House of Cards
Navigating the Cosmic Chaos: Bad Wolves' House of Cards Revealed
Lyrics
Shooting at the stars
Expressing an attempt to achieve something great or significant.
But I don't wanna know and I don't want those scars
Desire to avoid emotional pain and scars.
Leave it up to God
Relinquishing control to a higher power, in this case, God.
Remember that he might not care at all
Suggesting a lack of certainty or belief in God's caring nature.
Galaxies aren't far
Referencing vast distances metaphorically, possibly hinting at emotional or relational distances.
But in reality, we will be torn apart
Contrasting the previous line, indicating that despite closeness in reality, separation is inevitable.
Leave it up to God
Repeating the surrender of control to God.
Remember that he might not care at all
Reiterating doubt regarding God's concern or involvement.
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
Strong emphasis on not wanting to delay or face certain things.
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
-I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
-I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
-Black lungs
Metaphors ('Black lungs,' 'Dark matter') possibly symbolize negativity or impending doom, juxtaposed with trying to hold on to a situation that's fragile.
Dark matter comes
-Hold on
-Better than an outcome
-You can never outrun
-We land on
-This house of cards
-It's your fault
-Better than an outcome
-You can never outrun
-It's like crashing cars
Comparing a relationship or situation to crashing cars, questioning if it's necessary to start something that might eventually fall apart.
But if the violent shows they always get applause
-Does your heart need start?
-Sewn forever might get pulled apart
-Is there a point at all
Raising existential questions about the purpose and transient nature of life and possessions.
You get back what you gave and then it's gone
-Sell it all for parts
-'Cause forever might get pulled apart
-I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
Reiterated urgency and reluctance to wait or engage in a certain course of action.
I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
-I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
-I don't wanna wait, I don't wanna go
-Black lungs
