Games
Brian Dalton Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It’s not that I’m feeling so far away
It’s more of the fact that I know I’m not feeling you
You’re soft in my world made of stone
And now I can say that I’m finally seeing you
And all that you are
Feeding me only the reasons to stay
Pick it up
Make my way out of town
A little luck
And the rest’ll be found
I’ve got to find a way
(I’ve got to find a way)
I’ve got to quit these games I know you're playin
Convince me to stay for a night
Lie in my arms we’ll make this right
One last time for the ones who won’t see it through
Cause this is over now
Our story’s page has just run out
And now I can say that I'm finally reading you
And all that you are
Feeding me only the reasons to stay
Pick it up
Make my way out of town
A little luck
And the rest will be found
I’ve got to find a way
(I’ve got to find a way)
I've got to quit these games I know you’re playin
If it’s just pretend
We should let it end
Don’t come running back
You can tell your friends tonight
That it’s me who starts the fights
But it’s my turn to say goodbye
Pick it up
Make my way out of town
A little luck
And the rest will be found
I’ve got to find a way
(I’ve got to find a way)
A way to quit these games I know you’re playin
Pick it up
Make my way out of town
A little luck
And the rest will be found
I’ve got to find a way
(I’ve got to find a way)
I've got to quit these games I know you’re playin
In "Games" by Brian Dalton, the singer struggles with his complicated relationship with his partner. His partner seems to be playing games with him, and he knows he needs to find a way to quit these games. He sees himself as a soft, vulnerable person in a world of stone, and he longs for his partner's comfort and closeness. However, he realizes that he has to leave town and move on with his life in order to find the happiness and peace he desires.
The chorus of the song expresses the singer's determination to leave and find his way: "Pick it up, make my way out of town, a little luck, and the rest will be found. I've got to find a way, a way to quit these games I know you're playing." He is ready to take control of his life and stop letting his partner manipulate him.
The song is full of emotion and raw honesty, and anyone who has ever been in a complicated relationship can relate to its message. It conveys the pain and confusion of trying to navigate a relationship that is both alluring and toxic. In the end, the singer knows he has to say goodbye and move on, even though it will be difficult.
