House Of Cards
Jorn Lyrics

It's late at night
The singer is up at an ungodly hour.

And I'm watching the news
The singer is watching the latest news.

There's blood on the screen
The news is reporting on violent events.

And I felt guilty somehow
The artist feels guilty for being safe and protected.

Escaping from reality
The artist is trying to avoid the harsh reality.

When I close my eyes
The singer doesn't want to imagine the worst.

Don't want to see them die
The singer is traumatized by the images of death.

Hear the children cry
The artist is heartbroken by the plight of innocent children.

There's been so much trouble
The world has been in turmoil for a long time.

Too many sad songs have been played
The artist is tired of the bleakness of existence.

And when you think you've found something real
The singer has been searching for something true in a world of deceit.

It's suddenly so deceiving
The world is full of traps and pitfalls.

Hard to believe in changes
The singer is skeptical about whether things can get better.

It's a faded paradise
The world seems to be losing its luster.

And I'm running out of strength
The singer is exhausted from the struggle to survive.

In this house made of cards
The world is precarious and fragile.

Smoke is rising
Something is burning or smoldering.

Playing in the fire
The world is dangerous and on the edge of disaster.

Change the mode - crack the code
The singer is trying to find a way out of the crisis.

Power overload
The situation is overwhelming and out of control.

SOS - Emergency
The artist feels helpless and in need of help.

No one seems to find the key
The solution to the problem remains elusive.

I've been seeking my fortune
The singer has been searching for a way to succeed.

For too many years
The search has been going on for a long time.

Living on the edge - racing time
The singer is living a precarious and uncertain life.

But it never took me far
The singer has not made much progress despite their efforts.

Never got to reach that star
The singer has failed to achieve their dreams.

In this house made of cards
The world is uncertain and unstable.

Will we ever find the key
The artist wonders if there is a solution to the world's problems.

What will the future be
The singer is anxious about what is to come.

I want to see
The singer desires a better future but is unsure how to achieve it.

We are living on the dark side
The world is full of evil and danger.

In a cold time - searching for the light
The artist is trying to find hope in a bleak world.

Stranded - and we will stand the fight
The artist is determined to keep fighting despite their isolation.

Must be hope in sight
The singer believes that there is still a chance for things to improve.

The wind will blow and seeds will grow
The artist is hopeful that things will get better in the future.

And I know that someday we'll be there
The singer is optimistic about the future despite the current troubles.

Save me - want me
The singer is desperate for help and affection.

These are stormy days
The world is in a state of crisis and turmoil.

Playing in the fire
The world is flirting with disaster.
