Victim
Halflives Lyrics

But you don′t give a fuck
The person responsible for making the rules doesn't care about the impact those rules have on the victim

You made the rules and got me stuck
The victim is trapped in a situation created by the other person

I'm your victim and I like it, I like it, I like it
Despite being mistreated, the victim has developed an unhealthy attachment to their persecutor

I wish I knew, I wish I knew
The victim is regretful about not having seen their captor's true nature earlier in the relationship

You were a hurricane
The perpetrator caused chaos and destruction in the victim's life

You came with all your mess and look
The perpetrator brought their problems into the victim's life and made everything worse

What I got, it's everywhere, everywhere
The victim is suffering the consequences of the perpetrator's actions in all areas of their life

I guess I knew, I guess I knew
The victim had some inkling that their partner was not mentally well

You were possibly insane
The victim acknowledges that their partner was not mentally stable

You broke into my house and never
The perpetrator forced their way into the victim's life and refused to leave

Got out, don't you care, don't you care
The perpetrator does not care about the victim's well-being or desire for freedom

That you got me running for my life
The victim feels like they are in danger and need to escape, but the perpetrator is preventing them from doing so

And you lie looking in my eyes
The perpetrator is dishonest and manipulative, pretending to be concerned for the victim's welfare

I′m walking on the edge of your knife
The victim is in a precarious situation, with their well-being at the mercy of the perpetrator

I play your game and I still suck
The victim is trying to please the perpetrator and conform to their rules, but is failing

You drag me down, you drag me down
The perpetrator is pulling the victim further into their destructive lifestyle

And I think I like to let you
The victim is conflicted and unsure whether they want to continue down this path, but is also drawn to the perpetrator

I feel you from the blood inside of my mouth when I'm awake, I'm awake
The victim is haunted by the perpetrator's actions and words, even when they are trying to sleep

Believe me now, believe me now
The victim is asking others to trust their account of what has happened to them

When I say you′re see through and now I know
The victim can see through the perpetrator's lies and manipulations

That to save myself I should let it go
The victim is realizing that they need to break away from the relationship with the perpetrator for their own safety and well-being

You’re the spark and I'm the gasoline
The perpetrator is the instigator and the victim is caught up in the chaos they create

I′m the victim to your guillotine
The perpetrator holds power over the victim, who is in danger of being hurt by their actions

You push me to the edge ′cause you don′t care about me
The perpetrator is endangering the victim and does not care about the harmful consequences of their actions

Won't you end me now?
The victim would prefer to be liberated from the relationship by any means necessary

I′m your victim and I like it
The victim is in a damaging relationship and is struggling with their own feelings of attachment to the perpetrator
