Below, I translated the lyrics of the song House Of Cards by BTS from Korean to English.
Tto witaerowo
On edge again

Hang on some more

Fall apart again
Kaduro mandeun jip
A house made of cards
Geu sogeseo urin
Inside it, we
Kkeuti boindaedo
Even if we see the end
Got sseureojindaedo
Even if it all collapses
Kadeuro mandeun jip
A house made of cards
Babogati urin
We, like fools
Heosdeon kkumiraedo
Even if it's an empty dream
Idaero jogeum deo
Just a little longer like this

Jigeum naegen nun ape neoreul ppaen modeun ge
Right now, everything in front of me but you
Jidokhi kkamkkamhan eodumiji

Ipbeoreuscheoreom malhae
I say it out of habit
Urin gyeolgugen an dwae
We won't work in the end
Geuraedo nan gyesok barae
Still, I keep hoping
Majimakdo neowa hamkkeramyeon
If even the end is with you
I'm okay
I'm okay
Imi algo isseodo
Though we already know
Meomchul suga eopseosseo
Couldn't stop
No way, no way, no way
No way, no way, no way
Sseureojyeo

SONG MEANING

"House Of Cards" drops listeners into the suspenseful moment just before everything collapses. BTS compare a shaky relationship to a tower of playing cards: it looks delicate, it feels dangerous, yet both people keep stacking card after card because neither wants to face the crash. The lyrics pulse with warnings—so bad, so hard, so dangerous—but they also whisper a stubborn hope, begging time to “slow down” so the fragile dream can stand a little longer.

At its heart, the song is about loving something you know is doomed. Each beat echoes the fear of watching cracks spread while pretending not to see them. Even when the darkness closes in, the members admit they would rather stay together for the final fall than walk away safely alone. It is a tense, dramatic portrait of denial and devotion, capturing the bittersweet thrill of holding your breath inside a house built on nothing but cards.
