She left him after less than a year. She is the poster "child" of "beauty is only skin deep"! BTW init4selves is my handle on political based article's comment sites - "nobody serves no one". General Comment I've always found this song very haunting.
There's something so searing about the opening moments-musically- and his voice is such a lovely combination of sensuality and vulnerability. Although there is definately a steamy quality to the song, I don't interpret it as describing an exclusively physical longing- I think it describes well the struggle to not make yourself vulnerable to a person or situation that logically you know, for whatever reason, will ultimately lead to hurt, no matter how alluring it seems at the time, while already having emotionally landed in a place where you can't really back out without accruing some sort of damage.
It is a horrible, exhilarating place to be Theres something interesting about the way the lyrics play with time frame- the chorus sounds very urgent, very "in the now"-in terms of his emotional state, although the rest of the lyrics seem to be reflecting back on something in the past, kind of adds to the overall theme of conflicting emotions, and the emotional tension they cause. The "nobody loves noone" or whatever to that effect he says at the end is just the saddest- in the end, even the most vivid, urgent love can end up feeling so hollow, so wrung dry of all it's mystery, compassion, and sexuality- and make you wonder if it's ultimately just about what feels gratifying at the moment, reguardless of long term damage.
So raw and sad. No Replies Log in to reply. General Comment The wicked game is the struggle to maintain your composure while falling totally in love. The game is how you're supposed to be the strong one and she just levels you with her eyes and floors you with her kiss. My wicked game is finally starting to fall in love with the one who used to love me. Timing is everything. I never dreamed that I knew someone like you bon bon.
General Comment I also think that he says "No, I wanna fall in love with you". The "don't" is never heard and thus there is a very different meaning. He might want to fall in love but he is incompatible to do so. He doesn't want to have sex or any casual relationship with no real feelings so he says "No" to the partner, "I want to fall in love with you" giving out his inner desire to develop feelings as he might be tired of this senseless sex desire.
Pithikos on May 03, Link. Pithikos He very clearly says the word "don't" every single time he says the line Pithikos I think the first and third chorus is "don't wanna. Tunacrab on January 23, General Comment This song is one of the saddest love songs ever written and has a uniquely personal aspect for me.
It is a about a forbidden relationship. He knew he should not get involved from the outset. He knew that loving her has gotten people nothing but heartache.
He knew he shouldn't fall for her, but he couldn't help himself. He loved her. Your phone number:. Song name. Your interpretation. Email me when new interpretations are posted for Wicked Game.
Your email address. Chris Isaak Song Meanings. Manifesting itself in addiction. No, she is not a stripper. She is a prostitute. When you take money for sex, you are a prostitute. And a prostitute is no different than a drug dealer. They both deal pain, just one deals sex, the other deals their body. I always thought it was about his sneak. I thought the whole song was about the girl he was cheating with.
TOdblD on February 01, This song is about tragedy and being down on your life in general. Using others the prostitute - that aint no stripper , drugs and all. The fame part is the power trip that every man - be he a politician or not - seams to believe he possesses over women and objects Giving money for sex is a power trip. And the fact that the character is a politician just is a way for the director to portray that power in the video.
This is a video portrayal of inner pain manifesting itself in drugs and sex. Remember Elliot Spitzer? Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinski? Many men have secret lives. Anywhere from mild - like riding a motor bike or taking ballet on weekends - to dressing up in a wig and mini skirt, painting their nails or using sex and prostitutes to 'ease' their daily frustrations or yes, pain. The lyrics are intense and in your face. Make no mistake about it, this song is about addiction - pure inner pain.
My Interpretation He's leaving his life for the weekend This is what matters. He's having a drug fueled weekend with this woman He wants to numb his guilt, his emotions, his shame by the drugs and by this woman It's a misery loves company concept It's his refuge.
But all the way back in , the artist impressed with his debut single, "Wicked Games. You may also recognize the song from another source other than the radio or streaming. In , Westworld featured the track in a different way.
