Videogame
Shandon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

World of videogames
With the games of space
You nedd it for living alone
And your mental condition surrounds itself
In a visual controlled device
Your belief is that this game is educative
But the only desire is to push the button
And the higher score is the only thought
A new dimension,world invasion
What's living in your mind
Think of your time many hour repressed
To live in a better way




Another day,another game
Another level to go beyond
