Game Over
One Fine Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick of all those crazy heads
deciding 'bout the warfare
but don't dare
to imagine what it takes
to fight against another
scared father
I carry on
believing peace must become
number one
I'm not the weak part of your scenery
before I kill in your name I'll break free
it's not a game you easily quit
you can't just start all over
game over
every level of my life I always state
what my heart tells me
and I carry on
believing peace must become
number one
I'm not the weak part of your scenery
before I kill in your name I'll break free
are we all game over or just blind
I'm not the weak part of your scenery
before I kill in your name I'll break free
The song "Game Over" by One Fine Day is about the horrors of war and the struggle for peace. The lyrics warn against following blindly into war, being caught up in the game of political power at the expense of human lives. The singer declares that he refuses to be a pawn in someone else's war, that he will break free before he kills in someone else's name. The chorus "It's not a game you easily quit, you can't just start all over, game over" is a poignant reminder that war is not a game, and that the consequences are permanent, affecting generations to come.
The song is filled with striking imagery and emotional depth as it calls for peace amidst a world of violence. The singer speaks of being sick of "crazy heads deciding 'bout the warfare", showing the frustration of many people with those in power who make decisions that affect the lives of millions. The lyrics are written in a way that highlights the dehumanizing nature of war, "to fight against another scared father." The singer refuses to be reduced to a mere part of someone else's "scenery", and will not be a part of something that goes against his heart's desire for peace.
