English
What does "technicolor victim" mean?
"I feel it coming on
My thoughts become the shake in my hands
everything's fast and slow
Chaos is all I know
I'm afraid if I let it in I'll shut down
Cause I've put in the work to make sure it don't come out
Always fighting
All these voices in my head
I need you to numb me, bad
Even when you don't understand
I'll be fine with that
Rushing through my system I'm a technicolor victim just
Numb me, bad"

The words to pop songs very often are not standard English. Also, they are at least nominally poetical, which means that they do not have to make sense in any ordinary way. This "artist" is famous for his mental illness, which is what this "song" seems to be about.

- My intepretation of "technicolor victim" is that "technicolor" was the first thing that popped into his head that fits the rhythm, and "victim" just happens to rhyme with "system", sort of.
- But I take a jaundiced view of commercial pop.
