Wicked Game
Anton Ishutin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

World was on fire and no-one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you
With you

(This girl is only gonna break your heart)

What a wicked game to play
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 wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you

World was on fire and no-one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I'd never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I'd never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

No, I don't wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you

(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you

(This girl is only gonna break your heart)

No, I (This girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)





Nobody loves no-one

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Anton Ishutin's song Wicked Game describe the experience of falling in love with someone who is ultimately unreliable and who will hurt you in the end. The singer describes the intensity of his desire for this person, even though he knows that she is only going to break his heart. He reflects on the fact that he never thought he would meet someone like her and never imagined that he would lose her. The lyrics repeat the refrain of "This girl is only gonna break your heart," emphasizing the singer's awareness of the inevitable outcome of this relationship, but also his near-addiction to this person.


The lyrics also explore the idea that falling in love can make people act foolishly, in spite of their better judgment. The desire to be with this person is so strong that the singer can't help but dream of them, even though he knows that they will ultimately hurt him. The repetition of the phrase "What a wicked thing to do" shows the singer's recognition of the manipulation and emotional games that are being played. In the end, the singer resigns himself to the fact that "nobody loves no-one," suggesting that love ultimately leads to heartbreak and that it's best to not get too invested.

This just takes Chris Isaac's original to a completely different level. My level in fact. I've always loved Wicked Games but it carries a very melancholy feel in both tempo and key. Now, I can get into it anytime despite my being overjoyed. Man I love this mix!!!! Incredible work!!! Thank you!!! πŸ’™

Really good; as always. Sad to only have found this 7 years AFTER creation. Seductive. Catchy. Inspiring. Beautiful.

This is such a good track and a superb video to go with it - as a man of culture myself, there is always something hypnotic about a beautiful woman. 10/10
