Don't Play Games
Aron Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My world is spinning fast.
Can hardly speak,
Don't have the energy left.
I′m falling, I'm falling down.
Don't play games,
Don′t make me suffer,
Don't make me suffer.
You made me believe,
Something was wrong in me,
What kind of lover,
Would make their love suffer?
It′s all in my head.
All these nights
They run together now.
Paradise,
Oh, Forget about it.
It's over now.
Don′t play games,
Don't give my love away,
Don′t make me suffer,
Don't make me suffer.
You made me believe,
Something was wrong in me,
What kind of lover,
Would make their love suffer?
I'm falling, I′m falling down down down down,
Don′t play games,
Don't give my love away,
Don′t make me suffer,
Don't make me suffer.
You made me believe,
Something was wrong in me,
What kind of lover,
Would make their love suffer?
It′s all in my head.
Was it all in my head?
Was it all in my head?
The lyrics to Aron Wright's song "Don't Play Games" are a melancholy reflection on a past love that has left the singer feeling hollow and betrayed. The verses describe a feeling of confusion and disorientation, with the world spinning too fast to comprehend and the energy drained from the singer's body. The chorus repeats the plea "Don't play games" as an appeal to the ex-lover not to toy with the singer's emotions and not to "give my love away" to someone else. The singer is suffering from the loss of the relationship and can't bear to feel the pain anymore.
The bridge describes how the ex-lover made the singer think that there was something wrong with them, causing them to doubt themselves and their ability to be loved. The metaphor of the nights running together represents how the memories of the relationship have blended into an indistinguishable blur, and how the paradise that they once shared is now out of reach. The repeated question "Was it all in my head?" expresses the doubt and confusion that lingers after a painful breakup, wondering if the love they once shared was ever real.
Overall, the lyrics are a heartbreaking portrayal of the aftermath of a failed relationship, with the singer struggling to come to terms with the loss and trying to make sense of what went wrong.
