Chapter and Verse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just play videogames til the sunlight creeps in
We’ll forget all you said
And I’ll keep my eyes fixed on the screen
So you don’t have to look at me.
Let’s not go out tonight
Just drink everything
Drink til our cheeks go red
And the cracks in my laughter might make you see
That you’ve changed me.
How can you speak from your high horse when
You’re so low?
[It’s easier hearing you from the TV than the real
World]
How can you speak from your high horse when
You’re so low?
[It’s easier hearing you there – I’d rather hear you
There]
You are so used to getting your own way
[It’s such a shame]
We’ll stay indoors tonight
And you’ll listen closely
Cause I’m sick of listening
And they may take that shit but I won’t.
Let’s have it out, come on and speak to me like you
Love me.
The lyrics of Chapter and Verse's song "Video Games" convey a sense of escapism and avoidance through the theme of staying in and playing video games instead of facing reality. The opening lines, "Let’s not go out tonight, Just play videogames til the sunlight creeps in," suggest a desire to escape from the outside world and the problems within it. The lyrics imply the intention to forget about past conversations or conflicts, with the singer focusing on the screen to avoid eye contact and potential confrontation.
The next verse continues the theme of avoidance, proposing to stay in and drink to excess rather than dealing with emotions or communication directly. The line "Drink til our cheeks go red" suggests a coping mechanism to numb the pain or create a temporary distraction, while acknowledging that this may lead to revealing vulnerabilities, as indicated by "the cracks in my laughter might make you see that you’ve changed me." The lyrics highlight a sense of vulnerability and change within the relationship, possibly due to unresolved issues or unspoken feelings.
The following verses introduce a confrontation, with the lyrics questioning the authenticity and honesty of the other person's communication. The lines "How can you speak from your high horse when you’re so low?" and "It’s easier hearing you from the TV than the real world" suggest a disconnect between the singer's perception of the other person's behavior and the reality of the situation. The lyrics express a desire for genuine, heartfelt communication, as indicated by "Speak to me like you love me," contrasting the superficial or defensive interactions portrayed earlier in the song.
In the final verse, the lyrics assert the singer's boundary and refusal to tolerate untruths or mistreatment. The lines "And they may take that shit but I won’t, Let’s have it out, come on and speak to me like you love me" demonstrate a readiness to confront the other person and demand honesty and respect. The song portrays a struggle for authenticity and emotional connection within the context of avoidance and escapism, ultimately urging for genuine communication and resolution.

Let’s not go out tonight
I'd rather stay in and play video games instead of going out
Just play video games til the sunlight creeps in
We'll play video games all night until morning comes
We’ll forget all you said
I'll ignore what you said earlier
And I’ll keep my eyes fixed on the screen
I'll focus on the game so you don't have to look at me
So you don’t have to look at me.
You don't have to pay attention to me
Just drink everything we find in the kitchen
Let's just keep drinking whatever we can find
Drink til our cheeks go red
Drink until our faces turn red
And the cracks in my laughter might make you see
My humor might reveal something to you
That you’ve changed me.
You've had an impact on me
How can you speak from your high horse when you’re so low?
You act superior despite your own flaws
It’s easier hearing you from the TV than the real world
I prefer hearing you on TV rather than in person
It’s easier hearing you there – I’d rather hear you there
I'd rather listen to you there than anywhere else
You are so used to getting your own way
You're accustomed to getting what you want
It’s such a shame
It's unfortunate
We’ll stay indoors tonight
We'll stay inside tonight
And you’ll listen closely
You'll pay attention to me
Cause I’m sick of listening
I'm tired of hearing you
And they may take that shit but I won’t.
Others may accept it, but I won't
Let’s have it out, come on and speak to me like you love me.
Let's have a conversation where you speak to me with care

I missed this guy so much, As a large part of a childhood since I was 5, I'm older now, I missed this channel so much, Thank you for making my mind a better place, and making me feel better. This was the big part of my childhood that i never made. I cannot describe the happiness when they all grow up.. It's also sad though, They were more fun when they were younger.. Thank you for making my childhood better..
