House of Cards
Sophia Alexa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let you take a bullet to my daydream
Drunk on delusion
Pour a little salt into my wound, please
Telling me to find a silver lining
Oh, I'm trying
Calling everyone, I hear the sirens, mmh
Once the fears come back
All the feelings set in
See my house of cards is crumbling
And trembling now
Through the window sill
If my walls could talk
See my house of cards is caving in
And trembling
So don't be afraid of ('fraid of, 'fraid of)
Turning the lights on (lights on, lights on)
No, don't be afraid of ('fraid of, 'fraid of)
Turning the lights on (lights on, lights on)
Out of paper
Building up a world around myself
I'll keep on praying
That I haven't built a ship to wreck (built a ship to wreck)
Telling me to find a silver lining
Oh, I'm trying
Once the fears come back
All the feelings set in
See my house of cards is crumbling
And trembling now
Through the window sill
If my walls could talk
See my house of cards is caving in
And trembling
So don't be afraid of ('fraid of, 'fraid of)
Turning the lights on (lights on, lights on)
No, don't be afraid of ('fraid of, 'fraid of)
Turning the lights on (lights on, lights on)
So don't be afraid of, mmh
Turning the lights on, mmh
Once the fears come back
All the feelings set in
See my house of cards is crumbling
And trembling now
In these lyrics, Sophia Alexa describes a personal experience that she had when she was just eighteen years old. She metaphorically compares her dreams and aspirations to a delicate house of cards. She admits that she allowed someone to disrupt her daydream, possibly indicating that she trusted someone with her hopes and they disappointed her. This betrayal has left her feeling intoxicated by false beliefs and asking for even more pain to be poured into her wound, suggesting a desire for punishment or suffering as she navigates her shattered dreams.
She mentions that she is constantly told to find a silver lining, implying that she is trying to remain optimistic and find the positive side despite her crumbling situation. She reaches out for help, represented by the sound of sirens, but it is unclear whether anyone actually hears her or comes to her aid. This could symbolize her feeling alone and unheard as she struggles to deal with the aftermath of her shattered dreams.
Sophia Alexa acknowledges that when her fears resurface, her emotions intensify and she can no longer ignore the reality of her situation. Her house of cards, which represents her dreams and hopes, crumbles and trembles, indicating the fragility and instability of her current state. Through the window sill, she wishes her walls could talk, suggesting a longing for someone or something to understand her pain and offer support.
Despite the challenges she faces, Sophia Alexa encourages herself and others not to fear turning the lights on. This can be interpreted as an invitation to face the truth and confront the darkness that may surround her. By embracing vulnerability and exposing her situation to the light, she hopes to find a way to rebuild and overcome the chaos that has unfolded. This line serves as a reminder to stay brave and not be afraid of confronting the reality of her situation.
