"villain(?)"

DESCRIPTION: rushed nonsense, no wonder i feel unsatisfied. meant to be about the idea of "if everyone thinks they're doing the right thing, but then one of them gets condemned anyway, how is anyone meant to know if they're the villain or not? it's seemingly random, it's pointless, and an un-empathetic witch hunt" but i havne't distilled the idea enough yet sorry
be yourself and don't blame yourself because you're worthwhile, but you said it to the villains too.. yet then you say, "you shouldn't be so confident?" you were the one who told people to believe in themselves... what's wrong with you?

[ verse ]
i tried to be a hero but it didn't go as planned
as i see what i've done looks bad (bad)
because i know my honest thoughts will be used against me
because the public thoughts have changed now that i've said it

there's cameras on your back, cameras on your back
if you say the wrong thing they'll say the hidden rules they had
they'll wait for you to do it, they'll wait for you to fall
and then when they catch you, they'll say you're not allowed to scream

[ chorus ]
now who's going to sing for the villain
that i will one day become?
because i know there's always someone to blame
and it might just be me

everyone says they're innocent, 'cuz they really think they're innocent
but ultimately, there's always a guilty culprit in every single case
and i know when the public turns, it's probably me

[ verse ]
these songs that burn with fury that i used to understand
as i listen back now i feel empty (empty)
because i know the singers who i once found comfort in
tomorrow will be singing a testimony as to how i have sinned

i didn't mean to do it, i tried to play the hero
but it turns out there is no difference between good and evil
for the person who commits it, the only difference is
whether other people like it or they think you should be killed

[ chorus ]
so who's going to sing for the villains?
because when that day comes
i'll be crying out in pain
with not even those old vocaloid songs

so who's going to sing for me, the unempathisable villain
when i'm alone in my silent hole that i dug of my own righteousness
no, a silent hole you dug out of your blindness

[ bridge ]
because after all, any well-written villain
would think they're doing the right thing
can you really call such a generous person
a "villain" at all?

because after all, any well-written villain
could be anybody who thinks they have a justified cause
can you really call such a generous person
inhuman at all?

[ chorus ]
now who's going to sing for the villain
that i will one day become?
because i know there's always someone to blame
and it might just be me

everyone says they're innocent, 'cuz they really think they're innocent
but ultimately, there's always a guilty culprit in every single case
and i know when the public turns, it's probably me


even if none of us did anything wrong,
one of us has got to be blamed
and it's always the one who has the
weirdo name

like me
