Seen How Things Are Hard
Navigating Life's Challenges: A Poetic Journey by Elliott Smith
Lyrics
I took you to the train
I accompanied you to the train.
Stupid shit you just play
You engage in foolish behavior for amusement.
I took the pictures in my head
I captured mental images.
You look like a skeleton a little dressy thing
You appear fragile, dressed up.
You just didn't care
You were indifferent, unconcerned.
You're all getting drunk instead
All of you are becoming intoxicated instead.
Seen how things are hard
Recognizing the difficulty of situations.
Seen how things are hard
A repetition emphasizing the challenging nature of things.
I love you though
Expressing love despite challenges.
Seen how things are hard
Acknowledging the hardships.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the tough circumstances.
Well don't you know
An expression of surprise or emphasis.
The state of what you've got
The current state of what you possess.
It's a dizzy hot and just damn forgot
A chaotic and forgetful description of the situation.
Stay well away from trouble that you caused
A caution to stay away from the trouble caused.
Using all your strength to keep the world at an arm's length
Using strength to keep the world at a distance.
And I get upset that something was lost
Feeling upset about a loss.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the challenging nature of things.
Seen how things are hard
A repetition emphasizing the hardships.
I love you though
Expressing love despite difficulties.
Seen how things are hard
Highlighting the tough circumstances.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the challenging nature of things.
Well don't you know
An expression of surprise or emphasis.
I'm a glad reflection of you
Being a reflection of someone with contentment.
I can't make corrections for you
Unable to make corrections for someone.
You have to help to patch things up
The need for cooperation to mend things.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the challenging nature of things.
Seen how things are hard
A repetition emphasizing the hardships.
I love you though
Expressing love despite difficulties.
Seen how things are hard
Acknowledging the hardships.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the tough circumstances.
Well don't you know seen how things are hard
Emphasizing the challenging nature of things.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the tough circumstances.
I love you though
Expressing love despite difficulties.
Seen how things are hard
Acknowledging the hardships.
Seen how things are hard
Reiterating the challenging nature of things.
Well don't you know
An expression of surprise or emphasis.
No
A conclusive statement - "No."
