Skillet - Victorious Lyrics

Skillet Lyrics

"Victorious"

I hear them talk to me
But they're not listening
Their words are kerosene
They don't know who I am
They'd never understand
What it's like to be me

I don't wanna be here
So stuck inside
Tell me how long have I been here?
I'm losing track of time

In all this loneliness
In all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay
Tell me there's a way

High above it all (High above)
Victorious victorious
Far too long I've crawled (Far too long)
In hopelessness I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can face it all (Face it all)
Victorious victorious

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Can't change this overnight
Though heaven knows I've tried
Here I go again
I need a savior now
Someone to break me out
Who's been the place I've been

Don't wanna be forgotten
When I'm dead and gone
I just wanna be the one who
Got up and came back strong

High above it all (High above)
Victorious victorious
Far too long I've crawled (Far too long)
In hopelessness I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can face it all (Face it all)
Victorious victorious

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Help me
'Cause I'm falling
When I can't sleep, but I'm holding on
Can't face this night alone

In all this loneliness
In all this emptiness
Been stuck inside this room like a prison sentence
I'm not gonna stay
Tell me there's a way

High above it all (High above)
Victorious victorious
Far too long I've crawled (Far too long)
In hopelessness I'm over this
Don't give up on me (Don't give up on me)
Tell me you believe (Tell me you believe)
I can face it all (Face it all)
Victorious victorious

Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

Skillet's frontman explained 'Victorious' by saying, "I wanted to write a song for people who suffer from depression. I wanted to tell them that they are not alone. This song is both simultaneously sad and inspiring. Hopefully, it can encourage people to transcend the dark places they live in."

John Cooper said that this song was inspired by those who battle depression including Linkin Park's Chester Bennington, "I didn't know Chester Bennington, but I'm a huge Linkin Park fan. When he died, I couldn't believe it. So I wanted to write what I would say to him if I got the chance. That's 'Victorious'. Hopefully, it can help others get through the struggles with their own demons.”"
