Wicked game
Isaak Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I 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 world is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
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
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I 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 world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (with you)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)

The singer acknowledges that they are in love but are afraid of the inevitable heartbreak that comes with it.

They have made the singer feel a certain way, dream of them and confess their love, only to take it away in the end.
The song ends with the phrase "nobody loves no one," a sad statement that shows the singer's despair and disillusionment with love. Overall, "Wicked Game" is a powerful song that speaks to the pain of heartbreak and the fear of falling in love.
