The Game You Play
Echoes of Regret: Unraveling the Meaning Behind Firevision's 'The Game You Play'
Lyrics
How you're feeling?
Questioning the emotional state of the listener.
I know you're not ok
Acknowledging that the listener is not okay.
'cause I know what you've been thinking
Claiming to understand the listener's thoughts.
and I know you don't wanna stay
Recognizing the listener's desire to leave or move on.
The way you look at me
Noticing that non-verbal cues convey more than spoken words.
tells me more than your words
Highlighting the significance of the listener's gaze.
more than all those empty words you said to me before
Discrediting past insincere statements made by the listener.
you lost the game you play
Asserting that the listener has failed or lost in their deceptive actions.
chorus
No specific meaning provided in the lyrics.
Things you're about to do really happen to you
Warning about the impending consequences of the listener's actions.
so don't regret the mess you made 'cause it's too late
Advising against regret for the irreversible consequences of their choices.
the game you play is true like it or not
Asserting the authenticity of the listener's manipulative behavior.
and everything you do really comes back to you
Emphasizing the inevitability of facing the repercussions of one's actions.
And all the things we've been thru
Indicating that shared experiences have lost importance for the listener.
don't matter to you
Stating that past experiences hold no significance for the listener.
and after all you just can´t forget the price you paid
Highlighting the difficulty in forgetting the price paid for the deceptive game.
for this game you play
Reiterating the cost of the manipulative game the listener engages in.
