Cover art for Rules And Games lyrics by Funeral for a Friend

I'm absoluting loving Memory & Humanity! The album gives off FFAF's older works, like those in their Hours album. The drumming, guitar melodies/chords and the vocals just harmonize so perfectly. Even though there's visibly a lack thereof screaming elements compared to their previous works, It feels as though I'm listening to a symphony. Great album to listen to if you're angered or in desperate need of a mind massage. As for this song's meaning, it's all very cryptic to me. But to me, the title gives one interpretation away. "Rules and Games" makes me think of childhood, where as kids we'd play games like tag or hide and seek and we'd have rules to them. I think the song is symbolic of innocence and happiness, and how we desperately cling onto these moments, to savour the these traits/feelings. Because we know how very temporary they are now matter how consumed we are in the depth of our joy, it'll soon be overruled by the pains of reality.

The interpretation of "Rules and Games" as a symbol of childhood innocence and the fleeting nature of joy adds a poignant layer to the analysis, making the song deeply reflective of the transition from carefree happiness to the harsh realities of life. The reference to harmonized drums, guitar melodies, and vocals highlights the album's powerful emotional impact, even without the need for loud screaming.
