Kid Please Try Harder
Faker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You live in regret
I remember the kiss when we first met
I remember the sting
As you finished me off -
And I remember my face when you stopped -
And said
Â'Cos IÂ'm so tired of it all
With no command.
And I said
Please try harder while you can
IÂ'm now required by love
To be in command.
YouÂ're stuck here with me
And IÂ'm stuck here with you
WeÂ'll walk through it all –
Like we used to.
And the things youÂ'd forget
When we live without fear
Ill broke on the road –
And IÂ'll be here, singing
Kid, please try harder while you can
Â'Cos IÂ'm so tired of it all
And all your plans.
Can you please try harder while you can
IÂ'm now required by love
To hold your hands.
YouÂ've been flashing white light
From the palms on your hands
You were ready to fight –
Or to land.
YouÂ're so easily led
You didnÂ't know how to dance
So thatÂ's all you want
From romance.
(Well then, Kid)
Please try harder while you can
Â'Cos IÂ'm so tired of a love
With all your plans
I said
Please try harder while you can
IÂ'm now required by the law
To hold your hand.
(Can you try?)
(CÂ'mon, try)
(CÂ'mon, try)
(Can we try?)
(Could you try?)
Could you try?
You were flashing white light
From the palms of your hands
You were ready to fight -
Or to land.
YouÂ're so easily led
You didnÂ't know how to dance
But if thatÂ's all you want
If this is all you want -
From romance.
Faker's song Kid Please Try Harder is a powerful reflection on the complexities of relationships and love. The lyrics describe a relationship that is stuck in a cycle of regret and disappointment, with both parties feeling trapped and unable to break free. The singer remembers the initial attraction and passion of their connection, but also the pain and hurt that followed. The chorus is an appeal to the other person to try harder to make the relationship work, to put in more effort and commitment before it's too late.
Throughout the song, there are references to light and darkness, fighting and landing, and the struggle to dance. These images hint at a struggle for control and power in the relationship, with both parties trying to find their footing and assert their needs. Ultimately, the singer seems resigned to their fate, accepting that they are stuck with each other and will have to face whatever challenges come their way.
Overall, Kid Please Try Harder is a poignant and bittersweet song that captures the complexities and contradictions of love. It is a reminder that relationships are never easy, and that true commitment requires hard work and dedication.
