into my life. Please take away that awful knife
Reflecting on resilience despite personal fragility, seeking joy and relief from pain.
They made me so anxious. Yeah
Expressing heightened anxiety caused by the actions of others.
Frightened and scared. Yeah
Conveying fear and trepidation due to the circumstances imposed on the speaker.
For what they did to me
Referencing a negative impact on the speaker as a result of unspecified actions.
And I have been crying. Yeah
Acknowledging emotional distress through the act of crying.
Afraid of losing my children. Yeah
Expressing fear of losing custody or connection with the speaker's children.
If I were sent to jail
Imagining a scenario where imprisonment could lead to separation from the speaker's children.
But what you did wont bother me. Because I am strong rely on me
Affirming inner strength and self-reliance despite external challenges.
But put some joy back into my life. Please take away this awful knife
Requesting the restoration of joy and removal of emotional pain.
So let the wind take my brain. Let it vanish my pain. And let me start
Metaphorically suggesting a desire for mental renewal and a fresh start, facilitated by the wind.
All over again
Expressing a willingness to begin anew despite past hardships.
