This Game Of Love
Embracing the Flames: Navigating the Game of Love
Lyrics
Don't let me burn like this
Feeling a desperate plea to avoid emotional pain or hardship.
Save me from the fire
Request for salvation or rescue from a challenging situation.
I know the art of loneliness
Awareness of the experience of being alone and its impact.
I see straight down the wire
Having a clear view of a risky or uncertain situation.
I see straight down the wire
Emphasizing the direct and unobstructed perception of a situation.
See straight down the wire
Repetition for emphasis, underlining the clarity of perception.
Free my soul of emptiness
Desire to be liberated from a sense of inner emptiness.
I know the taste of sorrow
Understanding the taste and impact of deep sadness.
Tonight I am delirious
Acknowledging a state of delirium, possibly emotional confusion.
I live to play tomorrow
Expressing a commitment to live and face the challenges of the future.
Live to play tomorrow
-Live to play tomorrow
-I live to play tomorrow
-I came in to this town
Recalling an entrance into a challenging or unwelcoming environment.
No comfort or peace of mind
Highlighting the absence of comfort or peace of mind.
Just as the rain came down
Symbolic reference to a difficult period marked by hardship (rain).
I swear I don't wanna lose this time
Expressing a determination not to repeat past mistakes.
Gonna take my rightful place
Asserting a claim to a deserved position in a positive place or state.
In the sun high heaven above
Desire for a harmonious existence or spiritual elevation.
Or there'll be hell to pay
Acknowledging potential consequences if love is not successful.
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Pondering the possibility of losing in the metaphorical "game of love."
Now I lay me down to rest
Invocation of a bedtime prayer, perhaps indicating vulnerability.
Cold ground up against my back
Describing a physically uncomfortable or challenging resting place.
Time and again I failed a test
Reflecting on repeated failures and their emotional toll.
As painful as a heart attack
Comparing the emotional pain to the intensity of a heart attack.
As painful as a heart attack
-As painful as a heart attack
-As painful as a heart attack
-Don't make me burn like this
Repetition of the plea to avoid burning or suffering emotionally.
I know the art of loneliness
Reiterating awareness of the isolating nature of loneliness.
Free my soul of emptiness
Re-emphasizing the desire to be freed from inner emptiness.
Pull me from the fire
Asking for rescue from a challenging or threatening situation.
I stepped down off the train
Entering a new place with no intention of causing harm.
Not looking to do no harm
Clarifying a peaceful intention upon arrival.
Just book a room someplace
Expressing a simple desire for comfort and connection.
And hold devotion and warmth in between my arms
Yearning for emotional closeness and warmth in a relationship.
Devotion and warmth
-Devotion and warmth
-Devotion and warmth in between my arms
-But the to and the fro
Listing contrasting elements that contributed to personal turmoil.
The wrath and the sloth
-The back and the forth took my world apart
-Lord I'll take my place
Reasserting a desire for a positive and elevated state of being.
In the sun high heaven above
Restating the claim to a place in a desirable state or realm.
Or there'll be hell to pay
Highlighting potential negative consequences if love is lost.
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
Repeating the concern about losing in the metaphorical "game of love."
Am I gonna, gonna lose
Reiterating the fear and uncertainty of losing in the "game of love."
Am I gonna lose this game of love?
-Am I gonna lose
-Am I gonna lose this game of love?
-Am I gonna, gonna lose
-Am I gonna lose this game of love?
-Am I gonna lose
-Am I gonna lose this game of love?
