Victime De Ma Victoire Lyrics in English Mozart L'Opéra Rock

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Victime De Ma Victoire by Mozart L'Opéra Rock from French to English.
I thought I was the chosen one
By stealing my story
But I lost myself to win
To win without virtue
You triumph without glory
Honor's worth more than the trophy
It's ridiculous
No scruples
You gotta triumph
If they idolize you
No scruples
Let yourself be carried
But the mirror
Avoids my gaze
So it won't see
That I'm a victim of my victory
Yeah, I admit I'm beaten
By the taste of power
Reached the top without rising
I'm an odd prince
With trivial talent
Make others love me without loving
It's ridiculous
No scruples
You gotta triumph
If they idolize you
No scruples
Let yourself be carried
But the mirror
Avoids my gaze
So it won't see
That I'm a victim of my victory
Victim of my victory
Pa, pa pa
Pa, pa pa
Pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa
Victim of my victory
My glory is trivial
It's ridiculous
No scruples
You gotta triumph
If they idolize you
No scruples
Let yourself be carried
But the mirror
Avoids my gaze
So it won't see
That I'm a victim of my victory
Victim of my victory
It's ridiculous
No scruples
Why triumph
If they idolize you
No scruples
Why carry me
But my pride
Is in mourning
So I won't see anymore
That I'm a victim
Of my victory
Victim of my victory
Victim of my victory
I lost for history

SONG MEANING

“Victime De Ma Victoire” dives into the glittering but hollow world of a man who reached the summit of fame only to discover it is a lonely peak.

Through punchy lines like “Je suis victime de ma victoire” and “L’honneur vaut mieux que le trophée,” the singer admits that he chased applause without conscience, traded integrity for quick triumph, and now feels trapped by the very success he craved. Mirrors avoid his gaze, crowds adore an image he no longer recognizes, and the trophies that once gleamed now feel dérisoires—ridiculously small against the cost of his soul. The song is an energetic confession that warns: if you sprint toward glory without virtue, you may win the race yet lose yourself along the way.
