Play The Game
Navigating Love's Maze: Angie McMahon's Play The Game Explained
Lyrics
Holdin' on to feelings that I do not like
Struggling with emotions that are unpleasant
About the situation
Regarding the current circumstances
I can feel my teeth trying to break the ice
Sensing tension, physical discomfort symbolized by teeth breaking ice
I'm helpless, helpless when it comes to you
Feeling vulnerable and powerless in the presence of someone
I'll say nothing up against the (?)
Choosing silence over confrontation, possibly to avoid conflict
I don't know how to play the game
Expressing confusion or uncertainty about navigating a relationship
You say that we're not playing
Denying involvement in a game, possibly a metaphor for a relationship dynamic
We're not playing well
Acknowledging difficulties in the relationship
And I'm not proud of all the loud things I've been saying
Regretting past outbursts or uncontrolled expressions
I lost my way inside our house
Feeling lost within the confines of the shared living space
And I would be a burden with the things that I feel
Fearing burdening the other person with deep emotions
If I spell them out and make as if they're (?)
Hesitant to articulate emotions, possibly fearing misunderstanding
I'm not sure what is real
Uncertain about the reality of the situation
I'm selfish, selfish when it comes to you
Admitting to selfish tendencies in the context of the relationship
I guess I feel left out, I'll pull through, through
Feeling excluded or overlooked, determined to overcome it
I don't know how to play the game
Reiterating confusion or lack of knowledge about relationship dynamics
You say that we're not playing
Emphasizing the denial of engaging in a relationship 'game'
We're not playing well
Acknowledging difficulties persist in the relationship
And I'm not proud of all the loud things I've been saying
Expressing regret for previous outspoken behavior
I lost my way inside our house
Reiterating the sense of being lost within the shared space
I lost my way inside our house
Repeating the theme of feeling lost within the shared space
Way inside our house
Deep within the shared living space, symbolizing emotional distance
