Selfish Games
Ferreck Dawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Finally got my heartbeat back again
Had to find my way from what has been
Damn, I underestimate this game
In my love
I'd be a fool to let you
Now you're sorry, coming at me
I can't play your selfish game
Game, yeah
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, oh yeah
Oh, so you give me love
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, give love, yeah
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, oh yeah
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh
No I won't contest your love
Just another link in your chain
Can't say that there's never enough
Just another link in your chain, yeah
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me love
Oh, but you give me lovin'
Oh, so you give me
Finally got my heartbeat back again
Had to find my way from what has been
Damn, I underestimate this game
In my love
I'd be a fool to let you
Now you're sorry, coming at me
I can't play your selfish game
Game
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, oh yeah
Oh, so you give me love
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, give love, yeah
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, oh yeah
Oh, so you give me love
Ooh, oh yeah (ooh)
Ooh, give love, yeah
In "Selfish Games," Ferreck Dawn, Leo Moreno, and Alex Mills explore the theme of toxic love. The repeated refrain of "Oh, but you give me lovin'/Oh, so you give me love" suggests a codependent relationship where one partner overlooks the other's negative behavior because they feel loved. The verse "No I won't contest your love/Just another link in your chain/Can't say that there's never enough/Just another link in your chain, yeah" further illustrates the idea of being trapped and unable to break free from a manipulative partner.
The chorus's lyrics reveal the singer's realization that they deserve better and cannot continue to play the "selfish game" with their partner. The lines "Finally got my heartbeat back again/Had to find my way from what has been/Damn, I underestimate this game/In my love/I'd be a fool to let you/Now you're sorry, coming at me/I can't play your selfish game/Game, yeah" suggest that the singer's journey to self-discovery has not been easy, but they have come to the realization that they can no longer tolerate their partner's behavior.
Overall, "Selfish Games" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of toxic relationships and the importance of standing up for oneself.

Oh, but you give me lovin'
You show me affection
Finally got my heartbeat back again
I am feeling emotionally stable again
Had to find my way from what has been
I had to move on from my past experiences
Damn, I underestimate this game
I realize that this love affair is more difficult than I thought it would be
In my love
I am invested in this relationship
I'd be a fool to let you
I would regret losing you

Just another link in your chain
I feel like I am just a small part of your life
