Evil Games
Innocence Unveiled: Unraveling the Dark Threads of 'Evil Games'
Lyrics
They laugh and shout for everyone to see
Publicly expressing joy and happiness
When they are together they are happy
Their happiness is evident when they are together
Little children with innocent smiles
Innocent children with smiling faces
Who knows what may hide behind them
Uncertainty about what may be concealed behind their innocence
The sadness in the eyes of old folk around them
Sadness observed in the eyes of elderly people around them
The children's spiteful games
Children engaging in malicious or harmful activities
They don't know they're hurting
Unaware that their actions cause harm
Stop and look around you
An urging to pause and observe the surroundings
For God's sake, look about you
An appeal to be aware of the world
Evil games, evil games
Reference to harmful actions as "evil games"
They tie you up, they tear your heart in two
Describing emotional pain caused by manipulation
One day they love, the next they hate you
Highlighting inconsistency in love and hate from the same source
When you're not looking they'll be out at night
Secretive and potentially harmful activities when unobserved
To wonder streets investigating
Exploring the streets, possibly with a sinister intent
The sadness in the eyes of old folk around them
Reiteration of the sadness in the eyes of the elderly
The children's spiteful games
Continuation of children's harmful games
They don't know they're hurting
Emphasizing the ignorance of the children about the harm they cause
Stop and look around you
Another plea to observe and be aware
For God's sake, look about you
Stressing the importance of being attentive to one's surroundings
Evil games, evil games
Reiteration of the theme of harmful actions as "evil games"
The sadness in the eyes of old folk around them
Re-emphasis on the sorrow seen in the elderly
The children's spiteful games
Continued depiction of malicious games played by children
They don't know they're hurting
Reaffirmation that the children are unaware of the harm they cause
Stop and look around you
Another call to stop and observe the surroundings
For God's sake, look about you
A plea to be aware for the sake of God
Evil games, evil games
Final emphasis on harmful actions being labeled as "evil games"
