True to the Game
Madball Lyrics

The lyrics of Madball's song "True to the Game" demonstrate the frustration of the singer living in a world where people try to become what they are not. The singer can see through the illusions and fantasies that people are creating for themselves, but others seem to be unaware of the false reality they've generated. The individuals who are living a fantasy believe that their life is real, but those who are "true to the game" can see that it's a game. The people who are living a dream and trying to present a false reality to others don't deserve the fame that comes with it.

The singer of the song maintains that he will remain "true to the game," even if it means not receiving the same recognition as those who are living a false reality. The singer doesn't aspire to achieve fame through deception or illusion. Instead, he firmly believes in authenticity and is willing to stay true to himself, even if it means being pushed around. The singer explicitly demonstrates hostility and disgust towards those individuals that use deception for personal gain. The song, as a whole, highlights the importance of remaining authentic and not losing oneself in pursuit of fame, fortune, or other superficial desires.
