Victory
Unveiling Triumph: The Walkmen's Evocative Tale of Struggle and Redemption
Lyrics
My lord, where is the thank you
Expressing a sense of gratitude, questioning the absence of acknowledgment.
That someone promised to me?
Seeking a promised thank you that has not been delivered.
My lord, where's the satisfaction
Questioning the absence of contentment or fulfillment.
So uphill for me?
Expressing the difficulty or challenges faced in achieving satisfaction.
Oh, I'd be faithful
Expressing a commitment to faithfulness and tranquility.
And I'd be serene
Emphasizing a desire for serenity despite external perceptions.
They say I lost my marbles
Addressing rumors of losing mental clarity or composure.
But they don't speak for me
Asserting independence from others' opinions about personal experiences.
Don't keep me quiet
Requesting not to be silenced, encouraging freedom of expression.
Sing me whatever you like
Openness to various expressions or songs, suggesting a willingness to listen.
Victory right beside me, yeah
Noting the presence of victory as a companion or a constant in life.
We all get even
Highlighting a sense of fairness or balance in life experiences.
And we all get wise
Acknowledging collective wisdom gained through experiences.
Take what's good for me
Choosing what is beneficial or positive for oneself.
I know what I fight
Understanding the reasons behind personal struggles and battles.
Victory right beside me
Reiterating the constant presence of victory as a companion.
There's blood all over my hands
Symbolizing guilt or responsibility through the presence of blood on hands.
Victory should be mine
Expressing a rightful claim or desire for victory.
Oh I won't string you along now
Committing to honesty and not deceiving or leading someone on.
Oh lord, where have you gone?
Questioning the absence or distance of a higher power or guidance.
I won't call that the memory
Rejecting the association with a specific memory, allowing it to fade.
Now, watch them roll off
Observing memories or experiences rolling off or fading away.
Victory right beside me
Reiterating the constant presence of victory amidst personal struggles.
There's so much blood all over my hands
Emphasizing the significant impact or consequences of personal struggles.
Victory right beside me
Reaffirming the continuous presence of victory despite challenges.
There's blood, blood on my hands
Symbolizing guilt or responsibility through the continued presence of blood on hands.
