The Game
Confligo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Memories behind obscure disguises
Shaming disgust towards the cruelties of life
But the life it's the real ugly thing
"This is the life a journey of grief
Day after day we drew to twilight
Dust is my future and wind my breath,
We are just senseless pawns in a game
Wrong is the first move, the birth of a new life
We keep on steadily playing loosing pawns
And we culminate in the checkmate of death.
In "The Game," Confligo explores the fleeting nature of life and the constant struggle to escape from the harsh realities of the world. The song opens with the singer acknowledging the futility of trying to mask painful memories and experiences behind illusions. Despite the attempts to hide from the cruelty of life, the singer realizes that life itself can be the ugliest thing.
The chorus elaborates on this theme by presenting life as a journey of grief. Each day brings us closer to our inevitable destiny, which is symbolized by the image of dust and wind. The singer resigns themselves to their fate, tired of the endless cycle of existence.
In the final verse, Confligo likens life to a game, with humanity as mere pawns in a larger scheme. The first move is always wrong, leading to the birth of a new life. The cycle repeats, with people steadily losing their purpose as they advance towards death, which is represented by the checkmate. Overall, "The Game" is a thought-provoking meditation on the human condition and our attempts to find meaning in a world where we are at the mercy of larger forces.
Line by Line Meaning
Living in an ephemeral realm trying to hide
Existing in a short-lived and fleeting world while attempting to conceal oneself
Memories behind obscure disguises
Recollections concealed by unclear and misleading facades
Shaming disgust towards the cruelties of life
Feeling humiliated and repulsed by the hardships of existence
But the life it's the real ugly thing
However, life is the true and unpleasant reality
This is the life a journey of grief
Life is a voyage of misery
Day after day we drew to twilight
Every day ends with twilight
Dust is my future and wind my breath,
My future is bleak and my breath is like the wind
I close my eyes and wait for my fate
I shut my eyes and anticipate my destiny
We are just senseless pawns in a game
We are only meaningless pawns in a competition
Wrong is the first move, the birth of a new life
Error is the initial step, the beginning of a new existence
We keep on steadily playing loosing pawns
We continue to play the game, losing our pawns along the way
And we culminate in the checkmate of death
Ultimately, we come to the finish of death's checkmate
