Lyric

RAINBOWS

The Cards I Play

Tell me your secrets

Behind the masks and the lies

Acting out a fit, controlled by your shallow pride

Hypocrite!

You’re numb to it

I’m done with it

Sick of it

What’s underneath the surface of that veil

Open your eyes

Find yourself before you fade away

Who’s your clique next?

Flashing your made-up crown

Speaking on who, this, that

Tryna fit in the crowd

It’s like a parasite leeching off of their skin

Cuz you got nothing else left to say

Before you fall down

Say what you wanna say

And build your own ground

Do what you wanna do

And make yourself proud

Time keeps ticking every minute away

If you only flex what you rent

Then get out of my way

I’m still…

Turning inside out

(Through this sound, through this sound I seek this)

Chasing rainbows above the clouds again

Burning in my soul

(Through this sound, through this sound I seek this)

Screaming echoes, My faith will carry on

Trapped yourself in a haze with all your secrets

Now your back’s to the wall can’t hide your bullshit

Pick up bricks, Pick up bricks, build

Build it up, let it form the more you feed

Get a grip, get a grip

Never let your real true self slip

Don’t need a fake disguise

Your silhouette is your own to make

Don’t wanna be another one of these clones

You gotta, dig deep find the power within

You see them clinging to an illusion man I couldn’t relate

You know

Turning inside out

(Through this sound, through this sound I seek this)

Chasing rainbows above the clouds again

Burning in my soul

(Through this sound, through this sound I seek this)

Screaming echoes, My faith will carry on

Destined fate, I will walk to the depth

I’ll Take take take every step

I’m becoming whole

Make your sound

(No more running away from…)

Preserve your halo

(I’m still here)

Scream out loud

(No more running away)

And leave your echo

I’m still here

I let go, of what I’ve lost

I’ve stayed on, this path I chose

And gather pieces along the way

To be what I dream to be

I’m…

Turning inside out

(Through this sound, through this sound I seek this)

Chasing rainbows above the clouds again

Burning in my soul

(Through this sound, through this sound I seek this)

Screaming echoes, My faith will carry on

Through this sound

Know I’ll get what I want now

Artist Profile

  • The Cards I Play

    The Cards I Play is an alternative nu-metal band hailing from Tokyo, Japan. Since their formation in 2019, they have been carving out a distinct presence in Japan's heavy music scene, rapidly building momentum with their explosive sound and raw energy. Fusing the intensity of metalcore, the grit of nu-metal, and the attitude of hip hop, the band delivers a genre-bending sound that feels both cutting-edge and unmistakably their own - bold, unfiltered, and fiercely dynamic. 2024 marked a breakthrough year: they headlined their first-ever solo show and completed a nationwide headline tour, proving their draw as a live act. They also lit up the stage as the opening act at SiM's 'DEAD POP FESTiVAL' and joined UK heavyweights WHILE SHE SLEEPS as the guest act for their entire Japan tour. With buzz continuing to build, The Cards I Play are now gearing up for their biggest chapter yet - the release of their highly anticipated second full-length album later this year, followed by their first full-scale solo headline tour across Japan
