Wicked game
Daisy Gray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Noone could save me but you
Strange what desire
Make foolish people do
I never dreamt that I need somebody like you
I never dreamt that I knew somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you
What a wicked game to play
To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do
To let me dream of you
What a wicked thing you say
You never felt this way
What a wicked thing you do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This one is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (This one is only gonna break your heart)
No, I
No, I
Nobody loves no one
The lyrics of Daisy Gray's song "Wicked Game" are about desire, love and the pain that comes with it. The first verse suggests that the world is in chaos and no one can save the singer except for her desired love interest. The second line makes a commentary on how desire can lead people to make foolish decisions. The pre-chorus expresses the singer's surprise that she needs and knows someone like her love interest. The chorus then declares the 'wicked' nature of the game that the love interest is playing by making the singer fall for him, and how she doesn't want to be in love because it will only break her heart.
The next verse talks about the ways in which the love interest is playing a 'wicked' game by saying things he doesn't mean and leading the singer on. The repetition of 'No, I don't wanna fall in love' at the end of each verse and the outro lyrics 'Nobody loves no one' suggest the singer's reluctance to let herself fall for the love interest, perhaps because she knows it will end in heartbreak. Overall, the song describes the complexities of desire and the pain that can come with falling in love.

PSA: I do not smoke cigarettes nor do I support the promotion of smoking, the use of the cigarette was to pay tribute to the 90’s aesthetic and culture, as well as show the juxtaposition between beauty and toxicity (as in the relationship that Chris Isaak wrote about) the beauty of the ocean, mixed with the toxicity of the smoking. Smoking is not cool guys ❤️
@samsyria11
I ♥️ u & i ♥️ cigarettes♥️
@mohamedouhari2557
Magnifique chanson 👍
@daisygrayofficial
The cigarette is also fake, it is an herbal/no smell/no nicotine prop cigarette much like the ones used in movies and tv shows lol
@DavidStHilaire
Very haunting, even more vocally cryptic than Chris's. Beautiful when a melody creates a bath of tears as verse condenses into This.
