Hardway
Life's Lessons Unveiled: Embracing Truth and Resilience in 'Hardway'
Lyrics
Tell it to my face, what you'd send me
Tell it to my face, communicate directly instead of using indirect methods
In a passive aggressive smiley emoji
In a passive-aggressive smiley emoji, using passive-aggressive communication with emojis
There's no shame in hate, as long as it's out of love
There's no shame in hate, as long as it's out of love, suggesting that expressing dislike is acceptable if rooted in love
And when push comes to shove, there's always honesty
And when push comes to shove, there's always honesty, advocating for honesty in challenging situations
And I learnt that the hardway, and I learnt that the hardway
Repetition of the idea of learning things the hard way
And I learnt that the hardway, and I learnt that the hardway
-I was broken down in a town I had never even heard of
Describing a challenging experience in an unfamiliar place, seeking help from potential future connections
Calling favours from strangers I'd one day love
-And in that moment little did I know this would stick like honey
-As you see the sun sliding down the sky,
Observing the beauty of the night sky, emphasizing the smallness of human existence
Down the final line of it's daily marathon
-Well the night wraps you up in a blanket of stars
-Calmly highlighting how small we really are
-And I learnt that the hardway, and I learnt that the hardway
Reiteration of learning from difficult experiences
And I learnt that the hardway, and I learnt that the hardway
-And I learnt that the hardway, and I learnt that the hardway
-And I learnt that the hardway, and I learnt that the hardway
-I was broken down in a town I had never even heard of
Repetition of the earlier challenging experience and its lasting impact
Calling favours from strangers I'd one day love
-And in that moment little did I know this would stick like honey
-A good day is a good day, that's what they tell me
Contrasting perspectives on good and bad days, suggesting that challenging days make interesting stories
A bad day will always be a good story
-A good day is a good day, that's what they tell me
-A bad day will always be a good story
-A good day is a good day, that's what they tell me
-A bad day will always be a good story
-A good day is a good day, that's what they tell me
-A bad day will always be a good story
-They said a good day
They said a good day, indicating external influence or societal expectations about defining a good day
