The cards never lie, my last breath a sigh
And now I think about if it’s my time to die
I don’t know what I was thinking, steady wasting time with Hill
And I need to live my life because my time is unforgiven
I can’t understand how my life changed around
Manifest my destiny, is it the brown underground?
Blue skies are turning gray it’s the point of indecision
Believing in the cards you must respect its every vision
Girlfriend, get your mind on line
Don’t spend your time cause you can’t waste your time
Everyday like it’s your last, but you must feel divine
Intervention comes and snatch up all your dreams from behind
Love!
You feel it and you got to let them know it
Love!
Your heart and that’s the feeling that you go with
If you have a dream you need to go and let them know it
Cause you could wake up in the morning and it could be over
No, no, no, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna go
Just, just, just let me stay home
Let me live my dream, let me see another dawn
No, no, no, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna go
Just, just, just let me stay home
Let me live my dream, let me see another dawn
Carmen, don’t listen cause the cards have deceit
Just slide him the money, we don’t need a receipt
Truth only exists within the eyes of the beholder
Plus he’s kind of young for fortune telling
He probably should be older
But the cards never lie, I thought I told you
Now it’s her turn to try, to reach her goals before she reaches the sky
This is love
It’s like I’m trying to throw my life away
Sometimes love is all you got and other times it makes you pay
Well when you finally rise
Then you’ll realize
The windows to the soul are not the hips but the eyes
Oh you could wish on the stars but they’re dead, just a lie
But they shine just as bright as they did their entire life
No, no, no, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna go
Just, just, just let me stay home
Let me live my dreams, let me see another dawn
No, no, no, no
I don’t wanna, I don’t wanna
I don’t wanna go
Just, just, just let me stay home
Just let me live my dreams, let me see another dawn
Facing Fate and Embracing Uncertainty
“Cards Never Lie” by Beyonce delves into the timeless struggle between destiny and free will. Throughout the song, Beyonce reflects on the unpredictability of life, questioning fate and her own mortality. The lyricist touches on tarot and fortune-telling as metaphors for seeking answers, yet she cautions against relying too heavily on external predictions. The chorus, with its repeated plea to “let me live my dream, let me see another dawn,” is a powerful expression of hope and the desire to savor life’s possibilities, even in the face of uncertainty and fear.
The Power of Love and Self-Discovery
Love emerges as both a risk and a salvation in the narrative. Beyonce encourages listeners to express love and chase their dreams, reminding us that the future is never guaranteed. The song’s introspective tone invites listeners to value the present and trust their own intuition, rather than surrendering to anxiety or the perceived judgments of fate.
