Love's a Game
Trippynova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Find my way this time
I hear you calling me soon
One of these days
Somebody stays and somebody pays
It happens all the time
Maybe I'm a fool
For walking in line
Maybe I should try to lead this time
I'm an honest mistake that you make
Did you mean to?
Did you mean
Did you mean
Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true
And they collared you up
And collared you down
And coloured you in
And I've been waiting so long
To take you home
And maybe I think, maybe I don't
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
Find my way tonight
But I hear you calling me soon
Maybe I'm a fool
For walking in line
Maybe I should try to lead this time
I'm an honest mistake that you make
Did you mean to?
Did you mean
Did you mean
Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true
Maybe I'm a fool
For walking in line
Maybe I should try to lead this time
I'm an honest mistake that you made
Did you mean to?
Did you mean
Did you mean
Love is just a game
Broken all the same
And I will get over you
Love is just a lie
Happens all the time
Swear I know this much is true
The lyrics of Trippynova's song "Love's a Game" suggests the complexity and uncertainty of love, as the singer expresses indecision and confusion about their feelings towards their partner. The first stanza, "Oh maybe I think, maybe I don't, maybe I will, maybe I won't, find my way this time. I hear you calling me soon," suggests a hesitation to commit to a decision about the relationship. The singer then contemplates the inevitability of breakups, saying "One of these days, somebody stays, and somebody pays. It happens all the time. I'll be leaving, believing you wanted me to."
The chorus, "Love is just a game, broken all the same, and I will get over you. Love is just a lie, happens all the time, swear I know this much is true," reflects a cynical outlook on love and the belief that it is not worth investing in completely. The lines "Maybe I'm a fool for walking in line, maybe I should try to lead this time," suggests the singer's desire to take a more active role in the relationship and not just go along with the flow.
Overall, "Love's a Game" is a contemplative and introspective song that acknowledges the complications of love and the challenges of navigating its uncertain terrain.

Oh maybe I think, maybe I don't
Confusion about a decision I have to make
Maybe I will, maybe I won't
The decision is a tough one
Find my way this time
Hopeful for success despite uncertainty
I hear you calling me soon
Someone is reaching out to me
One of these days
At some point in the future
Somebody stays and somebody pays
Someone gets hurt in relationships
It happens all the time
A common occurrence
I'll be leaving, believing you wanted me to
I feel like you want me to leave
Maybe I'm a fool
Admitting a lack of judgment
For walking in line
Being too obedient to others
Maybe I should try to lead this time
Suggesting a change in strategy
I'm an honest mistake that you make
A decision that wasn't thought through
Did you mean to?
Asking if the mistake was intentional
Love is just a game
Romance can be unpredictable
Broken all the same
Even when it ends, it still hurts
And I will get over you
I will move on from this heartbreak
Love is just a lie
Not all love is true or real
Happens all the time
A common experience
Swear I know this much is true
I believe this to be fact
And they collared you up
Someone was controlling you
And collared you down
Brought you down emotionally
And coloured you in
Manipulated your personality or behavior
And I've been waiting so long
Patiently anticipating something
To take you home
To create a place of safety for you
