New Game
Black Math Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Its the start
Zip tied in my lonely heart
Got a new lease on a dark room
Developing pictures and it feels too soon
I can't help it
Lean in
Trust fall onto a concrete floor
Oh
Cell phone
Taped to my palm
Cliffhanging on your painted nails
Oh
Finger on
Headshot
Gotta watch myself
This is my new game
Look out a window
Glass breaks when I blink in slow motion
Raindrops splitting off
Ten paths on a race to the bottom
And I got some fear on my tongue
And you just gave me a reason
To empty the poison in my lungs
And aim it right through my thumbs
This is my new game
Oh
Cell phone
Taped to my palm
Cliffhanging on your painted nails
Oh
Finger on
Headshot
And I watch myself
Oh
Game on
Race to a bomb
Cliffhanging on the last detail
Oh
Trigger on
Dead drop
I never stop myself
(It's never gonna go away
Just staring at it in the face
Heavy breath and I feel the weight
Dead drop
Never stop myself)
Never stop myself
This is my new game
This is my new game
This is my new game
I can't help it
This is my new game
This is my new game
This is my new game
This is my new game
This is my new game
The Black Math's song "New Game" is an intense and cryptic exploration of a dangerous new obsession. The first verse describes a "fresh wound" and a "lonely heart" suggesting that the singer has recently suffered some emotional pain that has driven them to seek out a new form of stimulation. The second verse introduces the concept of a "new game" and describes the singer's cell phone being taped to their palm, like a weapon, while they "cliffhang" on someone's "painted nails". It's unclear whether this is a romantic or a dangerous situation, but there's a sense of adrenaline and fear.
The chorus repeats the phrase "This is my new game" and becomes more intense as it progresses. The window that the singer looks out of shatters when they "blink in slow motion" and the raindrops split off into ten different paths, creating a sense of chaos and confusion. The fear on the singer's tongue becomes a "poison" that they must "empty" and aim "right through" their thumbs, suggesting that the game involves both physical and emotional risk-taking. The phrase "never stop myself" repeats throughout the song, suggesting that the game is addictive and the singer is powerless to resist.
Overall, "New Game" is a haunting and enigmatic exploration of obsession and fear. The lyrics create a sense of unease and suspense, while the repetitive chorus and driving beat add to the feeling of adrenaline and danger.

Fresh wound
Starting anew, still feeling the pain of past experiences
Its the start
A new beginning
Zip tied in my lonely heart
Feeling trapped and alone emotionally
Got a new lease on a dark room
Finding inspiration in darkness and sadness
Developing pictures and it feels too soon
Exploring new artistic territory that is emotionally difficult
I can't help it
Feeling compelled to keep going down this path
Lean in
Taking a risk and fully committing
Trust fall onto a concrete floor
Taking a risk and getting hurt in the process
But I can't say anything
Feeling powerless and unable to speak up
Cell phone Taped to my palm
Feeling connected to someone despite physical distance
Cliffhanging on your painted nails
Holding onto a fragile connection
Finger on Headshot
Feeling the pressure of needing to succeed
Gotta watch myself
Being cautious and aware of one's actions
Look out a window
Taking a moment to reflect on surroundings
Glass breaks when I blink in slow motion
Feeling like things are falling apart and moving too fast
Raindrops splitting off
Things fracturing and going in different directions
Ten paths on a race to the bottom
Feeling like multiple paths lead to a bad outcome
And I got some fear on my tongue
Feeling scared and anxious
And you just gave me a reason
Someone triggered negative feelings and thoughts
To empty the poison in my lungs
Needing to release toxic emotions
And aim it right through my thumbs
Expressing negative emotions through art or action
Cell phone Taped to my palm
Still feeling connected despite distance and obstacles
Cliffhanging on your painted nails
Feeling like a connection is unstable and may fall apart
Finger on Headshot
Feeling pressure to succeed and perform well
And I watch myself
Being cautious and aware
Game on Race to a bomb
Feeling like life is a high-stakes game
Cliffhanging on the last detail
Feeling like things are precarious and could fall apart with the smallest issue
Trigger on Dead drop
Feeling like things are out of control and dangerous
I never stop myself
Being driven to keep going despite risks and obstacles
This is my new game
Seeing life as a challenging game or competition
It's never gonna go away
Acknowledging that certain feelings and regrets will always be present
Just staring at it in the face
Confronting difficult emotions and problems head-on
Heavy breath and I feel the weight
Feeling weighed down and overwhelmed by emotions
Dead drop Never stop myself
Feeling like things are dangerous and uncontrollable, but still pushing forward
