The Game
The Game ft Travis Barker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Fuck this
Fuck this
Fuck!
Fuck this shit you call society
Fuck this fake news media
Fuck this government brainwashing
Fuck this, I'm fucking out
War, that is what they want
Colonies, that is what they had
More of this, that is what they desire
Bored pigs, that is what they are
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck
Kill me mother
Break me brother
Wreck me sister
Illusioned freedom right in front of us
Suppression to the ones that try to use their brain
Confusion causes violence and chaos
Regression is the end of life
A lost game
Illusioned freedom right in front of us
Suppression to the ones that try use their brain
Confusion causes violence and chaos
Regression is the end of life
A lost game
Kill me
Break me
Wreck me
End me
The lyrics to The Game's song, "The GAME" are a powerful expression of frustration and disillusionment with society, the media, and the government. The refrain of "Fuck this" repeated throughout the song is a clear and direct statement of the artist's rejection of the status quo. The first verse expresses anger at the state of society, calling out its fake news media, brainwashing government, and boredom with its desire for war, colonies, and more of the same. The second verse further elaborates on the illusion of freedom, the suppression of independent thought, and the chaos that results from confusion.
The repeated calls to "kill me, break me, wreck me, end me" suggest a deep sense of hopelessness and despair, as if the artist is being crushed by the weight of the broken system he sees around him. The song feels like a protest, a call to action, and a desperate plea for change all at once.
