With the release of Rumour, Lunik started as a trip-hop group and evolved (some say de-volved) to a more melodic pop outfit in the early 2000s.
Jaël became known in wider audiences after her appearance on Delerium's single "After All", taken from their 2003 album "Chimera" as well as Mich Gerber's single Your Remain in 2004.
In 2013, it was announced that the band would split up after releasing the album Encore, featuring some unreleased tracks and live versions. Jaël stated in an interview that the reason of the split was that "everything had been said (what the members wanted to express together)" and the band members "didn't have fun anymore" playing together.
The Game
Lunik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About prince and princess in glittering dresses on festivals
I love sunsets when the world seems so sweet
Everything inside me is longing for a happy end
Why can't they let me be
This is me
Do I harm anyone
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
I love to stand still, feel the wind in my hair
Taste a raindrop spy out a bookshop and observe the people reading there
Why can't they let me be
This is me
Do I harm anyone
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
But this ain't life it's all about this game
Everybody shows everybody sees
everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
I whistle during shopping and weep when there's no way out
From time to time I even laugh out loud
Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
Everybody shows and everybody sees
Everybody dares and everybody fears
In the end we're all the same
Everybody knows and everybody feels
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
In the end we're all the same
Oh I don't like this game
Everybody, oh everybody knows, everybody knows
The song "The Game" by Swiss band Lunik explores the idea that life is like a game where we are all players. It starts with the singer expressing her love for fairy-tales and happy endings, but wonders why she can't just be herself without having to conform to societal norms. She loves living in harmony and enjoying music, but feels like life is just a game where everyone is playing a certain role. The chorus reiterates the idea that everyone shows, everyone sees, everybody dares, everybody fears, and in the end, we're all the same. The singer talks about enjoying the simple pleasures in life, like standing still and feeling the wind, but feels like she's still caught up in this game that she doesn't like.
The song has a melancholic and reflective tone, with a sense of resignation in the singer's voice. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who feels like they are just going through the motions in life, without really knowing what they want or who they are. The song's message is that we are all part of this game and we can choose to play it our way, even if we don't like the rules.

About prince and princess in glittering dresses on festivals
I'm fond of reading about royal figures dressed and adorned for grand celebrations
I love sunsets when the world seems so sweet
I appreciate the beauty of sunsets, when everything takes on a warm and peaceful glow
Everything inside me is longing for a happy end
My heart yearns for a satisfying conclusion to stories and experiences
Why can't they let me be
Why do others have to criticize or judge me for what I enjoy and who I am?
This is me
I am who I am and I don't want to change
Do I harm anyone
I don't see how my personal preferences and harmless actions hurt others
I love to live in harmony and die for trashy melodies
I strive to have a peaceful, joyful life and I even adore cheesy, lowbrow music
But this ain't life it's all about this game
However, I recognize that reality isn't as neat and carefree, and many things we do are just part of a bigger, competitive game
Everybody shows and everybody sees
We all display ourselves and observe each other
Everybody dares and everybody fears
We all take risks and have anxieties
In the end we're all the same
Ultimately, we all share similar experiences and emotions
Everybody knows and everybody feels
We are all aware and sensitive to different aspects of life
Everybody hurts and everybody heals
We all go through pains and wounds, but also find ways to recover and regain strength
I love to stand still, feel the wind in my hair
I find joy in being still and feeling the natural elements around me
Taste a raindrop spy out a bookshop and observe the people reading there
I take pleasure in small, spontaneous moments of savoring rain or noticing interesting places and people
I whistle during shopping and weep when there's no way out
I express myself in unexpected ways, such as humming while shopping or feeling emotional when stuck in a difficult situation
From time to time I even laugh out loud
I also have moments of genuine, unbridled laughter
Oh I don't like this game
Despite recognizing the commonalities among people, I admit to feeling discontented and disillusioned with the way life often seems like a game or competition
Everybody, oh everybody knows, everybody knows
Everybody recognizes and realizes this truth about our shared humanity
