House Of Cards
Edge of Earth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never really thought that I'd ever run
Re-arrange the puzzle up inside my mind
And I throw myself into the fire
Love me and hate me all said and done
In a different world you may have been my one
The fire never burns inside a dream
Never meant to be a liar
You put all your cards on the table
I'm sorry I couldn't stay
I wish that it could be different
But it wont' work out your way
I just don't know what to say
Time heals wounds those feelings will fade
Friendship meant more than the games we played
Release the handkerchief you hold for me
And through yourself into the fire
Seams of a dream sometimes come undone
In a different world you would have been no one
Caged all the truth up inside your mind
Went and made yourself a liar
And it burns...
I need some water...
Helps me to feel alive...
You put all your cards on the table
I'm sorry I couldn't stay
I wish that it could be different
But it won't work out your way
I just don't know what to say
The lyrics from Edge of Earth's song House of Cards tell a story of regret and potential missed opportunities. The song's protagonist recalls a time when he and someone else began a relationship, but it quickly ended before it could even start. He never thought that he would run away from someone he could have loved. In an attempt to make sense of the situation, he tries to rearrange the puzzle in his mind. He wishes that the circumstances were different, that he could have lived in another world where she would have been his one. But alas, the fire never burns inside of a dream, and he never intended to be a liar.
The chorus features the singer acknowledging the other person's honesty in laying all her cards on the table. However, he apologizes for not being able to stay with her despite her honesty. It won't work out the way she hoped it would, and he doesn't know what to say. He believes that time heals wounds, and their feelings would eventually fade. A friendship meant more than the games they played, but the truth got caged up in her mind, making herself a liar. At the end of the song, the singer contemplates why it hurts so much and begs for help to make him feel alive.
