A climactic point of release for Skeen, ‘fate played me’ is an anthem of realization that love in this case, was not worth the sacrifices he was making for it. The song was inspired by ‘Queen’s Gambit’ on Netflix, and more specifically, chess, as it uses metaphors about sacrificing pieces (peace) on...
(Verse 1)
Running so low on the time, that was designated to me
Couldn't get close to your mind, and i hated to see
That maybe you were right, but just the wrong time
Maybe if i tried (i would have it all), but that's a short line cause
(Chorus)
Fate played me good it's like playing some chess with a chick
I hate how i stood up right by watching you fuck up my way
I might be - not saying i keep a smile on me if fate favors me
But if you please, could you please just for me take it back to when i could believe in lovе
Believe in lovе
(Verse 2)
Queen on the moon tryna lock me in
I'm losing my peace just to stop the air
(Pre-Chorus)
If i didn't pull through, doesn't mean i didn't want you that i want
Love, emotion, vulnerability
I guess it doesn't matter i've lost my chance cause
(Chorus)
Fate played me good it's like playing some chess with a chick
I hate how i stood up right by watching you fuck up my way
I might be - not saying i keep a smile on me if fate favors me
But if you please, could you please just for me take it back to when i could believe in love
(Bridge)
Won't feel this pain if you're gone
And who had i thought i was wrong?
I'll just get by on my own
So numb if you picked up my tongue
Won't feel this pain if you're gone my tongue
And who had i thought i was wrong?
I'll just get by on my own
So numb if you picked up my tongue
(Chorus)
Fate played me good it's like playing some chess with a chick and i
I hate how i stood up right by watching you fuck up my way
I might be - not saying i keep a smile on me if fate favors me
But if you please, could you please just for me take it back to when i could believe in love (love)
