1. A hiphop/reggae band from the Netherlands.
2. A duo from South Korea.
Postmen was a Dutch band that mixed hiphop with reggae. It received just about every prize there is to win in the Netherlands.
Postmen was started in 1993 by Remon Stotijn a.k.a. The Anonymous Mis and Gus Bear a.k.a. G-Boah. Later Micheal Parkinson joined the group. The name Postmen derives from the song 'African Postmen' by Burning Spear. During their existence they recorded three albums: 'Documents' (1998), 'Revival' (2001) and 'Era' (2003). The first one was commercially the most succesful, resulting in several hits, of which 'Cocktail' was the greatest. When The Anonymous Mis moved to the U.S.A. in 2005, Postmen came to an end. In February 2006 The Anonumous Mis restarted the band on his own, aptly renaming it into a singular form: 'Postman'.

Postmen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you
Tension is building inside steadily
(Everyone feels so far away from me)
Happy thoughts forcing their way out of me
(Trying not to break but I'm so tired of this deceit)
(Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet)
(All I ever think about is this)
(All the tiring time between)
(And how trying to put my trust in you just takes so much out of me)
Take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you
I won't waste myself on you
You
You
Waste myself on you
You
You
I'll take everything from the inside and throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you
Everything from the inside and just throw it all away
'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you
You
You
The lyrics of Postmen’s song Victim seem to be describing someone who has been hurt in the past and is struggling to trust again. The first verse talks about the difficulty in finding someone to trust, as everyone seems far away and deceitful. The imagery of “happy thoughts sift through dust and the lies” is a powerful way of expressing the difficulty finding anything positive in the midst of all the pain and deception.
The second verse builds on this concept, with the tension building inside and the struggle to keep going in the face of all this pain. The repetition of “Every time I try to make myself get back up on my feet” speaks to the idea of resilience and perseverance, but also the exhaustion that can come with constantly trying to rebuild trust.
The chorus is the most impactful part of the song, with the repeated phrase “Take everything from the inside and throw it all away / 'Cause I swear for the last time I won't trust myself with you” emphasizing the importance of self-protection and not allowing oneself to be hurt again. The use of the word “swear” also implies a strong determination not to let this happen again.
Overall, the lyrics of Victim are a powerful expression of the pain and difficulty that comes with trusting again after being hurt. It speaks to the importance of self-protection and the struggle to find anything positive in the midst of all the pain and deceit.
