House of Cards Lyrics

I don't want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts

Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

And fall off the table
Get swept under

Denial, denial

The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your husband goodnight

And forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I'll do mine

Fall off the table
And get swept under

Denial, denial
Denial, denial
(Your ears should be burning)
Denial, denial
(Your ears should be burning)

What is the Meaning of House of Cards?

Diving into the depth of emotional vulnerability, this song speaks about a love that is raw and real. The singer doesn't want a superficial relationship (house of cards) that can easily collapse, but rather craves for a deep, passionate bond (lover), regardless of its outcome. The repeated line "Denial, denial" suggests the struggle to accept these intense feelings or perhaps the refusal to settle for less than what's desired. The lyrics also hint at societal norms and pressures (infrastructure) that could hinder such love from flourishing freely. A daring exploration of love in its purest form indeed! #LoveBeyondNorms #EmotionalHonesty #RawPassion
