The Name of the Game
Unveiling the Enigmatic Dance of Desires in Bryan Ferry's Melodic Odyssey
Lyrics
Out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and lacking restraint or direction.
And as far I can see
From my perspective, there is no solution in sight.
No religion can save me now
No religious beliefs can offer salvation at this moment.
Through i'm trying to believe
Despite my efforts to have faith.
How could I know
The extent of her insanity is unexpected.
Her madness'd cling
Her madness has a strong grip.
From the time of her first caress
Starting from the first intimate touch she gave.
To the final fling
Continuing until the final reckless act.
When you know the name of the game
Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation.
You can never play enough
There is never enough involvement or participation.
Every drop of blood is the same
Every sacrifice is equal.
You can never shed enough
No amount of sacrifice is sufficient.
Out in the cold
Feeling abandoned or isolated.
In the wilderness again
Back in a challenging and deserted situation.
Where I fight for my soul
Engaged in a struggle for one's inner self.
I can see no end
Seeing no resolution or conclusion.
When you know the name of the game
Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation (repeated).
You never play enough
There is never enough involvement or participation (repeated).
In the name of heaven you pray
Praying fervently, but it's never adequate.
You can never pray enough
No amount of prayer is sufficient.
Out of control
Feeling overwhelmed and lacking restraint or direction (repeated).
Wild flower don't you fade
Wishing for the enduring beauty of a wild flower.
Thundercloud on the hill
A looming threat or danger on the horizon.
Let me lie in your shade
Seeking comfort or refuge in the shadow.
How could I know
The extent of her insanity is unexpected (repeated).
Her madness'd cling
Her madness has a strong grip (repeated).
From the time of her first caress
Starting from the first intimate touch she gave (repeated).
To the final fling
Continuing until the final reckless act (repeated).
When you know the name of the game
Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation (repeated).
You can never play enough
There is never enough involvement or participation (repeated).
And the way you love is the same
The manner in which love is expressed is never sufficient.
You can never give enough
No amount of giving in love is enough.
When you know the name of the game
Understanding the rules or dynamics of a situation (repeated).
You can never play enough
There is never enough involvement or participation (repeated).
In the name of heaven you pray
Praying fervently, but it's never adequate (repeated).
You can never pray enough
No amount of prayer is sufficient (repeated).
