Lyrics:
I don’t wanna be your personal Jesus
I don’t wanna live inside of that flame In a way
I wanna be my own believer
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t wanna be the center of the universe
I don’t wanna be a part of that shameIn a way
I wanna be my own redeemer
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t care if everybody else is into it
I don’t care if it’s a popular refrain
I don’t wanna be a puppet in a theater
I don’t wanna play your video game
You don’t wanna be the one who has to pay for it
You don’t wanna be the one who has to change
All you want is what the resumé tells you
I don’t wanna play your video game
Chorus...
I don’t wanna play, I don’t wanna play (I just wanna go away)
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t wanna love you if won’t receive it
I don’t wanna save the world that way
I don’t wanna be your personal Jesus
I don’t wanna play your video game
I don’t wanna put the devil on a pedestal
I don’t wanna put the saints in chains
I just wanna make my life a little easier
I don’t wanna play your video game
Chorus...
I don’t wanna be your Julius Caesar
I don’t want it to go down that way
But in a way you gotta follow the procedure
So go ahead and play your video game
Chorus...

Statement from Sufjan about the song and video: It’s unfortunate that we live in a society where the value of people is quantified by likes, followers, listeners and views. So many people are seeking attention for the wrong reasons. I think we should all be doing our best work without looking for accolades or seeking reward. The main takeaway of ‘Video Game’ for me is: your worth (invaluable) should never be based on other people’s approval (ephemeral). Just be yourself. Keep it real. Keep it moving. Do all things with absolute purity, love and joy. And always do your best. Jalaiah epitomizes all of this and I’m truly inspired by her. So I thought, ‘what if we could get Jalaiah to star in a “dance video” about not wanting to star in a “dance video?”’ I’m so honored she agreed. She clearly owns it, and her work here is beautiful, poignant and true. Her dance shows incredible energy, work-ethic and spirit. She is dancing for herself, not anyone else. Her choreography is sophisticated, nuanced, and fun. She is a star. She keeps it real. She keeps it moving. She keeps it true. What a blessing!

@@plexus my read on this piece is that it's an almost sort of backlash towards media speculation towards his own life. At the same time, there's a certain amount of conflict between the lgbtq friendly aspect of his style and the faithful aspect of it. The net result is this piece, where essentially he makes a stand for both his beliefs and his privacy and right to hold them. He refuses to discount the faith due to his interpretation allowing it to coexist with his other beliefs. That's just my opinion and it only reflects 2 verses of the piece so I see where you're coming from

Patrick Gann ... my whole point is people like to call him put him into some sort of “Christian indie rock” category just because he likes to use religious allegory as themes in his lyrics... that doesn’t mean he’s “Christian rock” at all... I mean... he likes to write songs about death a lot... does that make him a “death rock” artist? He likes to write about depression... does that make him “depression rock”?... he likes to write fucking songs about geography... does that make him “geography rock” for Christ’s sake?... he’s an indie/synth/neo-folk/chamber/ambient/avant-guard/prog-Rock artist... that’s all he is... not a christian rock artist. Wanna hear what Christian rock sounds like.? It sounds like this “I wanna praise you God/I wanna lift my light to you/ I’m gonna spread the word of Jesus/ I’m gonna sit around in a pew”... that’s fucking Christian rock... All Delighted People, Age of Adz, I Want to be Well, John Wayne Gacey jr., Vesuvius, Owl and The Tanager, Sister, Adelai Stevenson, Fourth of July, The Upper Peninsula, Jacksonville, Chicago, The Avalanche, Arinka, Impossible Soul, Exploding Whale, John My Beloved, Mystery of Love, Tanya Harding, America, Rajneesh, Video Games... ... ... I’m sorry... but that’s not “Christian Rock”

oh gosh, looking forward to this. first heard sufjan from a burnt cd in 2005 that my youth pastor gave me of illinoise. he's been my favorite ever since, mostly. fell out of love with him for a bit around the bqe but my gf at the time got us tickets for the age of adz tour in LA & it was so emotional & became a fan again. got to see him play a live soundtrack to "beyond this place," as i sat about 15 feet from him, though he seemed kinda down, then got to see him in seattle on his carrie & lowell tour. what an amazing person. happy to have had him in my life for a decade & a half. super looking forward to this new album. happy to share a virtual space with all you other sufjan fans 🤍

The rest of the song sucks/blows unfortunately for our sufjan friend is not in our kingdom and everyone is seeing them for what they are now.

I found Sufjans music in 2023 when i was introduced to Illinois and have started moving through the albums slowly to fully appreciate them. The material has been difficult at first and becomes more and more beautiful, well worth the effort. The ascension was my second one and i guess its my fav. My youtube music stats say i listened to it 89 times between aug and december when my year and review came out. 😂 Its never been my style of music but its so well done and the lyrics are so compelling i just inhale it when i really need some church.

This world is sick. People never leave a chance to let someone down. They commented just to make fun of you. Even a dimwit brainlet can understand that you just said it literally. Sad thing is these people listen to sufjan Stevens.

Hello Amelia, my name is Maria. I find your statement & the replies made in response in synchronicity w/ this song. These lyrics can be an interpreted that you can love yourself, others, & God in the way that fits you BEST. There is not a thing in life that is "one size fits all", & that is beautiful. I'm glad this song gave you something new to look forward to. I truly hope it brought you joy! Be well, Maria
