Big Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't know how I work all day
When will I learn?
Memories get in the way
I walk around
I can't hear a sound, folks talkin' loud, but I
Don't see at all
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone well I
Spent all my day
Fixin' up to go somewhere
Thought I was late
And I found she wasn't there
I guess I'll find
Love, peace of mind, some other time, but I
Still have today
I gotta get away, gotta get away, I don't
Know where to go
It's hopeless so
I guess I'll leave it alone
Games people play
Night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue
Been down too long
Right, wrong, they just can't stop it
Spendin' all day
Thinking just of you
Twelve forty-five
Headed for the subway home
I took my time
'Cause I felt so all alone
Not far away
I heard a funny sound, took a look around, and I
Could see her face
Smilin' as she came, callin' out my name, so I
Know where to go
We'll take it slow
Guess I'll call it a day
Games people play
Night or day they're just not matchin'
What they should do
Keeps me feelin' blue

In Big Machine's song "Game," the singer expresses his struggle with finding inner peace and a sense of belonging in a world that seems to be playing games with him. The first verse details his exhaustion and inability to focus due to memories that keep flooding his mind, causing him to feel disconnected from the world around him. The singer tries to escape this feeling, but he doesn't know where to go or what to do, which only exacerbates his sense of hopelessness. The second verse shows the singer's frustration with people who are not genuine, constantly playing games and going against what they should do, which makes him feel blue.
The bridge of the song seems to mark a turning point for the singer. He acknowledges that he has been down for too long and is consumed with thoughts of a certain person. He then realizes that he no longer has to feel alone because this person is calling out his name. As a result, he feels a sense of relief and finally knows where to go.
Overall, "Game" is a contemplative song that deals with feelings of displacement, frustration, and longing for connection. The singer's journey throughout the song highlights the human condition, reminding the listener that everyone experiences feelings of hopelessness and confusion at some point in their lives.

the "bucket wheel excavator" 10:40 proper name (at least in Australia) is a "reclaimer" Its counter part is called a "Stacker" the Stacker makes Stacks, then the Reclaimer, reclaims it, and sends the stuff (my knowledge from iron ore) along conveyor belt to the "Ship Loader" (it loads stuff on ships LOL)

Coal. Iron ore. Bauxite. Most the ones in straya are on tracks. Biggest reclaimer ive help build was about 1600 t.
