Game Over
DJ Mad Dog & Amnesys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen
Game over this is take over
Freedom and democracy
Our guest tonight takes the contrarian view
He sees the internet as an instrumentality used by repressive regimes
To crackdown on dissidents
So, what is this internet?
Is it a techno utopia?
Or is it a digital dictatorship?
Listen
The game is over!
Listen
Game over, this is take over




Welcome to the future!
This is take over.

The singer states that "The game is over" and that "this is take over," implying that some larger force is taking control of something. The song's lyrics then contrast the ideas of "freedom and democracy" with the idea that the internet is being used as a tool of repression. The lyrics suggest that we must think critically about the internet's power and the way it's used.


The lyrics of "Game Over" suggest that the internet can be both a tool of liberation and a tool of oppression.
