Victor
Prinze George Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She needs you to steer; she's hungover
He needs you to hear; listen closer
It's time to come down
And all of the things you've accomplished
They cover the length of your office
Where I am the wall -- worn out, worthless
Victor, you are not who you said you
Who you said you were
When we met
Winner, you are losing your loved ones
Oh, your loved ones
Chip by chip, bet by bet
With eyes on the road, she is flying
Away from your touch, she is shying
I miss you so much, I am dying
I can't make a sound
Oh Victor
Oh Victor
Victor, you are not who you said you
Who you said you were
When we met
Winner, you are losing your loved ones
Oh, your loved ones
Chip by chip, bet by bet
The song "Victor" by Prinze George is a complex look into the struggles of a successful individual who is being pulled in different directions by those around them. The opening line, "You made a career of composure," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer has built a life around remaining calm under pressure, but the people in their life are depending on them in different ways.
The chorus emphasizes the disconnect between who Victor presents himself as and who he truly is. The repeated refrain, "Victor, you are not who you said you were when we met," hints at a deception or mask that he has been wearing. The next line, "Winner, you are losing your loved ones," adds depth to this conflict. Despite his success and accomplishments, Victor is losing the people around him because he is not able to meet their needs.
The verses paint a vivid picture of the specific struggles faced by those around Victor. The first verse describes a woman who needs him to "steer" because she is hungover. The second describes a man who needs Victor to "listen closer." These small moments of role reversal reveal the weight that Victor carries in his professional and personal life. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, with the line "I miss you so much, I am dying / I can't make a sound" expressing the deep loneliness that may be felt by someone in Victor's position.
Overall, "Victor" is a powerful and nuanced exploration of the pressures faced by successful individuals and the toll it can take on their relationships.

He needs you to hear; listen closer
Someone close to you is in need of your attention and wants to be heard, so you need to focus and actively listen to what they have to say
It's time to come down
It's time to stop hiding behind your facade of composure and face reality
And all of the things you've accomplished
You have achieved a lot in your life so far
They cover the length of your office
Your accomplishments are so numerous that they take up a lot of space in your workspace
Where I am the wall -- worn out, worthless
In contrast to your success, I feel stuck and useless
I lean on the ground
I am utterly defeated, feeling like I've hit rock bottom
Victor, you are not who you said you
You are not living up to the image of yourself that you've projected to others
Who you said you were
You are not the person that you claimed to be
When we met
At the time we first met
Winner, you are losing your loved ones
Despite your success, you are pushing away those closest to you
Oh, your loved ones
The people who care about you the most
Chip by chip, bet by bet
You are slowly and steadily losing these people, as if each action you take is a bet that you are losing
With eyes on the road, she is flying
Your partner is focused on moving forward and progressing in life
Away from your touch, she is shying
Your partner is growing distant from you, avoiding physical contact
I miss you so much, I am dying
I am in so much pain from the distance between us
I can't make a sound
I feel completely unable to express myself or communicate with you
Oh Victor
Oh, how far you've strayed from who you claimed to be
Oh Victor
Oh, how much your loved ones are hurting because of it
