The Game
Dark Princess Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You made of cold
I'm made of burning stars
It's just a game
Strange game of pain and scars
Don't trust my lips
You'll never win this war
You're my sweetest sin
So feel regrets no more!

I see your coming fall... this game has no end
My promises are shades on wet sand
Don't be so dogging shy to join my delight
Stay just my only love... for tonight

The dream comes true
The dream has secret name
You can't find trace
I'll never be the same
In all your thoughts
In every spark of light
You can feel my breath
My spirit's shining bright

I see your coming fall... this game has no end
My promises are shades on wet sand
Don't be so dogging shy to join my delight
Stay just my only love... for tonight

This temptation's everywhere
I can feel it in the air
Look I'm losing all my strengths and I don't care!

I see your coming fall... this game has no end
My promises are shades on wet sand

Don't be so dogging shy to join my delight
Stay just my only love... for tonight

Line by Line Meaning

You made of cold
You are cold-hearted

I'm made of burning stars
I am passionate and full of energy

It's just a game
Our relationship is merely a game to me

Strange game of pain and scars
Our game is full of hurt and damage

Don't trust my lips
Do not believe my words

You'll never win this war
You cannot triumph over me

You're my sweetest sin
You are my favorite way to indulge in pleasure

So feel regrets no more!
Do not feel remorse for our actions

I see your coming fall... this game has no end
I can sense your inevitable defeat, but our game will not stop

My promises are shades on wet sand
My assurances are fleeting and insubstantial

Don't be so dogging shy to join my delight
Do not be too hesitant to enjoy yourself with me
