In "Wanna Play?", Story Untold faces a clock that keeps ticking toward 2026 while being oneself feels like a crime worth dying for. The pressure to keep up with trends collides with the relief of admitting that breakdowns come for everyone, so sympathy is unnecessary. Loneliness becomes a shared condition, hollow faces passing by as pain spreads nationwide. The song treats collapse not as tragedy but as a game everyone already knows how to play, and feeling sad beats feeling nothing at all.
Wanna Play? Lyrics by Story Untold
Oh no
Clock is ticking, I’m out of time
Why is being me such a crime?
I’ll be myself when I’m dead
I know
No one cares if I kick the chair
Life goes on without a tear
This is 2026
Don’t be so loud
But scream it out
It’s better to feel sad than empty
Don’t look around
You might find out
We’re all the same
We’re all so lonely
It comes for everyone
No one gets immunity
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
Don’t save your sympathy
That’s how we play
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
This ain’t no tragedy
That’s how we play
Oh no
I missed the trend a second time
Doesn’t matter, leave me behind
I’ll survive, on to the next
So slow
But yet so fast, I can’t keep track
“Out of touch” is written on my back
I’ll take a seat and enjoy the show
Don’t be so loud
But scream it out
It’s better to feel sad than empty
Don’t look around
You might find out
We’re all the same
We’re all so lonely
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
Don’t save your sympathy
That’s how we play
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
This ain’t no tragedy
That’s how we play
Steady decline on the rise
Hollow faces pass me by
The pain I feel goes nationwide
Breakdowns all come for free
Steady decline on the rise
Hollow faces pass me by
The pain I feel goes nationwide
Breakdowns all come for… free!
Hey!
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
Don’t save your sympathy
That’s how we play
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
This ain’t no tragedy
That’s how we play
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
Don’t save your sympathy
That’s how we play
Breakdowns all come for free
Not just for you and me
This ain’t no tragedy
That’s how we play
