Victim or the Crime (Graham/Weir) (Key of C# minor. 4/4 time.) Intro.: | | | | Verse 1: B5 | B5 | Patience runs out on the junkie B5 | B5 | The dark side hires another soul. Bsus2 Bm | G/B E7/B | Did he steal his fate or earn it? Esus4 E+5 | E5 E6 | Was he force-fed did he learn it? C | C | B5 | B5 || Whatever happened to his precious self-control? (Same chords as verse 1) Like him I’m tired of try’n’ to heal This tom-cat heart with which I’m blessed. Is destruction loving’s twin? Must I choose to lose or win? Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed. Verse 2: A9 | A/G# | These are the horns of the dilemma A | A/G# | What truth this proof against all lies? When sacred fails before profane D Csus2 | A5 Go | The wisest man is deemed insane. C5 | C | E5 | E5 || Even the purest of romantics compromise. Chorus: C#m | C#m | What fixation feeds this fever C#m | C#m | As the full moon pales and climbs? C#m F#m | C#m A | Am I living truth or rank deceiver? C#m F#m | C#m A | Am I the victim or the crime C#m F#m | C#m A | Am I the victim or the crime C#m F#m | C#m || Am I the victim or the crime or the crime? (Same chords as verse 2) And so I wrestle with the angel To see who’ll reap the seeds I sow. Am I the driver or the driven? Will I be damned to be forgiven? Is there anybody here but me who needs to know (Chorus chords) What it is that feeds this fever As the full moon pales and climbs? Am I living truth or rank deceiver? Am I the victim or the crime Am I the victim or the crime Am I the victim or the crime or the crime? Repeat and fade Enjoy! Jolie

Cette chanson évoque la lutte intérieure d'un individu face à ses démons et à ses choix. Elle questionne la nature des décisions que nous prenons : sont-elles vraiment le fruit de notre libre arbitre, ou sommes-nous simplement à la merci de notre destin ? L'artiste parle de la douleur et de l'errance qui accompagnent souvent cette quête de vérité personnelle, se demandant s'il est victime des circonstances ou s'il porte la responsabilité de sa propre chute. Le contexte de la chanson semble refléter un cheminement difficile, une introspection sur les relations et les compromis que l'on est parfois obligé de faire. Cette lutte peut paraître universelle, touchant à des thèmes de l’amour, de la perte de soi et du désir de compréhension dans un monde parfois confus et complexe.
