PLAY, PLAY, WANNA PLAY? If you ask what the game is, I don’t know what to say, do I – wanna say? Ím Gambling like a queen queen – poker with the devil Fighting for the rulebook (-) bending down till my eyes are on his level All in and revel – in the glory (i) award him the medal, I stab him with the pin, ramm it in his skin,  What is there to win, I  keep pushing but it won’t cram in (–bow down and (- -) kiss the ring (- -) – on your knees bitch, now – who’s the king? I oh I can’t believe, oh I can´t believe, that I did it again i can be the queen queen, and I can be the devil Hid behind the mirror(-)Moving in till our eyes are on a level All in and treble – shattering illusions – I´m grinning like a -rebel. Smoke is in the air, ashes in my hair, nothing left to tame, -I toss the rulebook in the flames -the ego has landed,  and I  take the blame – carrying the BALL while still strangeling the CHAIN The house will always win, we know the house will always win..

about

Based on the lyrics of the song, what we want to represent within the music video is a Trashy Queen that is tired of feeding the industry and at the same time can not escape being part of it, the game of showing yourself as others want to see you, the pressure to satisfy everyone. In the encounter with this dichotomy, this queen wants to be faithful to her own identity, rejecting the vanity of the environment that surrounds her, and in this process she finds herself with her own mirror, an antagonist in the history that seduces and attacks her, At the same time, she loves him and hates him. It is about the monster that she flees from but in the end, the house will always win.   (ADRIANA BERROTERAN, video director).


why are we still gambling although we know, that in the end, the house will always win?
