“VIctimhood” is the seventh song on Fossora, and the second longest song in the album after “Ancestress”. Characterized by an eerie and cavernous instrumental resembling a death march in the first half, the song then evolves into a chaotic layering of brass melodies and vocals.
Björk wrote this so...
[Verse 1]
Victimhood
I heed the call
To step out of
Victimhood
Has a saintly glow
Holier than thou
It erased my shadow (Shadow)
[Chorus]
Only bird's-eye view
Can help me transcend
This archetype
[Verse 2]
Oh, who am I
That this has happened to?
Victimhood
Rejection, it left a void
That is never satisfied
Sunk into victimhood
Felt the world owed me love
[Chorus]
Only bird's-eye view
Can help me transgress
Out of this hole
[Bridge]
Who am I
That this has happened to?
To transgress us beyond our tragedy
Took one for the team
I sacrificed myself to save us
I rejected myself
Sacrificed myself
I felt sorry for myself
To transgress us out of this tragedy
I sacrificed myself
Took one for the team
To transgress us (To save us)
Beyond our tragedy (To save us)
I sacrificed myself
[Outro]
Victimhood
Victimhood
I heed a call out
Of victimhood
Out of
Out of
Of victimhood
Here I go now
