Wicked game
Stone Sour feat. Johnny Depp Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Strange what desire will make foolish people do.
And I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you,
And 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
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 that way
What a wicked thing to do
To make me dream of you
And I don't wanna fall in love
No, I don't wanna fall in love
With you
With you
World was on fire and no one could save me but you.
Strange what desire will make foolish people do.
And I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you,
And 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
No I
No I
Nobody loves no one
The lyrics of Stone Sour's "Wicked Game" describe the complexities of desire and the pain that can come with it. The world is portrayed as being in chaos with no way to save it, but the singer finds solace in a romantic connection with someone who seems to offer hope. However, the singer is aware that desire can make people do foolish things, and they never expected to meet someone like this person or to experience the intense feelings they have. The lyrics express longing and vulnerability, with the singer admitting that they don't want to fall in love but are already deeply invested in this person. The repeated phrase "What a wicked thing to do" highlights the sense of confusion and pain caused by falling for someone and not being sure if they feel the same way. The song ends with a haunting statement, "Nobody loves no one," indicating that the singer's fears were ultimately realized and the relationship didn't work out.

Thank you for playing the actual notes.
So many don’t have the respect to keep it to the chords of the writer.
This was a mesh of words and melody.

Jogo Malvado
O mundo estava em chamas e
Ninguém podia me salvar, a não ser você
É estranho o que o desejo faz as pessoas tolas fazerem
Eu nunca sonhei que conheceria alguém como você
Eu nunca sonhei que perderia alguém como você
Não, eu não quero me apaixonar
(essa garota só vai quebrar seu coração)
Não, eu não quero me apaixonar
(essa garota só vai quebrar seu coração)
Por você
Que jogo malvado você jogou
Que me faz sentir desta forma
Que coisa malvada de se fazer
Deixar-me sonhar com você
Que coisa malvada pra se dizer
Que você nunca se sentiu assim
Que coisa malvada de se fazer
Me fazer sonhar com você
E eu não quero me apaixonar
(essa garota só vai quebrar seu coração)
Não, eu não quero me apaixonar
(essa garota só vai quebrar seu coração)
Por você
O mundo estava em chamas e
Ninguém podia me salvar, a não ser você
É estranho o que o desejo faz as pessoas tolas fazerem
Eu nunca sonhei que amaria alguém como você
Eu nunca sonhei que perderia alguém como você
Não, eu não quero me apaixonar
(essa garota só vai quebrar seu coração)
Não, eu não quero me apaixonar
(essa garota só vai quebrar seu coração)
Por você
Não, eu
Ninguém ama ninguém
@MrBlizzard769
This man is just insane . He goes from one extreme - to the other and nails it all . A true gift to music . God bless him. His voice is just heavenly and untainted by modern musicians
@QenaitheCustodianGuard
One of the greatest vocalist of our generation, he has an ungodly range
@amandanewell4368
He is fucking amazing
@trivianene
agree
@johndavies5582
Ummm it was ok.....even decent and for a metal guy for sure....but vocal range and what not it's average
@jstu8
One of my favorite songs. I’ve never seen this version and all I have to say is, well fck me running. I felt that all over.
@robinfletcher8968
I don't think enough people realize what a beautiful voice Corey Taylor has!❣
@benyoung552
Oh plenty realize it… It kinda made him really famous you know
@beverlyshittu6003
I knew he had a good voice for metal, then I heard From Can To Can't and Wow!
@GTASynch
Well I didn't know, yet I do now. I noticed him in Slipknot, but when I heard the Stone Sour Zeppelin and Van Halen covers it made me aware.
Then I find this, just incredible. So much talent, such a great vocalist.
