ROSÉ‘s debut studio album, “rosie,” delves into the complexities of heartbreak and failed relationships. The song “Gameboy” narrates the emotional journey of realizing one’s worth and coming to terms with a toxic connection.

The lyrics express the singer’s realization of being taken for granted and the gradual understanding of the situation over two years. The repetitive chorus emphasizes the inevitability of certain individuals remaining unchanged despite the pain they cause.

The reference to a “gameboy” symbolizes the manipulative and playful nature of the person in question, highlighting the dynamic of being kept on a chase without significant emotional fulfillment.

Ultimately, the song conveys a message of self-reflection and acceptance that some relationships are not meant to last, no matter how intense the feelings may have been.
