Hard Enough
Navigating the Depths of Emotion: Hard Enough by Zachary Crawford
Lyrics
Cut me
Cutting me
I won’t bleed
I won't show vulnerability
Open my circuits up to see my guarantee
Opening up emotionally, revealing my assurance
Tell me not to fail
Advising not to disappoint or falter
You’re trying to change direction
Attempting to shift course
from the belly of a whale
Metaphorically, emerging from a challenging situation
Is it hard enough?
Pondering if the situation is difficult enough
tell me do I think
Asking if I contemplate deeply
with my heart enough
Wondering if I engage emotionally
Don’t use your head now
Advising against overthinking
Open up
Encouraging emotional openness
I’m broken up
Expressing personal brokenness
It’s hard enough
Reflecting on the difficulty of the situation
Don’t make it harder
Requesting not to exacerbate the challenge
Turning into stone
Metaphorically transforming into an emotionless state
Divert the blood from all the happiness we’ve known
Redirecting emotions away from joyful memories
Writing history
Engaging in the act of recording past events
It’s not the things we see
Emphasizing the importance of perception over reality
It’s how the things might seem to be
Highlighting the significance of appearances
Is it hard enough?
Questioning the severity of the challenge
tell me do I think
Asking if deep thinking is involved
with my heart enough
Inquiring about emotional engagement
Don’t use your head now
Warning against intellectualizing
Don’t forget
Reminder not to overlook
I won’t forget
Affirmation of not forgetting
It’s hard enough
Reiterating the toughness of the situation
Don’t make it harder
Requesting to avoid additional complications
Is it hard enough to keep you from the feeling
Questioning if the challenge is strong enough to suppress emotions
Is it hard enough to feel
Asking if the challenge is potent enough to induce feelings
