Well this song is pretty straight forward I thought, but still has great meaning.
They use the metaphor of games to describe how everything that we do or go about things. Though truly it isn't a metaphor because the definition of a game is "anything resembling a game, as in requiring skill, endurance, or adherence to rules."
More specifically they are using this definition: "to act in an evasive, deceitful, manipulative, or trifling manner in dealing with others."
His first verse goes on to show the needlessness of games if people were open and open-minded with other. But the rest explains how it seems impossible when everyone is creating more defenses for others manipulation and greedy tactics while doing the same so that it creates an endless loop.
