Game Over
Poets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's times when I just blame myself
I always hoped that things would go our way, but no,
Here we are in this same old place
We have to open up our eyes
All the love we had is washed away
Everything has just become a game
Yeah, we had it all, but now it's time to say
Game Over
This time there's no more turning back, cause you know
Now we're standin' up against the wall
I only wish I knew just what went wrong, but I know
Nothing's gonna change the mess we're in
We had to open up our eyes
All the love we had is washed away
We're just acting out the parts we used to play
Everything has just become a game
Yeah, we han it all, but now it's time to say
Game Over
I guess we did the best we could
And in all the bad there was some good
But I feel there's nothing more for me to say
I can't do this anymore, no
All the love we had is washed away
We're just acting out the parts we used to play
Everything has just become a game
Yeah, we han it all, but now it's time to say
Game Over
The lyrics to Poets' song "Game Over" tell a story of a relationship gone wrong. The singer recognizes that things have changed and they are stuck in the same place. The love they had is gone, replaced by a game that they are both playing, and it's time to admit defeat and move on. The singer mentions blaming themselves for the struggles in the relationship but also acknowledges that there is nothing they can do to change the mess they are in.
The chorus is a declaration that there's no more turning back, and it's time to end the game. The singer acknowledges that there was some good in the relationship, but they are at a point where there is nothing left to say or do. They can't continue the charade any longer as everything has just become a game. There is a sense of resignation and sadness in the lyrics, indicating that this ending is not what the singer wanted, but they know it's necessary for both parties to move on and find happiness.
Overall, "Game Over" is a poignant reflection on the end of a relationship and the consequences of playing games with each other's hearts.
