Emerald edge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Feel the claw
It touches you to take control of you!
Come and enter the halls of destiny
Join this moment
See al the beautyful games
I prepaired to play
Is it yours or is it mine
What does the mirror tell you?
Enter the space of incredibilities
Here we are now, let's see if you may leave!
Play the game, be the same
But never ask me
Follow your heart, just be yourself, step apart
There's no why, there's no how
Just feel it
Take your chance to find your way out of here
Don't you hesitate
Follow you instinct
Your anciousness will make you fail
I'm the constructor
Be welcome to my trap
Walls of illusion
Get stuck in what I pluh
Why are you wimping out?
Does this overtax you?
This is a game, boy!
It's no democracy!
Play the game, be the same
But never ask me
Follow your heart, just be yourself, step apart
There's no why, there's no how
Just feel it
Take your chance to find your way out of here
Don't you hesitate
Follow you instinct
Your anciousness will make you fail
Stay brave man, on the path you're on
Don't ask me, only ask the game
Let me lead you through your darkest hour
Come on in and trust me, wherever you are from
I am the master and you are my slave
This is it, a game man, my code my masterplan
Why quiverin'? Such an attractive task!
Let's start now! Well, the dice is cast!
Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
I play your game, be the same
Don't you underestimate
I follow my heart, just be myself to gain
Little strokes fell big oaks
Just feel it
Took my chance to be the path out of here
One good turn deserves another
You proudness has made you fail
The lyrics of "House of Cards" by Emerald Edge depict a metaphorical journey into a mysterious and manipulative world. The opening lines suggest a sense of being haunted and controlled by an unknown force, represented by the claw that touches and takes control of the singer. The song invites the listener to enter the halls of destiny, where they will witness all the beautiful games that have been prepared to play. The question of identity is raised, as the shape present in the mirror is questioned whether it belongs to the singer or someone else.
As the listener enters the space of incredibilities, they are urged to test their ability to escape. The game being played is not straightforward, as the lyrics discourage asking questions and instead encourage following one's heart and being true to oneself, even if it means stepping apart from the expected norms. There is an element of pressure and anxiety, as hesitation and anxiousness are warned to be potential causes of failure.
The lyrics introduce a character referred to as the constructor, who welcomes the singer into their trap of walls of illusion. The singer is questioned for wavering or feeling overwhelmed, as the constructor asserts their power and control over the game. The relationship between the singer and the game is emphasized, with the game being portrayed as the master and the singer as the slave. The song conveys a sense of determination and defiance, as the singer asserts their willingness to play the game and overcome challenges, even if it means faced with failure caused by their own pride.
Overall, "House of Cards" takes the listener on a dark and intense journey into a metaphorical world of games, manipulation, and self-discovery. It explores themes of identity, self-confidence, and the unpredictable nature of life's challenges.

Your pridefulness has made you fail
Your arrogance or excessive pride has caused your downfall
