The Game
Deine Lakaien Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold is the weed
Worn out shoes
Air full of grief
It is you now
Stuck within
Soul is burning
No chance to win
What have you done to the game
Was it a victory a shame
Where have you gone
Before morning dew
The game will not end
Without you
Ears of lost minds
Luke and torn
Dresses rotten
And broken stores
And the meaning
It's sold too soon
Can the blister
Substitute the moon
What have you done ...
And the hot sun
Paints the door
Your philanthropist
Sighed once more
Wind was blowing
Air through pipes
Holes in bodies
Mortial crimes
What have you done ...
These lyrics from Deine Lakaien's song "The Game" seem to delve into a theme of loss and defeat, with the imagery of gray eyes flickering, worn-out shoes, and the air full of grief all setting a somber mood. The lyrics seem to address someone who is stuck in a difficult situation, with their soul burning and no chance to win. The repetition of the question "what have you done to the game?" suggests that this person may have made a mistake or failed in some way, with both victory and shame being on the board. The line "the game will not end without you" suggests the significance of the person's presence in the situation, perhaps implying that they are not alone in their struggle.
The second verse continues with the idea of lost minds, torn-eared individuals, and rotted dresses, painting a picture of decay and destruction. The line "and the meaning, it's sold too soon" suggests a sense of loss, as though something valuable has been prematurely given up. The comparison of a blister to the moon further emphasizes this idea of something small and insignificant trying to replace something great and essential. The repetition of the question "what have you done to the game?" is echoed in the final verse, which seems to describe a philanthropist who has sighed in defeat, as though acknowledging the mortality and flaws of humanity. The imagery of wind blowing through pipes and mortial crimes suggests a sense of desolation and disrepair, as though the very fabric of society has been broken.
