Victoria
Victoria's Dance of Innocence and Indifference
Lyrics
Stripping flowers at pedal pace
Engaging in a slow, deliberate process of removing flower petals
Twirling blur of legs, legs and lace
A fast-moving, blurred image of legs and lace (symbolizing movement and beauty)
Victoria, she loves her name
Victoria takes pride in her name
Running flushed our faces red
Physical exertion causing redness in the face
Daring her to kiss, to kiss my head
Challenging Victoria to show affection by kissing the speaker's head
Victoria, she loves her name
Reiteration of Victoria's fondness for her name
Bathing in her innocence
Enjoying Victoria's purity and naivety
Then drowned in her indifference
Feeling overwhelmed by Victoria's lack of interest or emotional involvement
Victoria
Calling out Victoria's name
I left her on her frozen route
Leaving Victoria behind as the speaker matures while Victoria remains unchanged
I grew up while she, she grew out
As the speaker grows, Victoria doesn’t evolve in the same way
Victoria, she loves her name
Reiterating Victoria's attachment to her name
A social climb by offering love
Using love as a means to climb socially
'Til everyone was inside of
Until everyone became involved with Victoria
Victoria
Re-emphasizing Victoria's affection for her name
Loves
A repetition indicating Victoria’s strong attachment to her name
Now my love won't make amends
Realizing that love won't repair the relationship after a significant break
You cut the cord on which your life depends
Victoria ends the crucial connection that sustains her life
Victoria, she loves her name
Victoria's continued affection for her name despite the situation
Like cheating in a children's game
Comparing the situation to cheating in a child's game—victory feels hollow
Victory doesn't taste the same
Success or achievement doesn’t bring satisfaction for Victoria
Yet victoria, she loves her name
Despite the dissatisfaction, Victoria maintains her love for her name
Victoria
Reiteration of Victoria's attachment to her name
Loves
Reiteration of Victoria's strong affection for her name
