Emika Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
what a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you
what a wicked thing to say you never felt this way
what a wicked thing to do to make me dream of you
And I don’t wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No I don’t wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It’s strange what desire will make foolish people do
I’d never dreamed that I’d love somebody like you
I’d never dreamed that I’d lose somebody like you
No I don’t wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No I don’t wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
No I... (this girl is only gonna break your heart)
(This girl is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
The lyrics of Emika's song "Wicked Game" describe the pain of falling in love with someone who doesn't feel the same way. The opening lines of the song "What a wicked game you played to make me feel this way, what a wicked thing to do to let me dream of you" highlight the manipulation and games that the person played with the singer's heart. The chorus "And I don’t wanna fall in love, No I don’t wanna fall in love, With you" expresses the singer's reluctance to give in to their feelings as they know that love comes with the risk of heartbreak. The line "the world was on fire and no one could save me but you" could refer to a feeling of being lost or alone until the love interest came into the singer's life.
The second verse of the song "It’s strange what desire will make foolish people do, I’d never dreamed that I’d love somebody like you," reflects on the irrational nature of love and how it can lead people to do crazy things. The final line, "Nobody loves no one," delivers a final blow to the singer's heart, indicating that the person they fell in love with has no regard for their feelings.
