One thing I’ve noticed was the tarot cards at the beginning… The Sun Reversed, The Stars Reversed, and The Moon.
The Sun Reversed can embody pessimism, and ignorance. At at part of the song, she talks about how she takes in “the world at play,” but by the end this changes to tragedy, and it appears they can no longer tolerate the spreading disease.
The Stars card represents faith, and the reversed card represents a loss of faith. The ending embodies this with the line “Please tell me when the fog will subside.” There’s no longer any hope that they can survive whatever fog is blotting out the sky, covering up the stars and northern lights (to where they would only appear in drawings). There was faith displayed in the lines “God give us clearer skies” and that faith was destroyed.
Lastly, the card The Moon was in the upright position, representing mysteries, and the definition saying “The Moon is a card of illusion and deception, and therefore often suggests a time when something is not as it appears to be. Perhaps a misunderstanding on your part, or a truth you cannot admit to yourself.” This is brutal when it comes to the end of the song, as for the most part, the main character has been telling herself that everything is fine. “…she swallowed whole another day, taking in the world at play…”
Currently, I don’t have much knowledge of tarot cards, whether it be the major or minor arcana, so please correct me or elaborate on them if need be, I’d hope to learn a bit more about them either way

I am a student in Japan, but now I really want to study English.
Because I want to be able to understand the lyrics of this song without going through a translator. I also want to be able to sing.
This comment may be a little incoherent because I relied on the translator a little. Please forgive me.
P.S. I've received comments of support and advice from many people, some of whom are studying foreign languages as well, and it's been very encouraging. I haven't been able to respond to them, but I read each one. Thank you so much! And I also want to say thank you for this song and GHOST.

it took me a hot minute to figure out what was going on

(for anyone looking for this because its
hard to keep up if you dont know the song) Lyrics:
barely printed, on the dot
she wondered why the record stopped
flipping through the pages of a child's eulogy
surfacing beneath malaise
a game of cards went on for days
escalated fog disease
they've fallen to their knees
wait your turn, there's something still inside
out of thousands gathered asking how and why
caught and tamed the unexplained
formed a semblance of their normalcy
and took it to their graves
watch - perhaps forgotten
a girl preserved throughout the years
repainted in the prism past
we're holding hands at long last
fortified by age-gold condolences
drawings of the northern lights
god, give us clearer skies
open-eyed, entangled in promises
furthering the questions asked
hands tied behind our backs
bared fangs behind a mask
set reminders, sworn to pray
she swallowed whole another day
taking in the world at play
it's brighter than the sun
reprimands sit in the brew
behind the show, a better view
aggrevated fog disease
collapsing to their knees
wait your turn, there's something still inside
out of thousands gathered asking how and why
who's to blame? is it mundane?
maybe tangible by needlework?
they're desperate for a name
burned a language unlearned
the arbitrary colors of a variegated disarray
fortified by age-gold condolences
drawings of the northern lights
god, give us clearer skies
open-eyed, entangled in promises
furthering the questions asked
hands tied behind our backs
bared fangs behind a mask
tell me when the fog will subside
please tell me when the fog will subside
poorly held together condolences
drowning out the northern lights
pay more for old advice
open-eyed entangled in promises
buried under dying homes
hands tied in golden thorns
i'm defined by guesswork analogies
documenting daily life tell me i'll be alright
open-eyed entangled in absentees
stories of a child's past autopsied broken glass
my aura shines at last

1:17 the forgotten being pronounced as "forgodden" as we all as humans tend to shortcut and slur our words - beautiful

From theories that I have read in the comment section and what I interpret, my take is the following:
The song is a interpretation of the misfortunes (the reversed arcana) told by the diary of a little polish girl who died amidst a war, and how the finders of the diary are happy that the memories of the girl are recovered (her aura can shine at last). There's tons of tradition blaming and nods to war, like the hope for clear skies (without aircrafts), or the necessity of burial below a person's house.
It honestly makes me want to learn about polish history, I've always been taught history of my own country and not much more
