I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust you see
It's not a matter of you versus of me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my babay
Losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
I've tried but you're still the same

I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint

    My Interpretation:This song sounds like it is about her more than about him.
    I think the guy is looking for love in all the wrong places though. It seems to me that she is trying to manipulate him in the relationship to fit what she wants, it's a game to her, but is meaningful as love. I think they are both losing their minds because of that. She thinks she is perfect, and is trying to manipulate him for her benefit, so she can love the changed him that's playing her manipulation game of love. It's pushing him away, because she cares about herself only, or that he doesn't want to spend time with her because she's trying to manipulate him. She lost her game, so according to the video, killed herself.

    General Comment:i think this song is all about how she likes the drama of the relationship shes in. This guy she is with is no good for her, abusing her physically and mentally. and it sounds like he might be a drug addict too. And she wants to be the one to change him.

    Song Meaning:I think the song is about herself. She can't save herself and she gives up. She finally just doesn't give a shit and flies free. However, since she says "him versus me", that might make it totally different. The video (visual affect) is quite moving and understandable

    General Comment:By saying that she's working for another you just means what the extreme position the rest of the song is showing... that she'd want two of him if it were possible so she could love him that much more. It's just showing how extreme she's become. She's working and on this "mission" (changing him), but when it comes down to it he isn't as there for her as she is for him and she gets left on her own and taken for granted.

    It's not about another person/cheating or lust because she says so and it's not about him versus her because she says that, too. It's about her trying to change him (into at least the person she is being for him) and that never works unless the person wants to change.

    At the end he's still the same person he was before and she's made herself into a saviour and saint at this point and martyred herself (which they make it a comically literal martyrdom in the video).

    General Comment:I personally think that *I only know what I've been working for /
    another you so I could love you more* means that she wanted to have his child, she was *working* for *another you*. Dunno. Anyway, this song rocks!

    General Comment:I always thought "another you so I could love you more" meant she was essentially cheating on him with another guy that she thought was a lot like him. And this was somewhat of a lame excuse she gave him for doing it.

    General Comment:the lines "I only know what I've been working for /
    another you so I could love you more" tell it all. She's been working to make him someone that he's not so that she could love him more, because the person he is now does not allow her to love him as much as she would like to.
