Written from the perspective of someone in an emotionally abusive relationship. I was, once, a long time ago and not for long, in this sort of relationship and it genuinely made me question my sanity. Thankfully I'm out of it now.
You say it's just a game
How can I complain?
The scars are all inside my head
You say I never understand
I watch your sleight of hand
but all I see is black and red
You say
You say
You say it's all in fun
That I'm the only one
How could I not believe in you?
You say that it's not real
I don't know how I feel
And everything you say is true
You know I'll never leave, I'll never leave
I know I'd never be believed, I'll never be believed
You say
You say
You say no-one will know
The lengths that you will go
To demonstrate your love for me

Ooh, Smooth synth sounds that work well with your lovely vocal.
Delicious Harmonies.
Nice sounding tune with a simple but strong lyrical statement.
Glad to hear you got out of that harmful relationship.

This has a really great sparse synth arrangement where everything has a strong presence in the mix. I love the character of your vocals! Cool harmonies as well. I can't wait to check out more of your work!
I agree with the others on the Depeche Mode comparison. I recently really got into Depeche Mode in 2022 so I'm really digging this sort of style lately :)

Great vibe here. Something in the background of society. Definitely poignant, but about something people acknowledge less.
Sounded great, and I think those lyrics are important. Nice work. :)

I agree this has a Depeche Mode feel to it, which is a great thing. Vocals are excellent. I love the synths and beat. Really good song.

This has a slight vibe of Depeche Mode in it, albeit with a much more modern sound. The minimalist backing with those strong words and clear vocals is really powerful.
