Lyrics
[INTRO] Yeah…
You ever get so close to your goal
that it stops feeling exciting and starts feeling like overtime?
That’s Victory Road respectfully
[VERSE 1] Finally made it to Victory Road physically
Mentally?
Brother I been checked out since gym seven honestly
Every trainer in here built like a final exam
Meanwhile I’m surviving off vending machine snacks and stubbornness
Repels running low again tragically
Whole cave smell like stress and poor planning actually
My team exhausted too
You can tell
Even Charizard looking at me like:
> “Bro we need help.”
And why every puzzle in this cave personal?
Moving boulders while fighting for my life emotionally and directional
I thought getting close would feel victorious
Instead I feel like an unpaid intern with battle scars and trust issues
[HOOK] Victory Road burnout
Almost at the dream
Funny how success start hurting near the end of things
Victory Road burnout
Still dragging myself forward
Running on caffeine, Revives, and emotional support
I got doubt
I got stress
I got one Full Restore left
Victory Road burnout
That’s the energy
Too far to quit
Too tired to keep believing fully
[VERSE 2] Every hallway in this cave look identical
I been lost for three hours and spiritually miserable
One Ace Trainer just folded my whole strategy
Now I’m staring at the wall rethinking life dramatically
And somehow the music keep sounding inspirational
That’s insulting when I’m losing battles this operationally
I miss early-route confidence honestly
Back when I thought becoming Champion happened naturally
Now every step feel heavier mentally
Like the dream getting bigger while I’m shrinking emotionally
But weirdly…
my team still following me
Even after every bad call and tactical tragedy
That loyalty keeping me moving somehow
Cause if they still believe… maybe I can too right now
[HOOK] Victory Road burnout
Almost seeing daylight
One last push before another sleepless night
Victory Road burnout
Still climbing slowly
Trying not to collapse before the Pokémon League notice me
I got scars
I got hope
I got shoes held together by Escape Ropes
Victory Road burnout
Still not stopping though
Even exhausted I ain’t turning back home
[OUTRO — Spoken] The craziest thing about Victory Road
Nobody can carry you through it
No rival
No professor
No shortcut
Just you…
your team…
and every bad decision you made getting here
Also who designed this cave?
Respectfully this place feels illegal architecturally
And honestly…
I thought Victory Road was supposed to feel exciting
Like triumphant music
Big heroic energy
Final chapter type stuff
But most of the time it just feel… tired
Like your dream asking:
> “You still got enough left for one more push?”
And the scary part is…
I genuinely don’t know sometimes
But every time I stop walking
my team stops too
And every time I stand back up…
they do the same thing immediately
So even exhausted
even burned out
even one bad battle away from collapsing emotionally
…I keep moving anyway
Now somebody PLEASE explain why every trainer in this cave got six fully evolved Pokémon respectfully
