Games
Rude Buddha Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sitting outside your house tonight
So many things I want to say
but do I have the right
Just give me five minutes to suck up my pride
I took you for granted its time to fight for what's mine
if you'd only turn on your light

(chorus)

its all part of the games
the games that we play flower in the rain (repeat)

You say I'm selfish for the way I act but its who I am
I'm longing to ride the waves of life
and leave my fingerprints in the sand
But now I'm lost in my car with my foot on the gas
I took you for granted I guess this is a test I have to pass

(chorus)

Now I'm lost in my car with my foot on the gas
reflections of you, through stained glass
I see you smiling at me, your smiling at me
you smiled at me and said come in

(chorus)





It's all part of the game

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rude Buddha's song "Games" expresses the feeling of regret and longing after taking someone for granted. The singer is outside their former partner's house, wanting to apologize and make things right. However, they are unsure if they have the right to do so. The singer acknowledges their past selfish behavior but also expresses their desire to live life to the fullest and leave their mark on the world. They are lost and unsure of what to do next, but they see a glimmer of hope when they see their former partner's smile through a stained glass window. The chorus repeats the phrase "it's all part of the games, the games we play flower in the rain," which suggests that relationships are complex and full of challenges but can still bring beauty and growth.


Overall, the lyrics of the song can be interpreted as a reflection on the ups and downs of relationships, and the importance of valuing and cherishing the people we love. It also touches on the idea that taking risks and pursuing our passions may sometimes cause us to neglect the people around us, but ultimately, we can still work to make things right.
