Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's so hard
to tell you how I feel
it's so hard
to tell you baby, it's real
Deep inside
deep inside
It's so hard
it's so hard




Overall Meaning

"Dive" is a three-piece alternative rock band based in New Jersey, and "So Hard" is one of their most popular hits. The song is about the difficulty of expressing one's feelings to someone they care about. The lyrics begin with the chorus, "It's so hard, to tell you how I feel, it's so hard, to tell you baby, it's real." The repetition of the phrase "so hard" accentuates the struggles the singer faces. The song's second half uses the phrase "deep inside" repeatedly to emphasize that the singer's feelings are real and intense but cannot be easily articulated. Often, people fear the vulnerability that comes with expressing emotions, as it can feel like an unspoken admission of weakness. This song's concept and lyrics address that fear.


Moreover, the song's instrumental melody follows a straightforward structure of repeating chord progressions, forming a catchy and upbeat background to the lyrics. The intro starts with the guitar playing a power chord pattern that sets a rock mood to the song, which goes on with an infectious riff that serves as the song's hook. The lyrical impact of the song is that our feelings are not always easy to express, mostly when it comes to deep and personal emotions. "So Hard" is a song that speaks to the struggle of human connection and the challenges that accompany it.
