Love Out Loud is continually looking forward to the new opportunities they will have to experience in music and life alike. All the while, remembering why they have made it this far, and where they came from.

Love Out Loud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel like the first one
Walking in a new arcade
I′ve got this new obsession
And a pocket full of change
Investing on love
Reaching levels that I can't explain
I think I love her more than video games
Oh oh oh
She′s got me falling now
Like a brick in Tetris
Invading castles now
That girl's a princess
Oh oh, the way she moves
I know we're not playin′
She′s got me changing my ways
I think I love her more than my video games
Oh oh oh
I'm changing my ways
As she stays the same
I think I love her more than my video games
I′m like her pacman
Trying to set a new high score
She's like that cherry fruit
That I was looking for
Life′s like a maze sometimes
You never know the way to go
But we're going strong
And simple like pong
And its on like Donkey Kong
Oh oh oh
She′s got me falling now
Like a brick in Tetris
Invading castles now
That girl's a princess
Oh oh, the way she moves
I know we're not playin′
She′s got me changing my ways
I think I love her more than my video games
Oh oh oh
I'm changing my ways
And she stays the same
I think I love her more than my video games
Oh oh oh
She′s got me falling now
Like a brick in Tetris
Invading castles now
That girl's a princess
Oh oh, the way she moves
I know we′re not playin'
She′s got me changing my ways
I think I love her more than my video games
I'm changing my ways
As she stays the same




I think I love her more than my video games

Overall Meaning

The song "Video Games" by Love Out Loud is a love song that compares falling in love to playing video games. The lyrics describe the feeling of being new to an arcade, full of excitement and obsessions, and investing all of their energy into love, just like a video game. The singer compares himself to different video game characters - a Pacman trying to set a new high score and navigating through the maze of life, and a player in "Donkey Kong" trying to overcome obstacles to win the prize. Through these comparisons, the lyrics convey a sense of devotion and loyalty, as the singer declares his love for the girl he's fallen for.


The chorus of the song is particularly catchy, with the repeated phrase "She's got me falling now like a brick in Tetris, invading castles now that girl's a princess." This imagery of falling blocks and castle invasions fits perfectly with the video game theme of the song, and also hints at the sense of adventure and excitement that comes with being in love. The instrumental accompaniment is upbeat and bouncy, matching the energetic and playful tone of the lyrics.
