Victim
COLONEL RED & C.O.N.E Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To let you know I'm ok
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
Scared and gun shots fill the halls
trapped inside these filthy stalls
Is this all
That life gave in this crystal ball
Where can I run and hide
Deep inside I do cry
I don't want to die
I can't trust what's outside
When you're the only one that's sitting
In the back of the class
You feel alone and it's the tension
Has you all in your bag
When the teacher gives assignments
You're the one to not pass
So all the other little students
Turn around and they laugh
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
I wanna shoot and start the violence
Yes it all makes me excited
They saying sorry
But they should've said that all before
Igniting all the demon
And the secrets
They keeping, I can't repeat it
My mental is orthopedic
They've broken me into pieces
These people are so conceited
Now I'm looking undefeated
Everybody under me
Because this gun made me the beast
And now I'm cloudy
People shouting
Telling me to stop the outing
Kids are crouching
Finger ouching
So I want to get to blowchin'
What have I done
I'm tweaking
Why is everyone screaming
Please tell me that I'm dreaming
I must go
I'm the reason
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
Mom I'm just calling
To let you know I'm ok
The lyrics of "Victim" by Colonel Red & C.O.N.E depict a character who doesn't feel like they fit in and is struggling with the harsh realities of life. The opening line of "Mom, I'm just calling to let you know I'm okay" sets a tone of reassurance, but as the lyrics progress, it becomes evident that the singer is not okay. The character seems to be in a dangerous environment where gunshots can be heard and feels trapped in "filthy stalls." The use of repetitive "Mom, I'm just calling" adds a sense of urgency to the song.
The character's sense of worthlessness is evident in the line "I feel worthless, is this all that life gave in this crystal ball." They feel lost and desperate, seeking a way to hide from the world around them. The use of vivid imagery like "trapped inside these filthy stalls" and "deep inside I do cry" helps to amplify just how overwhelmed the character feels. They feel like the only one left behind, isolated from their peers, and uncomfortable even in their own skin.
However, things take a turn for the worse later in the song. The character grows increasingly violent, contemplating the idea of shooting and starting violence. The lyrics suggest that the character feels like they have been pushed to this point by a society that has failed them. They feel insignificant and used by the people around them. The character's inner turmoil reaches a peak, leading to an impulse that they may soon regret.
Overall, "Victim" is a powerful commentary on the effects of isolation and loneliness on mental health. The song urges us to be more compassionate towards those who struggle to fit in and remind us of the importance of kindness and empathy. It also highlights the destructive consequences of violence, emphasizing the need for mental health awareness and support.
