Wicked game
Talia Lahoud 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
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do, to let 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
And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you
The world was on fire and no one could save me but you
Strange what desire will make foolish people do
I never dreamed that I'd love somebody like you
And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (this world is only gonna break your heart)
With you (with you)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
No, I (this world is only gonna break your heart)
(This world is only gonna break your heart)
Nobody loves no one
The lyrics of Talia Lahoud's song "Wicked Game" depict a passionate and tumultuous love affair. The first verse begins with a sense of chaos, as the world is described as being on fire and beyond saving. However, there is one person who has the power to salvage the situation and provide solace, and that person is the subject of the song. The singer acknowledges that desire can lead people to behave foolishly, but they never expected to encounter someone like the person they are singing about. The juxtaposition of meeting this extraordinary person and subsequently losing them creates a sense of longing and sorrow.
The chorus reflects the singer's reluctance to fall in love. They assert that the world will only end up breaking their heart if they allow themselves to fall in love. This sentiment is repeated twice, emphasizing the singer's apprehension and fear of getting hurt. At the same time, there is a sense of conflict within the singer, as they express their wish to avoid falling in love while acknowledging their feelings for the person in question.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional turmoil caused by this love interest. The singer describes the wicked game the person is playing, as it makes them feel a certain way, igniting strong emotions within them. They recognize the wickedness in allowing themselves to dream of and desire this person. The person's words and actions, however, further deepen the singer's emotions, as they express that this person has never experienced the same level of affection. The singer questions the morality of this person's actions in leading them on and fueling their dreams.
The final repetition of the chorus reiterates the singer's resistance to falling in love, particularly with this person. It echoes their uncertainty and fear of heartbreak, emphasizing the idea that the world only leads to disappointment and pain. The final line of the song, "Nobody loves no one," reflects a sense of loneliness and resignation. It suggests that the singer believes love is ultimately futile and unattainable, leaving them feeling empty and unloved.
Overall, the lyrics of "Wicked Game" explore the conflicting emotions that arise from a passionate yet complicated love affair. The singer expresses their hesitancy to fall in love, the temptation and torment caused by the object of their affection, and their ultimate realization that love often ends in heartbreak.
