"don't think I don't know sympathy
my victims in my shadow
starin back at me"
It seems that the person feels regretful for stealing. I see the victim in the shadow is the burgalers way of saying that "I too am a victim of these actions, I already feel bad enough". The person seems to be in denial of what they're doing, they don't want to admit that they're a criminal too. The person knows they're doing the wrong thing but admitting it is devastating for them.
