In the ever expanding and often cookie cutter genre of music we have come to know as Pop, the Egyptian princess known as Myra Sky is poised to become a radiant fixture in a music industry plagued by one-hit wonders. Born to Egyptian parents in Boston Massachusetts, and raised in Knoxville Tennessee, Myra Sky grew up under strict cultural principles where becoming a professional singer couldn't be any more far-fetched. "I literally felt like I was raised in a box, my parents loved me very much and didn't want me to be exposed to anything that could taint the values they instilled in me so I was very sheltered" Myra humorously explains.
Myra Sky developed a burning love for music and started singing at the age of 7. "It would feel like I was in a world of my own and I knew my voice was something that no one could take away from me" she says. Mariah Carey was the first artist that truly inspired Myra Sky to become a singer. "As a young child music was my only means of exposure to the world, and so it's no coincidence that it also became the best way I know how to truly express myself" She says.
As Myra Sky grew older, so did her passion and focus in music. In college she kept busy by performing at various talent shows, and singing the national anthem at many sporting events all over the city. At the beginning of her college years Myra Sky relocated to Atlanta, Georgia to pursue a career in music. She quickly became known around town for her outstanding performances and received top honors at many of the hottest showcases in the city. Myra Sky had confidence that she possessed the talent needed to succeed as a professional singer.
All the diligence and hard work she put in finally paid off when Record Executive Alvin Bailey recognized Myra Sky's potential to become the next big star of Pop music. Soon after, Myra Sky was offered a production deal with Payeback Music Group. "There is an inner beauty about Myra Sky because she believes in herself and also she's one of the hardest working artists I've met!!" says Payeback Music's CEO Alvin Bailey.
Towards the tail end of 2011 Myra Sky signed with the Payeback Music Group, and relocated to New York City. In early 2012 she was selected to be a contestant on Season 3 of NBC’s hit show “The Voice”. “The Voice was a really great experience that taught me nothing less than 100% dedication to your craft is acceptable for success” Myra explains. She’s currently gearing up to release her Debut EP “License II Love” this spring, and plans on touring shortly after.
Throughout the many obstacles along her journey Myra Sky has remained confident, strong, and determined to be the next big star. Most importantly Myra Sky strives to be a humanitarian in order to change lives all around the world. "I really want to use the voice and influence I will have to positively shape tomorrow's future and give hope and motivation to as many people as possible" she says with the greatest sincerity.
THIS IS MYRA SKY...
House of Cards
Myra Sky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Maybe we could be forever
Maybe in another life
'Cause we lost, we'll never go back to that summer
Where we used to live in color
Now it's all in black and white
Our love is like a house of cards
But I don't wanna mess with a broken heart
So baby, let it all fall down
I can see it falling like the rain
If you gonna knock it down
Let me be the one you blow away
So come on, let it all fall down
'Cause I know it's only just a game
So I'm gonna watch, gonna watch it fall apart
Like a house of cards
Watch it all fall, watch it all fall down
Watch it all fall down (like a house of cards)
Watch it all fall, watch it all fall down
Watch it all fall down (like a house of cards)
It's a drug that I just don't feel like taking
I don't feel like getting wasted
Or wasting all my time
On a crush that will never keep me sober
Boy, you left me so hung over
And hung up on a line, a line
Our love is like a house of paper
Built so we could tear it all apart
But I don't wanna mess with a broken heart
So baby, let it all fall down
I can see it falling like the rain
If you gonna knock it down
Let me be the one you blow away
So come on, let it all fall down
'Cause I know it's only just a game
So I'm gonna watch, gonna watch it fall apart
Like a house of cards
Watch it all fall, watch it all fall down
Watch it all fall down (like a house of cards)
Watch it all fall, watch it all fall down
Watch it all fall down (like a house of cards)
If we're a story I wanna erase it
I'll make a bet 'cause I'm holding the aces
You'll never play, won't play with my heart
Baby, I'm gonna play, I'm playing my card
So baby, let it all fall down (let it all fall down)
I can see it falling like the rain (falling like the rain)
If you gonna knock it down (knock me down)
Let me be the one you blow away (baby, baby, baby)
So come on, let it all fall down
'Cause I know it's only just a game
So I'm gonna watch, gonna watch it fall apart
Like a house of cards
Watch it all fall, watch it all fall down
Watch it all fall down (like a house of cards)
Watch it all fall, watch it all fall down
Watch it all fall down (like a house of cards)
The lyrics to "House of Cards" by Myra Sky explore the aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening lines question whether the relationship was ever right or wrong and whether it was meant to last forever. The singer acknowledges that they may have had a bright moment in the past, but it seems lost forever in the present. The metaphor of a "house of cards" is used throughout the song, signifying the fragility of their love, built to collapse in the slightest of winds. The singer knows it's a one-sided game with a no-win outcome, so they choose not to take part in it anymore.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the metaphor of a house of cards falling apart. The singer admits that their love was doomed from the start and built to fail. They're resigned to watch it all fall apart and acknowledge that sometimes, you can't prevent the fall. She continues to compare their love to a house made of paper in the second verse, indicating that it was built to be volatile and fragile.
The final verse marks a shift in attitude, where the singer has taken control and leaves the past behind. She chooses to play her cards, taking calculated risks, as she's already holding the aces, and expects the other party not to play games with her heart anymore. Taking control, she leaves the sinking ship and sees it all come crashing down. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, imploring to let it all fall down.
