Wicked Games
Anna Naklab Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dream that I'd meet somebody like you
I'd never dream that I'd lose somebody like you
And I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you
What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you, with you

And I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love




With you
With you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Anna Naklab's song Wicked Games delve into the complexities of desire, love, and heartbreak. The opening lines describe a situation of despair and hopelessness, where the world seems to be crumbling down and nothing can be done about it except being saved by one person. The singer speaks of a newfound desire for someone, which has made them act foolishly and do things they never thought they would. The singer acknowledges that they never imagined meeting someone like the person they desire, and yet, they also never imagined losing them.


With the repetition of the line "I don't want to fall in love," the singer portrays a sense of reluctance and unwillingness to give in to their emotions. However, the chorus paints a picture of the "wicked game" that the other person played by letting the singer dream of them and then claiming that they never felt the same way. The repetition of "what a wicked thing to do" emphasizes how hurtful and deceptive the other person's actions were, causing the singer to feel trapped in their emotions but also resentful towards the other person.


Overall, Wicked Games is a poignant and powerful depiction of the ups and downs of love, desire and heartbreak.
