Game Over
pornophonique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She has taken all my live
She gave me good times
She gave me bad times
And then she gave me her good-bye
There's no heart inside of her
She is just a slot-machine
The most cold-heart evil zombie bitch that I have ever seen
My game is over
I'm not her lover
I'm not her lover anymore
She said sorry as she told me that I'm not even in her highscore
Forever and ever no more together
Such a vain endeavor in this game called love
No more lies
No more doubt
The game is over
Over and out
Now I'm scattered
Now I'm broken
I can't take it anymore
I ain't nothin' but the shadow of the man that I was before
And so I beg for mercy
For an extraball to play
One more life
Only one more life to face the trouble on my way
My game is over
I'm not her lover
I'm not her lover anymore
She said sorry as she told me that I'm not even in her highscore
Forever and ever no more together
Such a vain endeavor in this game called love
No more lies
No more doubt
The game is over
Over and out
Now all the players gettin' ready
Even though there's no way to win
They feed the slot-machines with tokens
They can't fill the void within
My game is over
I'm not her lover
I'm not her lover anymore
She said sorry as she told me that I'm not even in her highscore
Forever and ever no more together
Such a vain endeavor in this game called love
No more lies
No more doubt
The game is over
Over and out
The lyrics of pornophonique's song "Game Over" narrate the story of a man who has been played by a woman whom he thought he loved. It starts with him feeling devastated and dejected after realizing that she has taken all of his money and his love, leaving him with only the memories of the good times and bad times that they shared together. He then describes her as a "cold-heart evil zombie bitch" with no heart inside her, emphasizing how her actions have made him question his self-worth and feel broken.
The chorus of the song repeatedly declares "My game is over, I'm not her lover anymore," suggesting that the singer has finally understood that he has lost in the game of love with this woman who only saw him as a means to an end. He talks about how she told him that he is not even in her high score, which shows that she was only interested in looking for someone who could satisfy her needs and provide her with the most significant benefits. The final verse talks about the other players who are also getting ready to play the game, suggesting that the cycle of heartbreak continues, and everyone is looking for the next person to fill the void within them.
Overall, the song is a commentary on how people often treat love like a game, where they only care about winning and fulfilling their needs. The singer's journey through the lyrics highlights the pain and devastation that comes from being played and manipulated in such a game.
Line by Line Meaning
She has taken all my money
She has drained me of all my financial resources
She has taken all my live
She has taken away all my vitality and energy
She gave me good times
She did provide me with uplifting experiences
She gave me bad times
But she also subjected me to devastating situations
And then she gave me her good-bye
Ultimately, she broke off the relationship
There's no heart inside of her
She is a cold, heartless individual
She is just a slot-machine
She is like an unfeeling, mechanical gambling device
The most cold-heart evil zombie bitch that I have ever seen
She is the epitome of a cruel and monstrous undead woman
My game is over
I have lost this game
I'm not her lover
I am no longer in a romantic relationship with her
She said sorry as she told me that I'm not even in her highscore
She insincerely apologized and revealed that I am not even a significant player in her life
Forever and ever no more together
We will never be together again
Such a vain endeavor in this game called love
Any attempt to achieve success in the game of love is pointless
No more lies
There will be no more deceitful behavior
No more doubt
No further uncertainty or questioning
Over and out
I am done, the game is finished
Now I'm scattered
I am discombobulated and disoriented
Now I'm broken
I have been shattered into pieces
I can't take it anymore
I cannot handle this any longer
I ain't nothin' but the shadow of the man that I was before
I feel like I am nothing compared to my former self
And so I beg for mercy
I plead for leniency and compassion
For an extraball to play
I hope for another chance to continue playing the game
One more life
Just one more opportunity to try again
Only one more life to face the trouble on my way
I only need a single additional chance to overcome my challenges
Now all the players gettin' ready
Other players are preparing for their turn
Even though there's no way to win
Despite the impossibility of achieving victory
They feed the slot-machines with tokens
They invest their resources into the gambling machines
They can't fill the void within
But they cannot satisfy their innermost needs and desires
