Games
Alison Wonderland feat. SAFIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll never cave and give you all my game.
Exactly how I thought that this would play,
But I keep running to you anyway.
Odds-on and then you say;
You didn't even know about it.
I knew the games you played;
Cause we need more, but I
Seem to fall back into it.
Can't tell you what I think;
You didn't even know about it.
They always tell me to stop acting tough.
And I can't help but know it's not enough.
But you got me hung up like everytime.
I'm sick of hearing from you;
Not this time.
Odds-on and then you say;
You didn't even know about it.
I knew the games you played;
There's a way to work around it.
Cause we need more, but I
Seem to fall back into it.
Can't tell you what I think;
You didn't even know about it.
Odds-on and then you say;
You didn't even know about it.
I knew the games you played;
There's a way to work around it.
Cause we need more, but I
Seem to fall back into it.
Can't tell you what I think;
You didn't even know about it.
Odds-on and then you say;
You didn't even know about it.
I knew the games you played;
There's a way to work around it.
You didn't even know about it.
You didn't even...
You didn't even...
The lyrics to Alison Wonderland feat. SAFIA's song Games seem to be about a relationship where one person is constantly playing games and trying to manipulate the other. The singer is aware of this and knows that they should not give in and give the other person what they want, but they keep being drawn back in anyway. The phrase "who told you this is gonna make me change" suggests that the manipulative behavior is not going to work, and the singer will not give up their own game just because the other person is trying to change them. The chorus repeats the idea that while the singer knows they should resist these games, they keep falling back into them, unable to resist the other person's manipulation. The phrase "You didn't even know about it" suggests that the manipulative partner is not even aware of how their actions are affecting the singer.
The verses focus on the singer's frustration with the relationship and the manipulative behavior of their partner. The phrase "stop acting tough" suggests that the singer is trying to put up a front and protect themselves from the other person's games, but it's not enough to stop them from being manipulated. The repeated use of the phrase "odds-on and then you say" highlights the idea that the manipulative behavior is predictable and the singer knows what's coming, but they can't seem to avoid it. Overall, the lyrics suggest a cycle of manipulation and frustration in a relationship, where one person is trying to control the other.
