Too Hard
Navigating Complexity: Love's Labyrinth in 'Too Hard' by Mark McAdam
Lyrics
You make it too hard,
You create difficulty or challenges
You make it too hard,
Reiteration of causing difficulty
You make it too hard.
Continued expression of causing hardship
You make it too hard,
Repetition of expressing the difficulty caused
You make it too hard,
Continued emphasis on the challenges presented
You make it too hard.
Reiteration of making things difficult
Well I could use a little comfort,
Desire for comfort in a situation
I mean we could use a little straight on.
Suggestion to approach things straightforwardly
So don't get tangled up in all the pretty things you could choke on.
Warning against being entangled in superficial attractions
You make it too hard,
Repetition of stating the difficulty created
You make it too hard.
Emphasizing the challenges imposed
Well you just might
Indication of achieving the right balance
Get it just right
Suggesting that finding the balance might take time
But that could take too long.
Expressing the potential time-consuming nature of getting it right
So I'll stand by all the things that I get wrong.
Commitment to accepting one's mistakes
You make it too hard,
Reiteration of causing difficulty
You make it too hard,
Emphasizing the challenges presented
You make it too hard.
Continued expression of making things hard
But do you ever let your guard down?
Querying about letting down one's guard
I mean do you ever just get turned on?
Asking if simplicity and truthfulness are attractive
By something that's simple and easy and true
Describing the appeal of simple and true things
Cause I could use a little patience
Expressing a need for patience
I mean we could use a little straight on.
Suggesting a direct approach to situations
It's safe to say that you could lighten up a little and then some.
Encouraging lightening up and being more flexible
Floating on a sea of superiority doesn't suit you.
Criticizing an attitude of superiority
It only works to pollute you
Highlighting the negative effects of arrogance
Still I guess I salute you
Recognizing the effort to change despite flaws
For tryin'
Acknowledging the attempt to improve
But,
Transition to the chorus
You make it too hard,
Reiteration of causing difficulty
You make it too hard,
Emphasizing the challenges imposed
You make it too hard.
Continued expression of making things hard
You make it too hard,
Repetition of stating the difficulty created
You make it too hard.
Emphasizing the challenges presented
Well you just might
Indication of achieving the right balance
Get it just right
Suggesting that finding the balance might take time
But that could take too long.
Expressing the potential time-consuming nature of getting it right
So I'll stand by all the things that I get wrong.
Commitment to accepting one's mistakes
You made it too hard,
Concluding that the situation was made difficult
You made it too hard,
Reiteration of the challenges imposed
You made it too hard.
Final expression of the difficulty created
