The Game
Twilight Guardians Lyrics

The lyrics of Twilight Guardians' song The Game can be interpreted in a few ways. One way is that it is a conversation between a parent and child. The first verse, "Hey child of mine, did I tell you that it feels all right, we're both here to be satisfied, I know it, we could make it right," seems to be a reassurance from the parent to the child that everything is going to be okay. The parent recognizes that the child may have some worries or concerns, but they are both in this together and can work to make things better. The second verse, "Hey child of mine, tell me how you feel inside, I'll be tender, I'll be kind, I know we'll get through this time," furthers this sentiment, with the parent asking the child to open up and share their feelings, promising to be there for them.

However, the third verse takes a darker turn. The lyrics, "Hey old guy, I don't care now what you try, I've been through this thousand times, tomorrow you won't have a dime," suggest a confrontation between the younger generation and the older generation. The younger person is confident that they can outsmart and outplay the older person, and that their way of doing things is superior. The chorus, "I am new world's way, this is how we play, welcome to this game, rules on the screen everyday," reinforces this idea. The "new world" is played by different rules, and the older generation may not be able to keep up.

Overall, The Game seems to be about the clashes between generations and the changing times. It suggests that while it may be difficult to navigate these changes, ultimately people can work together to overcome them.
