Who/ what was Victor mentioned in the LoveSymbol era? Of course, we know the song "The Sacrifice Of Victor" from the LoveSymbol album. The name Victor popped up a lot in the early 1990s regarding Prince, and it supposedly was linked with his name change to .
What is the story behind Victor? Who/ what was Victor? Was there religious/ spiritual meaning? | |

I swear we just had a thread or at least a discussion about this a few weeks ago on here. | |

He will be victorious when he wins his fight for the right to be free. That's why his name would be "victor" in the end. I like that clever breakdown of the symbol, though "Whatever skin we're in
we all need 2 b friends" | |

The words in The Sacrifice of Victor point to this being about Prince's life, especially his childhood years. | |

all jokes aside,I recall that,right before Love Symbol was released,it was reported that Prince would eventually tell us what the “symbol” means.He was planning videos for every track and in the final video,all would finally be revealed. | |

according to INSIDERS there are pretty much "videos" for most 90s tracks | |

My say is that it is self-referential, and expressing his own wishes for life success--to be a victor! | |

Or perhaps he leaked it so it's meaning wouldn't be lost. | |
