The Game
Krissy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He left nothing but his scent
And words he promise me are now lost in the wind
He's the sweetest taste of sin
When he went in for the kill
But i ever stood a chance stand up againts him
They told me to run
But look what i′ve done
Im locked up in this labyrinth he calls fun
And im done i say that im done
I got nowhere left to run
Say our lips kisses had me like a gun
Im hypnotized by his eyes
And a mystery they leave behind
He's the fire to my eyes but what do i want?
Wouldn't kill me in time no suprise
Im the masochist to his demise
Say if it′s fight or flight
He′s gone even before the night just light
Yehey. hehyey... ohhh... woah. ohh...
Stare to the scars he made
And i forget where they came
When he's close i know there is no way for me to be safe
His in love with the game and he likes the way i play
Its a never ending cycle to this ′win the last chase'.
They told me to run
But look what i′ve done
Im locked up labyrinth he calls fun
And im done i say that im done
I got nowhere left to run
Say our lips kisses had me like a gun
Im hypnotized by his eyes
And a mystery they leave behind
He's the fire to my eyes but what do i want?
Wouldn′t kill me in time no suprise
Im the masochist to his demise
Say if it's fight or flight
He's gone even before the night just light...
Yehheyy. yeah.ooohh. owoahh yeahh... oohh... ohh...
Heheyey... heh... hehehh...
I′ve always know he′s a master of disguise
And i always fall for it every single time
And he comes to leave he's never for me to keep
I let him do what he likes
Im hypnotized by his eyes
And a mystery they leave behind
He′s the fire to my eyes but what do i want?
Wouldn't kill me in time no suprise
Im the masochist to his demise
Say if it′s fight or flight
He's gone even before the night just light...
Yeheyey.
He′s gone before
He's gone before
He's gone even before the night just light...
Yehehehh... woahh ohhh.
He′s gone even before the night just light...
In Krissy's song "The Game," the lyrics express a difficult situation of being caught up in a game of love with someone who is difficult to resist. The song's protagonist is unable to forget the scent and promises of the person, despite being warned to run away. She finds herself locked up in the person's "labyrinth," a place the person refers to as fun, and she is unable to leave. The singer is almost addicted to the person's charm, described as the "sweetest taste of sin," and the hold he has over her. However, the song ends with her acceptance that even though this person entices her with his fire, it is not what she wants, and she is the masochist to his eventual downfall.
The lyrics of this song explore the complexity of emotions attached to an addictive, toxic relationship. Despite being warned to run away, the singer cannot help but get caught up in the person's charm, described as the "sweetest taste of sin." The labyrinth referred to could be symbolic of being lost in the confusing emotions and feelings of this destructive relationship. The singer is aware that this person is not good for her and that the game they play is not healthy, but she finds herself led by his hypnotic eyes and unable to break free. This lyrically powerful song tells of the struggle to break free from a toxic love that is consuming the will of the singer.
