Game for Fools ---
Jamie Lidell Lyrics

The first moment you hesitate
When you're faced with a decision, and you feel unsure or afraid, that's the first moment you hesitate

Better ask yourself why
It's important to ask yourself why you're hesitating, what's holding you back, and what you're afraid of

Don't you wait until it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late to take action or make a decision, as this will lead to negative consequences

Until something inside has died
Hesitation can often lead to regret and a loss of opportunity. By waiting until it's too late, you risk losing something important and losing a part of yourself in the process

When you're paralysed, no direction at all
When you're overwhelmed by fear or uncertainty, it can be hard to know which way to turn or what to do next

Found yourself way up high
You might find yourself in a position of power or influence, but this can also make you feel vulnerable and exposed

No there's only space to fall
Being in a high position can be dangerous if you don't know what you're doing or if you make a mistake. There's always the risk of falling down again

When you're losing
When you're not succeeding or achieving your goals, it can be frustrating and discouraging

Even when you know the rules
Even if you understand how the game is played or what you need to do to succeed, it can still be difficult to win or achieve your goals

Must be a game for fools
Sometimes it can feel like the game of life is rigged against you, or that success is out of reach no matter what you do

Yeah it's easy down the line
It can be tempting to take the easy way out or to avoid taking risks or making changes in your life

To make a map of your lies
It can be easy to deceive yourself or others, and to create a false sense of security by lying or avoiding the truth

But you can't keep on
You can't keep lying to yourself or others forever, as eventually the truth will come out or you'll have to face the consequences

Keep on keeping the truth
It's important to be honest with yourself and others, even if it's difficult or uncomfortable

Well disguised
Lies and deception can be hard to detect or see through, especially if they're disguised as something else

Acting like it was alright
Pretending that things are okay or that you're happy, even when you're not, can be a form of self-deception or denial

When it was all wrong
If you're not honest with yourself, you risk making choices or decisions that are not in your best interest, and that can lead to negative outcomes

And you feel you've wasted so much time
Looking back on your choices or actions, you might feel like you've lost time or missed opportunities because of your hesitation or lack of honesty

Forever
This feeling of regret or loss can linger for a long time, and can be hard to shake off

Trying to make up your mind
When you're indecisive or unsure of what to do, it can be hard to take action or move forward

Now it's clear you should have just moved on
Looking back on a situation or decision, you might realize that you should have acted sooner or made a different choice

Simply packed your bags and gone
Sometimes the best thing to do is to walk away from a situation or relationship that is causing you pain or holding you back

You can kiss those plans goodbye
If you hesitate too long or don't take action, you risk losing the opportunity to achieve your goals or make your plans a reality

Or something inside might die
Continuing to hesitate or avoid making decisions can lead to a sense of hopelessness or despair, and can make you feel like giving up on your dreams

If you're losing
When you're not succeeding or achieving your goals, you might feel discouraged or hopeless

When you know
Even if you understand what you need to do to succeed, it can still be difficult to actually achieve your goals

Yeah you know all the rules
You might have all the knowledge or skills you need to succeed, but success also depends on luck, timing, and other factors outside of your control

Must be playing a game for fools
Sometimes it can feel like the game of life is rigged against you, or that success is out of reach no matter what you do

Congratulations
This word is used sarcastically, to suggest that even though you might be trying your best or doing everything right, success still seems out of reach

Yeah you're winning the game
This line is also used sarcastically, to suggest that even though you might be trying your best or doing everything right, success still seems out of reach. Winning the game is a metaphor for achieving your goals and being successful in life

For fools
This phrase suggests that the game of life is designed to make people feel foolish or unsuccessful, even if they're trying their best or doing everything right
