House of Cards
Kadinja Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Waiting for that final awakening
I stand alone
'Cause every word
Every desire
Drive me under away from my soul
Pillars of paper
And it all falls apart on first touch
Don’t watch me!
I don't want another pressure
Keep your distance
I wanna live on my own
For my soul
Ignited flowers
For my passion
Just a wayward distraction
Fuck
Convention keeps us apart
The midnight fears are gone
Now I must be gone
Don't wait too long
Don’t wait eternally
You can't take me from this fall
Oh oh oh
Now I must be gone
Don't wait too long
Don't wait eternally
You can't take me from this fall
(You can't take me from this fall!)
Don't lead me on to the conventions
There's no place for me
Don’t give me the wrong destination
And now keep your distance!
Now I must be gone
Don’t wait too long
Don't wait eternally
You can’t take me from this fall
Now I must be gone
Don't wait too long
Don't wait eternally
You can't take me from this fall
Oh oh oh
Now I must be gone
Don’t wait too long
Don't wait eternally
You can't take me from this fall
The lyrics of Kadinja's song "House of Cards" speak to a sense of self-determination and the refusal to conform to societal expectations. The singer expresses a desire to live on their own terms, away from the pressures and conventions imposed upon them. They feel trapped within a fragile existence, represented by the metaphor of a "house of cards." Every word and desire that drives them further away from their authentic self is like a touch that causes everything to crumble.
The phrase "Pillars of paper" symbolizes the illusory nature of the structures and expectations that society places upon individuals. These constructions offer no stability or grounding but instead collapse under the slightest pressure. The singer rejects the influence of others and urges them to keep their distance, asserting their need for personal autonomy. They yearn for a life filled with passion and authenticity, free from the constraints of conformity and fear.
Overall, "House of Cards" is an anthem of defiance and self-assertion, emphasizing the importance of staying true to oneself and resisting societal pressures that can stifle individuality and personal growth.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh!
Expressing a sudden realization or understanding
Waiting for that final awakening
Anticipating a significant and transformative moment
I stand alone
Being independent and self-reliant
'Cause every word
Because every spoken message
Every desire
Each longing or craving
Drives me under away from my soul
Pushes me further from my true self
Pillars of paper
Fragile foundations
And it all falls apart on first touch
And everything crumbles upon contact
Don't watch me!
Please don't observe me closely
I don't want another pressure
I don't desire additional burdens
Keep your distance
Maintain a physical and emotional separation
I wanna live on my own
I yearn to exist independently
For my soul
For the sake of my inner being
Ignited flowers
Passionate blossoms
For my passion
In accordance with my intense enthusiasm
Just a wayward distraction
Only a temporary diversion
Fuck
Expressing frustration, anger, or rebellion
Convention keeps us apart
Traditional norms and expectations create distance between us
The midnight fears are gone
The anxieties and insecurities have vanished
Now I must be gone
Now I must depart
Don't wait too long
Do not delay excessively
Don’t wait eternally
Do not remain in perpetual waiting
You can't take me from this fall
You cannot prevent me from experiencing this downfall
Don't lead me on to the conventions
Do not guide me towards conforming to societal norms
There's no place for me
There is no suitable space or acceptance for who I am
Don’t give me the wrong destination
Do not provide an incorrect path or goal
And now keep your distance!
And now, please maintain a distance from me
