"The Game" is the fourth single by American rock band Disturbed, featured on the band's debut album The Sickness, which was released in 2000. The song was used in the Dragon Ball Z feature movie Cooler's Revenge.
The track became the band's least successful single, landing at #34 on the Mainstream Rock Charts. It also failed to reach the Modern Rock Charts, as well as the Billboard 100. Despite this, the song has become a favorite among fans, also being played at virtually every Disturbed live show since its release.
[edit] Song Meaning
The lyrics speak of a fictional "game" between two people, one obviously being a woman. Throughout the song, the narrator of the story has a conversation to the girl about her telling "a lie" and that she is killed by him ("another victim dies tonight") At the end of the song, it is apparent that the man murders the girl after she tries to escape.
It could also reference a man killing his wife for cheating on him.
