Lights of Euphoria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I knew somebody like you
No, I don′t want to fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't want to fall in love
With you
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you and
I want to fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I′d love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I′d lose somebody like you, no
No, I want to fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I want to fall in love
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I...
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
The lyrics of Lights of Euphoria's song Wicked Game discusses the complexities and irrationality of desire and love. The singer proclaims that the world was in chaos, and they felt helpless and on the verge of destruction. However, one person was able to save them, the person they desire. The singer recognizes that desire can make people do foolish things, which they never imagined doing before. They never thought they could meet someone as special as the person they desire.
Despite the strong emotions the singer has toward their love interest, they are hesitant to pursue a relationship. They believe that falling in love will only lead to heartbreak, given the state of the world. However, they simultaneously admit the desire to be with the person they are in love with, recognizing it as a wicked game they play with their emotions. As the chorus repeats, the lyrics reveal the singer's inner conflict between wanting to fall in love and fearing heartbreak. The song ends with the melancholy statement that "nobody loves no one", suggesting that love is futile in a world of chaos and destruction.
