My Favourite Game
Fake Idols Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone




And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Fake Idols's song My Favourite Game are contemplative and introspective, delving deep into the emotions and thoughts of the singer. The song seems to be about a failed relationship and the aftermath of it. The singer croons about not knowing what the other person is looking for, and how they have been ripped apart and scattered all around. It becomes clear that it was not a mere fling, but a serious relationship that has now ended. It is also evident that the singer had hoped for more, perhaps even a life spent together, but that is not going to happen now.


The second verse of the song has the singer reminiscing about their hopes for the relationship, how they wanted to make it work, and how they thought they could turn the other person around. However, the experiment has failed, and there is no hope for them. The last few lines of the song are the most poignant and reflective, as the singer laments losing their "favourite game" and their baby. It seems as though they have lost not only the relationship but also a part of themselves.


Despite the melancholic lyrics, the song is catchy and memorable, with a great chorus that will undoubtedly have you singing along. The message of the song is that sometimes, no matter how much you want something to work, it just cannot, and you have to accept it.


Line by Line Meaning

I don't know what you're looking for
I am unsure of what you desire


you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
It's clear that you haven't found what you're searching for


You rip me up and spread me all around
You hurt me deeply and cause me to feel broken


in the dust of the deed of time
Amidst the passage of time and actions taken


And this is not a case of lust, you see
This situation is not driven by physical desire


it's not a matter of you versus of me
There is no conflict or competition between us


It's fine the way you want me on your own
It's acceptable that you desire me solely for yourself


but in the end it's always me alone
Ultimately, I am left alone


And I'm losing my favourite game
I am failing in something that is important to me


you're losing your mind again
You're struggling with your thoughts and emotions once more


I'm losing my baby
I feel as though I am losing someone I care for deeply


losing my favourite game
Failing at something important to me


I only know what I've been working for
I am aware of what I have been striving towards


another you so I could love you more
I had hoped to create a version of you that I would love more


I really thought that I could take you there
I believed that I could bring you to a new level


but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
My attempts to improve things between us are not successful


I had a vision I could turn you right
I saw a potential in you that I could bring out


a stupid mission and a lethal fight
An unwise goal that leads to a harmful altercation


I should have seen it when my hope was new
I should have realized this earlier when I was still optimistic


my heart is black and my body is blue
I am deeply hurt emotionally and physically


I've tried but you're still the same
I have attempted to make changes but you remain unchanged


you're losing a saviour and a saint
You are losing someone who has repeatedly tried to help you and be good to you
