House of Cards
Awakening in Fragile Realities
Lyrics
People like us have our eyes on the stars
People like us aspire to achieve great things, represented by having our eyes on the stars.
And we keep informed via TV Guide
We stay informed through popular media like TV Guide.
And we entertain in a house of cards
We engage in activities that are fragile and easily disrupted, symbolized as a "house of cards."
But the trouble remains
Despite our pursuits, challenges persist.
In our sleeping hearts
Inner conflicts and unresolved issues trouble us during our sleep.
Wake up! Get out,
An urgent call to wake up and break free from the fragile and unstable situation.
Get out of this house of cards
Encouragement to leave the vulnerable situation symbolized as a "house of cards."
Why are we sleeping?
Raising the question of why individuals are passive or indifferent while facing challenges.
Wake up! Get out,
Repetition of the call to wake up and escape from the precarious situation.
Get out of this house of cards
Reiteration of the need to abandon the fragile circumstances and take action.
Why are we dreaming?
Pondering why individuals engage in passive dreaming instead of facing reality.
Why are we blinded,
Questioning the reason for being oblivious to the struggles of those with less power.
Always the little guys?
Expressing concern about consistently neglecting the less influential individuals.
Why do we find ourselves
Reflecting on the tendency to compromise principles or values frequently.
Always compromised?
Acknowledging a pattern of finding oneself in compromised situations.
People like us have lives made of dust
People with modest lives represented as lives made of dust.
And we know too little,
Admitting limited knowledge, yet possessing awareness beyond what is beneficial.
But we know too much
Despite awareness, life appears confusing and disordered.
And our puzzled lives have come all apart
Facing challenges causing confusion and disarray in our lives.
So we go back to bed
Returning to a state of passivity, going back to bed amid unresolved issues.
With our sleeping hearts
Continuing to sleep with unresolved conflicts in our hearts.
And we stay asleep
Persisting in a state of unawareness and passivity.
In a house of cards
Summarizing the overall situation as dwelling in a fragile and unstable existence.
