My Favourite Game Lyrics

I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my babay
losing my favourite game
I only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint

Your average relationship. He's a badboy, the first verse tells us the way he treats her. Second verse tells us how she thought that she'd be the one to change him, that she was the one who'd make a decent man of him. Third verse is her acceptance that it hasn't worked, that is was a stupid idea to think that she could stop him being an asshole, and now she's cold. By the end, she stills sees herself as some sort of angel, despite her choosing someone who was obviously bad and admitting that, in the end, it was all just a stupid experiement to make her feel more secure.

The intro is fantastic

I think the song is about herself. She can't save herself and she gives up. She finally just doesn't give a shit and flies free. However, since she says "him versus me", that might make it totally different. The video (visual affect) is quite moving and understandable

i think this song is all about how she likes the drama of the relationship shes in. This guy she is with is no good for her, abusing her physically and mentally. and it sounds like he might be a drug addict too. And she wants to be the one to change him.

It's a 'legal' fight, not lethal. Listen to what she says. She says 'legal'.

"I had a vision I could turn you right A stupid mission 'and a legal' fight I should have seen it when my hope was new My heart is black and my body is blue"

Correction within 'quotes'.

The song is about their love for the racing game Gran Turismo. It was writen while playing the game in their tour bus.

Skimmed through the comments & think you're the only one who got this. The name of the album was Gran Turismo so it's almost impossible to find a confirmation of this explanation online. But I remember hearing this when the album was originally released.

Domestic abuse, literally. From the perspective and that destructive head space of the habitually abused. “my heart is black and my body is blue””you’re losing your mind, again” “I try but you’re still the same”

There is death at the end; perhaps literal but certainly allegorical in the sense that she is giving up on her mission. “you’re losing a saviour and a saint”. Game over.

I love this song: it has kick ass music you can sing along to. The video was well mad, because it fits perfectly with the moral of the song- a woman trying to save her relationship, then kills herself because she can't.

im not totally sure that she kills herself, but i guess all songs are up to different interpretations.
