The House Always Wins
Echoes of Fate: Unveiling Life's Gambles in 'The House Always Wins'
Lyrics
Love remains in the darkest parts of us
Love endures even in the darkest aspects of ourselves.
Truth lies beaten against the rocks
Truth is battered and defeated, facing harsh realities.
You tell yourself that you're not letting go
Despite resistance, one convinces oneself not to let go.
I can tell that you're heart is closed
Observation that the person's heart is closed or guarded.
Someday maybe you'll understand
Hope that understanding will come in the future.
This aint exactly what we planned
Acknowledgment that the current situation is not as planned.
You can only play the cards in your hands
Acceptance that one can only work with the given circumstances.
Don't you know the house always wins
Highlighting the inevitability that the house (system) always prevails.
The truth we seek in our hour off defeat
Searching for truth amid moments of defeat.
Is a pale horse a phantom in our dreams
Symbolic imagery of a pale horse, possibly representing death or ominous presence.
A dog barking to the void of the night
Metaphor of a dog's howl in the emptiness of the night, seeking connection.
crying out for something like someone's on the line
Expressing a yearning for something or someone, akin to a distant call.
Someday maybe you'll understand
Reiteration of hope for future understanding.
This aint exactly what we planned
Acknowledgment that the current situation diverges from initial plans.
You can only play the cards in your hands
Acceptance of the limited choices available, represented by playing cards.
Don't you know the house always wins
Emphasizing the prevailing nature of the "house," suggesting life's unpredictability.
I close my eyes & I pretend
Escaping reality by closing one's eyes and pretending.
That maybe just maybe that this isn't happening
Holding onto the hope that the current situation is not real.
Someday maybe you'll understand
Reiteration of the hope for future comprehension.
This aint exactly what we planned
Acknowledging the deviation from the original plan.
You can only play the cards in your hands
Accepting the limitations of the current circumstances.
Don't you know the house always wins
Reiteration of the prevailing nature of the "house" or system.
