The Game
Mud Flow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Could you stop the rain
Turn away and keep all the pain inside
And then you catch yourself
Could you stop breathing
Until that shadows comes and takes you away
Then you know you've won
But it's too late
Could you keep a secret
As long as I am around ?
As long as you decide it ?
You know when it's time to wake me up





As long as you play the game

Overall Meaning

The song "The Game" by Mud Flow talks about the internal struggles that one goes through in life. The first verse talks about how one wishes they could stop the rain and keep all the pain inside them. This shows how one tries to hide their emotions and deal with them on their own instead of sharing it with others.


The chorus talks about how one feels like they have won when they give up and no longer have to face their struggles anymore. However, it's too late at that point as they have given up on themselves. The second verse talks about the importance of keeping secrets and having trust in someone. It's important to have someone to confide in when going through tough times, and they will be there for you when it's time to wake up.


Overall, the song talks about how the game of life is full of conflicts and struggles, and one needs to keep playing and pushing through it to come out stronger on the other side. It's important to have someone to rely on and not give up on oneself.
