House of Cards
Unveiling Human Fragility: The Collapse of Your House of Cards
Lyrics
is it really that important
Questioning the importance of something
did you think you’d need it all
Questioning if one thought they needed everything
when you strip down everything around you
Reflecting on stripping away external factors
you’re human after all
Acknowledging human vulnerability
with human flaws you thought defined you
Recognizing personal imperfections
and strengths you never knew you’d have
Acknowledging hidden strengths
when you have you to look inside you’ll see it all
Encouraging self-reflection
your house of cards
Metaphorically representing one's constructed life
you thought you built on solid ground
Realization of instability in one's achievements
comes tumbling down
Symbolizing the collapse of aspirations
with all the dreams you ever had
Loss of cherished dreams
your house of cards
Continuation of the metaphorical "house of cards"
you thought you’d never leave behind
Unexpected abandonment of past convictions
turned out to be the least important in your life
Reevaluation of life priorities
no matter how high you build your tower
Emphasizing the vulnerability of achievements
no matter how strong you think it is
Warning about overestimating strength
it takes just one card to leave the table
Highlighting the fragility of success
then your house comes caving in
Consequence of losing a crucial element
when you find out you’re not superman
Coming to terms with human limitations
and the ground begins to fall
Sense of instability and uncertainty
you’ll find out who you really are
Discovering one's true identity during challenges
and what you needed after all
Recognizing essential needs in adversity
would I do it the same if I could do it all again
Reflecting on past choices and hypothetical changes
knowing it’s a fight I cannot win
Acknowledging a futile struggle
but I’ve never been alone, with you by my side
Expressing companionship and support
you gave me strength and made life worth the fight
Gratitude for strength gained through a relationship
so if you have a rough day and everything turns to grey
Offering support during difficult times
come and find me, you’ll know where I’ll be
Indicating a reliable place of solace
your house of cards
Repetition of the metaphorical collapse
your house of cards
Reiteration of the vulnerability of constructed ideals
your house of cards
Repeating the theme of the crumbling "house of cards"
comes tumbling down
Finalizing the metaphorical downfall
