The Harder That You Hurt
Strength in Vulnerability: Embracing Love's Pain
Lyrics
The stronger you are, the weaker you feel
The more strength you possess, the more vulnerable you become.
The deeper that you bleed, the further you will reach
Greater emotional pain (bleeding) enables you to achieve greater distances or heights in life.
The higher you climb, the further you fall
As you ascend to higher levels in life, the potential for a more significant fall increases.
The harder that you love, the harder that you hurt
Loving intensely comes with the consequence of experiencing more profound hurt.
Many miles are left to go heading down this rocky road we know
There is a long journey ahead on a challenging path that is familiar to us.
All the times that sit behind us seem so alone
Past moments seem isolated and forlorn.
With heavy hearts we close the door the lights fade and the silence roars
Closing a chapter with sadness; the fading lights and ensuing silence are powerful.
We're heading home under empty starlight all alone
Returning home beneath a sky devoid of stars, feeling solitary.
The stronger you are, the weaker you feel
Reiteration of the idea that inner strength can paradoxically lead to inner vulnerability.
The deeper that you bleed, the further you will reach
The depth of personal pain correlates with the potential for reaching greater heights.
The higher you climb, the further you fall
Advancing in life increases the risk of a significant setback or failure.
The harder that you love, the harder that you hurt
Loving passionately amplifies the potential for enduring intense emotional pain.
Counting days till we are back on the road again
Anticipation of a future journey, possibly with challenges, until back on the road.
Time stamped a burden on our souls
The passage of time burdens the soul with experiences and memories.
One day we're gonna make it home
Hopeful aspiration to eventually reach a place called home.
The stronger you are but the weaker you feel
Reiteration with a nuanced twist, highlighting the paradox of strength and vulnerability.
The deeper that you bleed, the further you will reach
Emphasizing the correlation between deep emotional pain and the ability to achieve.
The higher that you climb, the further you will fall
The higher you climb in life, the farther the potential fall.
The harder that you love, the harder that you hurt
Repeating the idea that intense love corresponds to intensified emotional pain.
The stronger you are, the weaker you feel
Reiterating the paradox of strength coexisting with inner vulnerability.
Stronger, stronger you are
A reinforcement of strength but with a sense of questioning or uncertainty.
The harder you bleed
Intensifying the idea of pain by associating it with bleeding.
Stronger you are, the weaker you feel
A paradoxical statement emphasizing the vulnerability within strength.
