Ace of Spades
Leshak Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man,
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me,
The pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say,
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades

Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live forever,
And don't forget the joker!

Pushing up the ante, I know you got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,




The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Leshak's song "Ace of Spades" are about the excitement of gambling and taking risks. The singer describes himself as a skilled gambler who enjoys the game for its own sake, and is not motivated by greed. He is drawn to the thrill of playing for high stakes, and takes pleasure in outsmarting his opponents. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "The Ace of Spades," which is seen by the singer as the ultimate card, the one that will bring him victory.


The lyrics also touch on the idea of mortality and the fleeting nature of life. The singer acknowledges that he may be "born to lose," but he enjoys living life on the edge and is not afraid to take chances. He embraces the idea of living in the moment and taking risks, rather than playing it safe and trying to hold on to life indefinitely. The mention of the joker at the end of the song signifies that even when things don't go according to plan, the singer is still able to find some measure of enjoyment in the game.
