Victor Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let them all sound the sirens of the war
Cause It doesn't matter what anyone says
Just as long as my heart is yours
Even when life isn't fair
It just keeps on getting better with you
You're the star in my sky
You're the reason my son wants to shine
And I swear before God
Please say I do
With a promise you'll always be mine
I have learned
From my mistakes I know
There are just certain things I won't do
Don't you ever think
You can take my heart for granted
Cause I won't make it easy for you
If we can learn as we grow
Then together we will both make it through
You're the star in my sky
The moon in my eyes
You're the reason my son wants to shine
And I swear before God
Please say I do
And I promise
You will always be mine
Though problems may
Get in our way
I know we'll stay together
And if we try
Love will provide
All we need in this life to survive
You're the star in my sky
The moon in my eyes
You're the reason my son wants to shine
And I swear before God
Please say I do
With a promise
You'll always be mine
With a promise you will always be
The lyrics to Victor's song Promise seem to be about someone who is stuck in a cycle of addiction or self-destructive behavior and is struggling to break free. The repeated lines of "one more glass," "a million more days," and "one more smoke" suggest that the person is relying on these vices to cope with their problems, but ultimately they are not helping. The call to "break the mold" and "break the promise you made" may be a reference to a previous attempt to quit or change their behavior that didn't work out. The repeated refrain of "seek the world now, don't look back, make your promise today" implies that the person needs to take action and make a change if they want to escape their current situation.
The second half of the song seems to be a conversation between two people, with one pleading for the other not to give up on them and the other feeling trapped and resentful. The lines "what if I wasn't so scared? Why can't I be brave?" suggest that the person recognizes that they need to make a change, but is afraid to take the leap. The lines "you never gave me what I craved" and "what you want, my dead life to live" imply that there may be some underlying resentment or unfulfilled expectations in the relationship that are contributing to the person's struggles.
Overall, the lyrics to Promise seem to be about the struggle to break free from a self-destructive cycle, whether that be addiction, unhealthy relationships, or other negative patterns of behavior. The repeated refrain to "seek the world now" and "make your promise today" encourages the listener to take action and make a change, even if it is scary or difficult.
