House Of Cards

Analysis

The analysis will be broken down into 4 parts. Verse 1, Verse 2, Bridge then lastly Chorus. 

NOTE: Italic = Lyrics

OVERALL MESSAGE The lover's relationship isn't working out but they don't want it to end and is just holding on as long as they can. Love is dangerous and something hard to get out of. It hurts as much as it feels wonderful.

VERSE 1

Insecure again, dangerous again

So bad (why?) us, yeah...

Enduring more, holding out

So hard (hard), we can't

Even if you already knew

We couldn't stop

No way, no way, no way, falling

As time passes by

We only mess it up even more

No way no way it's collapsing again

They are not sure if the love is going to continue to work. Why is it that their love will not work? It hurts to keep it in and hard to hold onto it. Even though they knew it would turn out bad, they couldn't stop and went with the flow. Now everything is breaking apart. When more time passes, the relationship worsens and they don't want to believe that it is collapsing.

VERSE 2

Like there's no tomorrow

Like there's no next time

Everything that you've done in front of my eyes

It's a complete darkness

Say it like you mean it

In the end, we can't make it

Even so, I keep hoping

Even at the end, if you're with me, I'm okay

They want their time together to be forever. All memories that have happened together is just a blur and can no longer be seen. Everything is black. They should say whatever they want now with all their emotions because no matter what, the feelings won't ever truly mean anything. Even though the outcome is obvious, they still hope that as long as they have one another, they will be okay. Even if society doesn't accept.  

BRIDGE

Slow down the time

Please stay for a little more oh

Please baby calm down

Just a little more

Insecure again, dangerous again

So bad (so bad) us

Enduring more, holding out

So hard

It's collapsing again

Their time together is moving too fast. They are hoping to spend as much time as they can together. Time is rushing them. Stressing them. They need to calm down and focus on the time they still have together. Their love is bad, dangerous and insecure it hurts to endure, hard to hold on. It's falling apart again. How long will they last?

CHORUS

A house made of cards, and us inside

Even if you say you see the end, even if you say it'll collapse soon

A house made of card, and stupidly, us

Even if you say it's a useless dream, just stay a little more like this

A love between them can be predicted as bad and it would fall apart soon. A love that is made of 2 idiots, falling for each other. Even though their love is useless and will never work, they want to stay with each other, just for a while. Comparing their love to a house of cards. It's hard to build, it takes time and patience but no matter what, the cards will fall. Collapse. There is no helping it. Love is delicate like that. No matter how hard you try to succeed in it, it will end up broken if you are not careful.
