Game Over
Third Bike Wheel Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your words don't mean,they don't mean anything
So shut your mouth and leave me all alone
The way you are is not the way I am
I hate you,welcome to reality

If you think you are pure because you've got
Great shoes and a skate shop on your street
Being punkers mean more than wearing a
Dead Kennedys's T-shirt or having dreds on your head

Punk it's more than physical
Punk it's not a ritual
Punk is not here to be superficial
Punk is everything you say
Punk it's not a holiday
Punk is here everyday
Punk is not a game over

I'm poor,you're wise but I write(my songs)by myself
I don't look good and I'm not popular
I'm outdated but I don't give a shit
I want to live this life with my real convictions

Short,sweet and conventional
Fast,easy but forgot by all
Warm up the old recipeand sell it out
Fifteen minutes of glory
Based-on-greed philosophy
Overloaded melodies
Punk is not a game over

Game over,punk is not a game over
Game over,punk is not a game over

Fake,plastic and pumped-up breast
One-line barbies,I'm the best
Show me the money and I'll show you my body
I'm stupid but beautiful
I'm proud to be artificial




I'm a machine in a mould
Punk is not a game over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Third Bike Wheel's song "Game Over" explore the true meaning of punk culture and the superficiality that often comes with it. The song suggests that wearing punk rock clothing and accessories, such as Dead Kennedys' T-shirts and dreadlocks, does not make one a true punk. It implies that punk is a way of life and a set of values, rather than just a fashion statement. The song also critiques the objectification and commodification of the female body in popular culture.


The opening lines of the song, "your words don't mean, they don't mean anything, so shut your mouth and leave me all alone," suggests a general disdain for shallow conversations and empty words. The singer wants to be left alone and doesn’t want to partake in any sort of superficial conversation. The song then delves into the idea that punk isn't just about aesthetics; it's a lifestyle and a way of thinking. The lines, "Being punkers mean more than wearing a Dead Kennedys's T-shirt or having dreds on your head. Punk it's more than physical, punk it's not a ritual" conveys this idea of being more than just your outward appearance.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that punk is not just a passing trend: "Punk is not a game over." This further drives home the point that punk is a way of life and not just a temporary fad. The song concludes by calling out the artificiality and superficiality that is often present in popular culture, particularly in the objectification of women.


Overall, Third Bike Wheel's "Game Over" is a commentary on punk culture, society at large, and what it means to be authentic. The song critiques superficiality and emphasizes the importance of being true to oneself and one's values.
