Lena Fayre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A place to be alone
Somewhere you can find
Your heart and peace of mind
I don't wanna get caught in the middle
I can do it all on my own, not a kid oh
I can do it all on my own, not a kid oh
Say the words you mean to say
Don't get caught up in the game
Hear it like you feel it play
No two hearts the same
Oh, oh
Go along, you've grown
Somewhere you've found a home
I can see you're scared
I can see you care
I don't wanna get caught in the middle
I can do it all on my own, not a kid oh
I don't wanna get caught in the middle
I can do it all on my own, not a kid oh
Say the words you mean to say
Don't get caught up in the game
Hear it like you feel it play
No two hearts the same
Oh, oh
Who needs a brain when we have these games
And i don't know what i want, but for now stay the same
Sonny chiba couldn't beat this, this is where i'm supposed to be
We grow old and we turn like leaves, and i don't know what i want
But for now stay the same, sonny chiba couldn't beat this
This is where i'm supposed to be
Who needs a brain when we have these games
And i don't know what i want, but for now stay the same (oh, oh)
Sonny chiba couldn't beat this, this is where i'm supposed to be
We grow old and we turn like leaves, and i don't know what i want
But for now stay the same (oh, oh), sonny chiba couldn't beat this
This is where i'm supposed to be
Say the words you mean to say (oh, oh)
Don't get caught up in the game
Hear it like you feel it play (oh, oh)
No two hearts the same
In "Games," Lena Fayre sings about the importance of finding a personal space where one can find peace of mind and be alone with their thoughts. The song encourages listeners to avoid getting caught up in the games that people often play, instead urging them to be truthful with their words and feelings. Lena acknowledges that growing older can be a scary prospect leading to uncertainty and confusion, but maintains that she can handle it all on her own and is not a child anymore.
The chorus repeats the idea of not wanting to be caught in the middle, and instead choosing to stay true to oneself. The verses explore the theme of personal growth and finding a sense of home, even in the face of fear and uncertainty. The bridge seems to suggest that sometimes people use mind games as a way of avoiding facing their true desires and needs in life.
Overall, "Games" is a reflective and introspective song that encourages listeners to find comfort and stability within themselves, rather than relying on others or getting caught up in societal pressure.

This world, this world
It isn't enough for me
When heaven is so out of reach
I see, I see
You love life more than me
It is never how it should be
I need, I need
You to tell me how to be
I'm painting the sky for you and me
So far, so far
I can taste it on your tongue
The words you've said in all the songs I've sung
Compare me to the sea
To rhyme in poetry
I'm done fighting you
Compare me to the sea
To rhyme in poetry
I'm done fighting you
Too late, too late
To live any other way
When all I have to give is company
I know, I know
I don't mind being on my own
If I'm not free then what is left of me
Compare me to the sea
To rhyme in poetry
I'm done fighting you
Compare me to the sea
To rhyme in poetry
I'm done fighting you
To give you everything's not what I want
When I'm living how I always knew I would be
To give you everything's not what I want
When I'm living how I should be
Compare me to the sea
To rhyme in poetry
I'm done fighting you
Compare me to the sea
To rhyme in poetry
I'm done fighting you
