Wicked Game
Raign Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you
No I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love... with you
With you
What a wicked game to play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way
What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you
No, I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love... with you
With you
This world will break your heart
Nobody loves no one
Nobody loves no one
The opening lines of Raign's song Wicked Game paint a picture of despair in which the world is falling apart, and even in the midst of chaos, the only person who could potentially save the singer is the person they desire. The lyrics suggest that desire has a way of making people act foolishly, as the singer never expected to meet someone like the object of their desire, nor did they expect to lose them. Despite these intense feelings, the singer repeatedly declares that they do not want to fall in love with this person, almost as if to protect themselves from the potential heartbreak they are already feeling.
The chorus of the song uses the phrase "wicked game" four times to describe the tumultuous nature of the singer's feelings. This game is described as "wicked" because it is making the singer feel a way they do not want to feel, and the object of their desire seems to be intentionally manipulating their emotions by saying and doing things that make the singer dream of them, even though they claim to not feel the same way. The final lines of the song, "This world will break your heart / Nobody loves no one / Nobody loves no one," suggest that love is a futile endeavor that ultimately leads to heartbreak and disappointment.

You have inspired me. I've had suicidal thoughts, when I heard this song something in my head just snapped, I 've forgotten about suicide since then and have been thinking of the future.
Your song has just brought me up from dirt and now I'm up here with all the others.
You are a inspiration, I will try to get my family listen to your songs
