about

Play the Victim by Her Burden is a gripping dive into the murky waters of toxic relationships. The lyrics narrate a story of two people caught in a destructive cycle where one assumes the role of the victim, while the other reluctantly becomes the villain. This alternative rock / pop-punk inspired song delves deep into the intricacies of manipulation, emotional turmoil, and the quest for authenticity amidst deception. The song’s lyrics expose the emotional toll such a relationship can take on the two people involved. As the track unfolds, it becomes a powerful anthem of self-realisation and the need to break free from an unhealthy relationship. "Play the Victim" captivates with its evocative melody, passionate vocals and anthemic instrumentation,
showcasing Her Burden's ability to deliver emotionally charged music. The song promises to resonate deeply with listeners as they navigate their own journeys through the complexities of romantic relationships.

lyrics

You can play the victim if you like
And I’ll play the villain it’ll be so thrilling
You can spin the truth so that you’re right
When you’re numb to feeling it can be so chilling
Cause all of your scars
Won’t get you very far
When you’re not who you wanna be
But you’re not quite who you are
Your anxieties
Cloud your view of me
But you won’t see
You can play the victim if you like
And I’ll play the villain it’ll be so thrilling
You can spin the truth so that you’re right
When you’re numb to feeling it can be so chilling
Cause all of the stars
Don't lead to where you are
When you’re not where you wanna be
But you’re not quite where you are
Your past tragedies
Cloud your view of me
But you won’t see
You can play the victim if you like
And I’ll play the villain it’ll be so thrilling
You can spin the truth so that you’re right
When you’re numb to feeling it can be so chilling
When your out here on your own
And theres no more room to grow
But you don't know
You’ve got to let it go
You can play the victim if you like
And I’ll play the villain it’ll be so thrilling
You can spin the truth so that you’re right
When you’re numb to feeling it can be so chilling
(You can play the victim if you like)
Cause all of your scars
Won’t get you very far
(You can spin the truth so that you’re right)
When you’re not who you wanna be
But you’re not quite who you are
(You can play the victim if you like)
Your anxieties
Cloud your view of me
But you won’t see
