Victoria
Nathan Wagner Lyrics

Well I was sitting in my room
The singer was alone in his room.

She said to me
An unknown person spoke to the singer.

As this cloud of darkness covered everything
A feeling of darkness loomed over everything.

And I guess I let it get the best of me
The artist let the darkness get the best of him.

See I was letting it all in, it felt like ecstasy
The artist was indulging in the darkness, which felt like a pleasurable drug-like experience.

And I knew it was all wrong, but it just felt so sweet
Although the singer recognized the wrongness of his actions, he found them too pleasurable to stop.

And the guilt it settled in, but I just had to see what this world darkness really could have for me
Despite feeling guilty, the singer felt compelled to explore the world of darkness and see what it had to offer.

'Cause this world of light is getting less appealing
The artist was becoming disillusioned with the world of light.

Ooh, Victoria, Don't you take another step
The song addresses a person named Victoria, urging her not to take any further negative actions.

Ooh, Victoria, You'll be jumping off that ledge
Victoria is contemplating harmful behavior or suicide.

'Cause the first will lead to more, And you'll be stuck in there again, And I know you'll feel remorse
The singer warns Victoria that her actions will lead to more negative consequences and guilt.

When you're imprisoned there my friend, Ooh, Victoria, Don't you let the darkness in
The darkness represents a negative state of being that the song urges Victoria to avoid and not let into her life.

Well when the substance started out, She explained to me, I was nothing more than a desperate girl tryna' be something
The song describes Victoria as someone who started using substances as a coping mechanism and to try to find a sense of identity or purpose.

And I really loved what they did, Until he, Took my hand, Had me loving for some cash
Victoria enjoyed using substances until she met someone who introduced her to harmful behavior for money.

But at least I can, Get my couple grams
Victoria feels that substance use is a way for her to cope and get by.

Victoria, don't you know, That you can make things right
The song encourages Victoria that it is possible for her to turn her life around and create a positive path.

Just a girl, stuck in this world, Tryna' find purpose in just anything she can
Victoria is portrayed as feeling lost and searching for a sense of direction in life.

But she claims, that it's too late, Too much pain, she'll never be the same
Victoria feels that it is too late for her to turn her life around and that the pain she has experienced has fundamentally changed her.

There is, hope for the hopeless, Rest for the weak
The song introduces the concept that there is hope and rest for those who are struggling or suffering.

In the one that really gave us, everything
The song suggests that this hope and rest can be found in a higher power or divine source.

He said, come why don't you follow me, And I'll give you freedom from demons, And eternity
The song suggests that following this higher power can result in freedom from negative influences and eternal peace.

Victoria, won't you please come down, From that ledge, I promise light is found, And darkness fades, Don't leave my friend
The song pleads with Victoria to not engage in harmful behavior and offers hope that light can be found in her life.

So please, just please, Don't you leave like this, 'Cause there's so much more, Than this closed door, Don't you, let this end
The song urges Victoria to not give up on life or on seeking a positive path forward, and emphasizes that there is more to life than what she has experienced so far.

Ooh, Victoria, Why you jumping off that ledge, 'Cause the first will lead to more, And you'll be stuck in there again, And I know you'll feel remorse, When you're imprisoned there my friend, Ooh, Victoria, Why'd you let the darkness in
The song repeats its warning to Victoria not to engage in harmful behavior and reminds her that this negative cycle will only lead to more pain and regret.
