Victim

Bladee's song 'Victim' delves into the intricate and often self-destructive patterns of behavior that many individuals find themselves trapped in. The repeated phrase 'I love to play the victim, I love to pass the blame' highlights a recurring theme of self-victimization and the tendency to avoid personal responsibility. This refrain suggests a cycle where the protagonist finds comfort in blaming external factors for their problems, rather than confronting their own role in their struggles.

The lyrics also touch on the allure of forbidden actions and the internal conflict that arises from them. The lines 'I made a promise not to eat forbidden fruits' and 'I really know I shouldn't do it, but I've got to' reflect a struggle with temptation and the difficulty of adhering to self-imposed rules. The metaphor of forbidden fruits, reminiscent of the biblical story of Adam and Eve, underscores the universal nature of this internal battle between desire and discipline.

Bladee's introspective lyrics are further emphasized by the repeated acknowledgment of the need to 'get a grip' and the admission of being 'in too deep.' This suggests a recognition of the destructive patterns but also a feeling of helplessness in breaking free from them. The song's melancholic tone and repetitive structure mirror the cyclical nature of these behaviors, creating a haunting reflection on the complexities of self-sabotage and the human condition.
