Hard To Explain
Navigating the Complexities of Existence: Hard To Explain by Touché Amoré
Lyrics
Was an honest man
Expressing that the person mentioned was honest
Asked me for the phone
Someone asked for the phone
Tried to take control
An attempt to take control of a situation
Oh, I don't see it that way
Disagreement with a perspective
I don't see it that way
Reiteration of disagreement
We shared some ideas
Sharing of ideas with others
All obsessed with fame
Collective obsession with fame
Says we're all the same
Assertion that everyone is the same
Oh, I don't see it that way
Reiteration of disagreement with the mentioned perspective
I don't see it that way
Reiteration of disagreement
Raised in Carolina
Indication of being raised in Carolina
I'm not like that
Rejection of a particular behavior or identity
Tryin' to remind her
Attempting to remind someone of something
When we go back
Reference to returning to a place
I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
Mention of missing a transportation option
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain
Expressing difficulty in explaining something
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
Stating the ability to say the right thing but act differently
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
Preference for the current situation but inability to stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Engaging with media and forgetting instructions
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Feeling young in a situation where others are old
The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
Commenting on the chaotic nature of a place
You're right, it's true
Agreement with a previous statement
He says he can't decide
Someone unable to make a decision
I shake my head to say
Non-verbal disagreement with a statement
Everything's just great
Positive affirmation despite potential internal struggles
Oh, I just can't remember
Memory lapse or difficulty in remembering
I just can't remember
Reiteration of memory difficulty
Raised in Carolina
Indication of being raised in Carolina
She says, "I'm not like that"
Rejection of a particular behavior or identity
Trying to remind her
Attempting to remind someone of something
When we go back
Reference to returning to a place
I say the right thing, but act the wrong way
Stating the ability to say the right thing but act differently
I like it right here, but I cannot stay
Preference for the current situation but inability to stay
I watch the TV, forget what I'm told
Engaging with media and forgetting instructions
Well, I am too young, and they are too old
Feeling young in a situation where others are old
Oh man, can't you see I'm nervous? So please
Expression of nervousness and a plea for understanding
Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
Suggesting a need for others to pretend to be nice for a hidden reason
I missed the last bus, we'll take the next train
Mention of missing a transportation option and planning to take the next
I'll try but you see, it's hard to explain
Expressing difficulty in explaining something
