The Game
FooL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you picture yourself on a paper plane
On a wind of change
And which direction will take you away?
Will it have the range?

And if you still believe in your dreams
And if they make you see,
It's all depending on these careless games.
It's careless games.

Can you gather yourself from the seeds of love
Just for a lark?
Or will you watch the world through your
Colourful glass - even when it's dark.

And if you still believe in your dreams
And they will make you see
It's all depending on these careless games.

Oh
Who's the master - who's the slave.
Oh

Is it true when you tell me there's a place in the sky
Where you can change your mind?
Or can you see through this mirror
Without seeing yourself
When it's you who cries?

And if you still believe in your dreams
And they will make you see
It's all depending on these careless games.
It's careless games.

The same dice have been casted,
The world is wasted - goin' down down down.

The same dice have been casted,
The world is wasted - goin' down down down.

We're goin' down.
We're goin' down.




We're goin' down.
We're goin' down.

Overall Meaning

In the lyrics of "The Game," FooL explores the idea of fate and free will, and how our choices can impact the direction of our lives. The opening lines ask the listener to envision themselves on a paper plane, buffeted by winds of change, and wondering which direction they will end up going. This metaphor is then expanded upon, with the lyrics questioning whether our dreams and goals can guide us through life, or if we're simply playing careless games. The next verses deal with the idea of love and perception, wondering if we can extract ourselves from difficult situations through sheer willpower, or if we can maintain a positive outlook, even when things seem bleak.


Line by Line Meaning

Can you picture yourself on a paper plane
Can you envision yourself riding a paper airplane?


On a wind of change
On the gust of a changing world?


And which direction will take you away?
Which path will lead you elsewhere?


Will it have the range?
Will it encompass all that you desire for change?


And if you still believe in your dreams
And if you still hold on to your aspirations


And if they make you see,
And if they make you envision possibilities?


It's all depending on these careless games.
Everything hinges on these reckless plays.


Can you gather yourself from the seeds of love
Can you rally from a burgeoning seed of love?


Just for a lark?
Just to amuse yourself?


Or will you watch the world through your
Or will you observe the world through your


Colourful glass - even when it's dark.
Multicolored lens - especially when times are dull?


Oh Who's the master - who's the slave. Oh
Who's in command - who's being commanded?


Is it true when you tell me there's a place in the sky
Is it accurate when you say there's a space in the sky?


Where you can change your mind?
Where you can alter your perspective?


Or can you see through this mirror
Or can you percieve past the mirror,


Without seeing yourself
without seeing yourself?


When it's you who cries?
Even when the tears fall?


The same dice have been casted,
The same die has been rolled


The world is wasted - goin' down down down.
The planet is damaged, heading progressively downwards.


We're goin' down.
We're sinking


We're goin' down.
We're falling


We're goin' down.
We're dropping


We're goin' down.
We're descending.
