Game Over Lyrics
All your sweet little lies
All your sweet little lies
I can hear when I hold you close to me
When I look in your eyes
I see through your disguise
What I see is a lonely, lonely void
And I can see hell in your eyes
Cause you're drowning inside
Those fake tears that you cried
As I claw my way from your tragedy
Emptiness is your bride
Arrogance is your pride
I won't drown in another's misery
And you won't pull me down to die
No
Stuck in this prison with a brother I loved
Stuck in this prison with the memories of...
Another time, when music's all that we had
Bonded by anger and addictions, so glad
Always together but no words are spoken
This is the sound of a friendship broken
Trapped and climbing up the walls
How the fuck do I get out of these pitfalls?
And you say that life is just a game and
Everyone who plays is just a pawn
And shame on me it went so long
How could I've been so wrong?
I've forever gone, colder
If life is just a game then,
Game over
Dreaming of choking someone I used to know
Strangling the negativity that they sow
Resent has now become the face in the mask
That plays upon a bitter two-man cast
Go find somebody else to blame your problems
Trying to fuck me, because you can't solve them
Stop, you never gave a shit
We almost fucking quit, because how much you hated it
And you say that life is just a game and
Everyone who plays is just a pawn
And shame on me it went so long
How could I've been so wrong?
I've forever gone, colder
If life is just a game then,
Game over
For as long as you're alive
I'll curse your worthless name
For as long as you're alive
I'll curse your worthless name
On the day,
On the day of your demise
Unburied and left for the flies
Believe me that I will piss upon your grave
Forgiveness will greet me on someday
But I'll never forget all this pain
Let there be no mistake
This is not a game
All your sweet little lies
All your sweet little lies
I can hear when I hold you close to me
When I look in your eyes
I see through your disguise
What I see is a lonely, lonely void
Cause you're drowning inside
Those fake tears that you cried
As I claw my way from your tragedy
Emptiness is your bride
Arrogance is your pride
I won't drown in another's misery
Forever this friendship has died
No
And you say that life is just a game and
Everyone who plays is just a pawn
And shame on me it went so long
How could I've been so wrong?
I've forever gone, colder
If life is just a game then
Game over
Game over
Game over
All your sweet little lies
I can hear when I hold you close to me
When I look in your eyes
I see through your disguise
What I see is a lonely, lonely void
And I can see hell in your eyes
Those fake tears that you cried
As I claw my way from your tragedy
Emptiness is your bride
Arrogance is your pride
I won't drown in another's misery
And you won't pull me down to die
No
Stuck in this prison with the memories of...
Another time, when music's all that we had

Always together but no words are spoken

The song literally screams Adam Duce, at least in my ears.
"Stop, you never gave a shit We almost fucking quit, because how much you hated it"

Totally and all about Adam Duce. Upon hearing and reading this song after knowing of his departure from the band made it super clear. Such a good song. The whole album is amazing.
According to Robb Flynn, this song is about how hard it can be for us to end the relationships that are a strain on our lives. More importantly, this song was inspired by the high tension in the band that had been building up for a while before the album came out, and how they were on the verge of breaking up, all because of their bassist, Adam Duce, who had been getting into arguments with drummer Dave McClain. Reportedly, Dave said that he wasn’t playing with their bassist ever again, or else he would quit the band. When he, Robb, and Phil jokingly quit the band for a day, they decided it was better to fire Adam Duce. Essentially, for this relationship, it was game over.
I love this song so much, heard it on the radio recently and instantly fell in love. The chorus and bridge get to me every time, it reminds me of a relationship I've been through with a specific person that sounds an awful lot like what these lyrics describe... helps me get through it. Great song.
As others have stated, it's about Adam Duce, this interview makes it pretty obvious https://web.archive.org/web/20130814095709/http://machinehead1.com/board_posts/2-11-13
" To a guy like Adam everything is either winning or losing."
Basically the same thing as
"And you say that life is just a game"
