Games
Kaddisfly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're armed and good to go
And come strapped with next level parables
And blueprints for another dimension
Oh one is better than nothing
A chance for us to show all that we lack
Honesty is honestly the better plan of attack
Oh with all these enigmatic games
We're right back to the start before we know who to blame
And their shits played again and again and again
Just listen to one thing
Every time you open up your eyes
Every angle seems to be another one in disguise
Talent is a difference of opinion
If I could just sell all my thoughts
I think that I could afford
An original idea, perhaps even more
And you better believe I drag on and on and on
Oh with all these enigmatic games
We're right back to the start before we know who to blame
And their shit's played again and again and again
Oh we're always off for an attack
But right back to the start before we know where we're at
And still their shit goes on again and again and again (always)
With all these enigmatic games (always)
Enigmatic games (always)
Enigmatic games (always)
Games (oh)
With all these enigmatic games (always)
Enigmatic games (always)
Enigmatic games (always)
Games (oh)
Oh with all these enigmatic games
We're right back to the start before we know who to blame
And their shits played again and again and again
Oh we're always off for an attack
But right back to the start before we know where we're at
And still their shit goes on again and again and again (always)
With all these enigmatic games (always)
Enigmatic games (always)
Enigmatic games (always)
Games (always)
This song is better than nothing.
The song "Games" by Kaddisfly decries the illusory nature of life and the frustrating games people play. The lyrics express a deep longing for honesty and authenticity, But the world is full of games that make it hard to cut through the mystery and get to the truth. The song encourages the listener to focus on one thing, to be honest and approach life with honorable intentions. However, even with the best of intentions, people still get caught up in enigmatic games that leave them right back where they started, unsure of who to blame for their plight.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and desperation in the lyrics. The idea that honesty is the best policy and the need for original ideas are recurring themes. The allusions to games and being off for an attack suggest a sense of competitiveness and futility—as if we’re always trying to win but never quite getting there. Ultimately, the lyrics suggest a sense of resignation, a belief that the cycle of enigmatic games, played again and again, will continue ad infinitum, leaving us nowhere. The song is thought-provoking in its portrayal of the struggle to find meaning and purpose in life despite the illusions and games that get in the way.
Line by Line Meaning
Just listen to one thing
Pay attention to this one important point
We're armed and good to go
We are well-prepared
And come strapped with next level parables
We bring complex stories and teachings
And blueprints for another dimension
And ideas for a new approach
Oh one is better than nothing
Having something is better than nothing
A chance for us to show all that we lack
An opportunity to demonstrate our weaknesses
Honesty is honestly the better plan of attack
Being truthful is the best way to handle the situation
Come on, man! Honorable intentions!
Let's have good intentions
Oh with all these enigmatic games
These confusing and mysterious situations
We're right back to the start before we know who to blame
We end up back where we started, unsure of who is at fault
And their shits played again and again and again
The same thing happens repeatedly
Every time you open up your eyes
Every time you look around
Every angle seems to be another one in disguise
Every perspective appears to be something different
Talent is a difference of opinion
People have varying definitions of what talent is
If I could just sell all my thoughts
If I could monetize my ideas
I think that I could afford
I believe I could make a lot of money
An original idea, perhaps even more
An innovative concept, maybe more than one
And you better believe I drag on and on and on
And I would talk about it incessantly
Oh we're always off for an attack
We are constantly ready to fight
But right back to the start before we know where we're at
But ultimately, end up right where we began without knowing our position
And still their shit goes on again and again and again (always)
And yet the same events continue to occur repeatedly
Enigmatic games (always)
Puzzling situations and events
Games (oh)
A metaphor for life's unpredictable challenges and obstacles
