Game Over Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Open, blurry, nurture, loving
Crawling, walking, fleeting, glory
Welcome, brother, stranger, bloody
Ally, teacher, recess, buddy
Secret, toothless, fairy, pillow
Money, kissing, nervous, hero
Warmly ordinary
(This daytime TV satisfies)
Extra ordinary
(These hand-me-downs worn in so nice)
[Pre-Chorus]
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
[Chorus]
Days are fine and come on time
But years leave with nothing to find
[Verse 2]
(Wake up!)
Changes, hormones, high school, threesome
Roll call, study, license, freedom
Novice, flirting, first time, lover
Party, fighting, wasted, summer
Questions, doubtful, wedding, family
Happy, ever, after, dead end
Daily iteration
(The bestest part of waking up)
Mundane ideation
(This dark roast got me so fucked up!)
Open, blurry, nurture, loving
Crawling, walking, fleeting, glory
Welcome, brother, stranger, bloody
Ally, teacher, recess, buddy
Secret, toothless, fairy, pillow
Money, kissing, nervous, hero
Warmly ordinary
(This daytime TV satisfies)
Extra ordinary
(These hand-me-downs worn in so nice)
[Pre-Chorus]
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
[Chorus]
Days are fine and come on time
But years leave with nothing to find
[Verse 2]
(Wake up!)
Changes, hormones, high school, threesome
Roll call, study, license, freedom
Novice, flirting, first time, lover
Party, fighting, wasted, summer
Questions, doubtful, wedding, family
Happy, ever, after, dead end
Daily iteration
(The bestest part of waking up)
Mundane ideation
(This dark roast got me so fucked up!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Pre-Chorus]
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
[Chorus]
Days, they come, and days, they go
Until no more days set you free
Well on my way
My way to lose me
[Bridge]
It strikes me that I don't belong here anymore
As I observe my own reflection
Try a happy face
Staring through the warm tears
A sad frown from the cold years
Adieu
I never had the will anyway
[Outro]
Toss a rope over the branch and fall into the night
And here I swing from my family tree
Say goodnight
Can't you see life is but a dream anyway?
[Pre-Chorus]
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may
[Chorus]
Days, they come, and days, they go
Until no more days set you free
Well on my way
My way to lose me
[Bridge]
It strikes me that I don't belong here anymore
As I observe my own reflection
Try a happy face
Staring through the warm tears
A sad frown from the cold years
Adieu
I never had the will anyway
[Outro]
Toss a rope over the branch and fall into the night
And here I swing from my family tree
Say goodnight
Can't you see life is but a dream anyway?
About
This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation
“Game Over” is the first track on Avenged Sevenfold’s 8th studio album, Life Is But A Dream…
This song follows the story of a man who commits suicide. He realizes that life has passed him by and he had always been living the “typical life” without actually living in the moment. It’s also a commentary on free will and how we’re all kind of on the same boat of doing the same stuff everyday until we die without stopping at the right time to cherish the moment.
M. Shadows talks about it in this interview with Nik Nocturnal:
