Vicious Game

Viza's song 'Vicious Game' delves into the internal struggle of an individual seeking freedom from a tormenting past. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a mind haunted by memories, as seen in lines like 'Deep in my mind, It's on the way back, Masquerading as lifeless, Remembering the last time.' This suggests a recurring cycle of pain and the difficulty of escaping it. The use of 'masquerading as lifeless' implies that these memories are not just dormant but actively disguising themselves, making it harder for the individual to move on.

The chorus, with its plea to 'Run far away, Don't you chase, So far away, Feel my pain, Take it away,' highlights the desperation to break free from these shadows. The repetition of 'Over and over again' emphasizes the relentless nature of this struggle, suggesting that the battle for freedom is a continuous one. The line 'Never let go of my hand' introduces a glimmer of hope, indicating that support from a friend or loved one is crucial in this journey.

The song's emotional depth is further amplified by the line 'I don’t know you now,' which could signify a loss of self-identity due to the overwhelming nature of the past. The final plea, 'Stay with me till the end,' underscores the need for companionship and support in overcoming these internal battles. Viza's musical style, often characterized by its fusion of rock and traditional Armenian music, adds a unique layer of intensity and cultural richness to the song, making 'Vicious Game' a powerful exploration of the human psyche and the quest for liberation from inner demons.
