Victoria
Ema and the Ghosts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Victoria approached me with a fire in her eyes
And I swear and I swear I was burning alive.
And now you're crying wolf out to the moon,
Yeah, is anybody there,
Or am I just as scared as you?
And now you've given me a mission to do,
I've got to rearrange the stars so that they're not as far from you.
You are certainly my poison of choice
And I know you've had your fair share of boys
But you are certainly my poison of choice
And I when I drink you down,
My heart makes a sound like...This!

Victoria approached me with a fire in her eyes
And I swear and I swear, I was burning alive.
You are causing me physical pain,
It's like you're handing me a knife and from my insides
And without any shame

You are certainly my poison of choice,
And I know you've had your fair share of boys
But you are certainly my poison of choice
And when I drink you down,
My heart makes a sound like...This!

I came down without any sense of conviction, yeah
I couldn't tell if you were a bitch or totally bitchin'

Victoria has been crying, I can see it in her eyes
And a part of me is sad, but a part of me is having such a good time
I know that likely I am at fault
Oh but what the hell, I can't even tell if she's putting me on.

You are certainly my poison of choice,
And I know you've had your fair share of boys
But you are certainly my poison of choice




And when I drink you down,
My heart makes a sound like...This!

Victoria approached me with a fire in her eyes
Victoria came to me with intense passion and energy in her eyes


And I swear and I swear I was burning alive.
I was so consumed with desire for Victoria that I felt like I was on fire


And now you're crying wolf out to the moon,
Now you are falsely calling out for help or attention


Yeah, is anybody there,
Are there any real listeners or helpers out there?


Or am I just as scared as you?
Maybe I am just as scared and uncertain as you are


And now you've given me a mission to do,
You have tasked me with a significant challenge


I've got to rearrange the stars so that they're not as far from you.
I must find a way to make the impossible possible and get closer to you


You are certainly my poison of choice
You are the kind of toxic and addictive influence that I am irresistibly attracted to


And I know you've had your fair share of boys
I understand that you have had many past lovers


But you are certainly my poison of choice
But for me, you are the most dangerous and irresistible choice


And I when I drink you down,
When I let myself get too involved with you,


My heart makes a sound like...This!
I feel a rush of intense and overwhelming emotions


You are causing me physical pain,
Your presence is so intense that it is physically painful


It's like you're handing me a knife and from my insides
It feels like you are inflicting a painful wound on my inner self


And without any shame
You are doing this without any regard for how it affects me


I came down without any sense of conviction, yeah
I was not sure of myself when I first got involved with Victoria


I couldn't tell if you were a bitch or totally bitchin'
I wasn't sure if Victoria was unpleasant or amazing


Victoria has been crying, I can see it in her eyes
I can tell from Victoria's eyes that she has been upset and crying


And a part of me is sad, but a part of me is having such a good time
I have mixed emotions about Victoria's tears, but overall I am still enjoying myself


I know that likely I am at fault
I understand that I am probably responsible for Victoria's tears and sadness


Oh but what the hell, I can't even tell if she's putting me on.
But despite this, I am not sure if Victoria is just playing games with me
