WHITESNAKE

- Gambler Lyrics

I've been a gypsy
For a thousand years.
A victim of circumstance.
I go wherever my destiny calls.
I'm caught in a game of chance.

I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
Just trying to get inside.

No fame or fortune,
No luck of the draw.
When I dance with Queen of Hearts.
A jack of all trades.
But, a loser in love.
It's tearing my soul apart.

Still I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in.
I stand on the outside
Looking at love.
Just trying to get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in.

(Solo)

The jack of diamonds
An' the ace of spades
Try to use me, and to abuse me.
It seems the dealer
Wont give me a chance.
I'm victim of circumstance.

So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
I wanna get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in.
So I stand on the outside
Looking at love
Just trying to get inside.
I stand on the outside
Looking in...

What is the meaning behind Gambler lyrics?


When we take a closer look at its interpretation, the 'Gambler' song by Whitesnake casts the singer in the light of a person who constantly feels like an outsider in win or lose games of love, trying to break into a world that seems to be against them all the time. The use of cards and gambling as symbols represent the uncertain nature of life and love, along with the singer's feeling of being trapped and used because of situations that are out of his control. Gambler lyrics highlight love, heartache, angst, despair and the process of thinking about oneself mostly. The song, however, points out the craving for love, being a victim of circumstance and the battle with fate at the same time. Love and personal struggle are the main themes of the lyrics which might not be appropriate for such small kids. Despite the absence of any direct mention to violence, sex or drugs, the intensity of feelings and the phrase 'victim of circumstance' are indications of a certain degree of complexity that might need to be screened through a parent already.
