My Favorite Game is a random dream of Rèfles, a fictional character.
He’s made of repressed emotions, that wander in a single direction in the form of black plasma to be gathered in a liquid mass: his body. He has acquired his own consciousness over time and lives in a parallel dimension together with other Archetypes. He can communicate with humans only through dreams and art.
In this episode, Rèfles is in Planet Vena, a parallel dimension where there's no air, no money and no death. He's thinking about a crush he had in Vemetown.
lyrics
There was a time that we used to share this ache
But now I’m dead and so your confidence
Just like the people who act smart, kind and brave
‘til they receive a shitty monthly check
“No needs for money to believe in,
Neither for giving up”
“If you don’t have the tool for play then
Ask it, steal it, or make your own”
“Stop searching for the words to fit in
The intention is enough”
Some of the lessons that you gave me
Before leaving
And now I want to bring you back
There should be a way to bring you back
Crawling, screaming, never bleeding
The day that you left me here
I gained so much energy
Jumping, choking, always holding
The day that you left me here
I lost at my favorite game
[can you hear me?]
I’ve lost at my favorite game
[can you feel it?]
The beauty in this ugly place
[can’t you see them?]
The scars covering my face
[can’t you bring it?]
The day that you left me here
Your words slipping out of your mouth,
you never realised,
you just focused on the shout.
I never knew what I had to say,
what you're thinking,
have same scars on my face.
Even though you killed me,
and I'm backing up,
still ignored this,
And I'm running down,
there's no home,
there's no town.
That was my,
favourite game too...
The room turned blue,
but I still love you.
There was a time that we used to reckon things
But now I’m dead
And I think no one cares
I want to bring you back
There should be a way to bring you back
Crawling, screaming, never bleeding
The day that you left me here
I gained so much energy
Jumping, choking, always holding
The day that you left me here
I lost at my favorite game
[can you hear me?]
I’ve lost at my favorite game
[can you feel it?]
The beauty in this ugly place
[can’t you see them?]
The scars covering my face
[can’t you bring it?]
The day that you left me here
