In October 2006 Hard Target toured with Universal Records signed artist Marpo, in Czech Republic. His song "Im Over It" was used on the movie soundtrack for a foreign film called "TSOT" www.tsot.fi. which was produced by www.helsinkifilmi.fi.

You cant classify this kids style, its up-beat one minute, and then the next minute he's making you think. He's HIM...just a kid with a dream and heart for music. You name the style, he's done it, but thats where his conflict comes into play. He's not mainstream enough, and not underground enough, so its like with whatever he does...its not accepted.
So he would like to brake it down very simple for all you new listeners or dis-likers of his music..."You dont like my music, or what I say...O THE FUCK WELL!! Either listen to it for what it is...Or turn it off...good-day"
Hard Target is Hard Target, nothing more, nothing less.

Tough Pill
Hard Target Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In plain sight i had started to see
You were walkin' away when i had started to leave
While i'm lookin' at initials that were carved in a tree
Or maybe i'm a sucker thinkin' we would turn around
Everything we love light a match and burn it down
I can smell the ashes while i'm searchin' thru the crowd
Tryna get my way back home but it's too late to work it out
That you already changed i hang up and i call it a-gain
You prolly moved on while i'm here still caught in the rain
Your heart's broke and i'm prolly to blame
It's kinda sad cause i know
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
So i open me another bottle
Knowin' damn well you won't follow
It hurts worse knowing you ain't comin' home
And that's a tough pill for me to swallow
You stole my heart and you ain't givin' it back
While this liquor tryna keep it intact
Got me clinging to a memory of us so i'm drinkin' it back
The deeper the cut, the steeper the glass
'Cause everything that's in this house remindin' me of you
It's so hard to be without you, thinkin' maybe i should move
Tryna pick up all the pieces but i'm running out of glue
Rather runnin' outta liquor i was running out on you
I've been waitin' all night for the bottom of this bottle
Dealing wit' reality i just can't swallow
It's hard to laugh with the crowd when you're the butt of the joke
In the game of love somethin always gets broke
And maybe i'm to blame
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
So i open me another bottle
Knowin' damn well you won't follow
It hurts worse knowing you're not comin' home
And that's a tough pill for me to swallow
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
So i open me another bottle
Knowin' damn well you won't follow
It hurts worse knowing you ain't comin' home
And that's a tough pill for me to swallow
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
On time i had to borrow
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
Is an even harder pill to swallow
So i open me another bottle
Knowin' damn well you won't follow
It hurts worse knowing you ain't comin' home
And that's a tough pill for me to swallow

Line by Line Meaning
It was all a dream or maybe you were talkin' to me
Uncertainty surrounds whether your role in my life was a dream or if you were present in reality
In plain sight i had started to see
I am beginning to fully understand our situation for what it is
You were walkin' away when i had started to leave
As I am beginning to move forward, I realize that you have already started to move on
While i'm lookin' at initials that were carved in a tree
Nostalgic memories of our past weigh heavily on my mind
Or maybe i'm a sucker thinkin' we would turn around
Perhaps I was foolish to believe that we would have a second chance
Everything we love light a match and burn it down
People often have a tendency to destroy the things they cherish the most
I can smell the ashes while i'm searchin' thru the crowd
In the aftermath of our relationship, remnants of what was lost still linger around me
Tryna get my way back home but it's too late to work it out
I am struggling to come to terms with the fact that our relationship is irreparable
While i'm tryna dial a number that i know
Despite knowing that you have moved on, I still find myself trying to contact you
That you already changed i hang up and i call it a-gain
Knowing that you have changed your number, I continue to call in a futile attempt to reach you
You prolly moved on while i'm here still caught in the rain
It is likely that you have already moved on while I am still lost in the aftermath of our relationship
Your heart's broke and i'm prolly to blame
I am aware that I played a part in causing the heartbreak that you are experiencing
It's kinda sad cause i know
The reality of the situation is disheartening to me
While i'm waitin' here for tomorrow
As I wait for the future to unfold
On time i had to borrow
I had to ask for more time in order to cope with the difficulties of life
And the fact that i know you're not comin' home
I have accepted that you will not be returning to me
Is an even harder pill to swallow
This acceptance is difficult to bear
So i open me another bottle
In an attempt to numb my pain and forget my sadness
Knowin' damn well you won't follow
I am aware that you will not be joining me
It hurts worse knowing you ain't comin' home
The fact that you will not be returning to me is a source of pain and suffering
You stole my heart and you ain't givin' it back
You have taken my love from me and refuse to return it
While this liquor tryna keep it intact
I turn to alcohol in a desperate attempt to hold onto what remains of our love
Got me clinging to a memory of us so i'm drinkin' it back
Drinking helps me to remember the happier times we shared together
The deeper the cut, the steeper the glass
The more pain I feel, the more I drink to try and soothe it
'Cause everything that's in this house remindin' me of you
Everything in my house serves as a constant reminder of the love that we once shared
It's so hard to be without you, thinkin' maybe i should move
I am finding it difficult to move on without you and am considering a change of scenery
Tryna pick up all the pieces but i'm running out of glue
My attempts to mend our broken relationship have proved to be unsuccessful
Rather runnin' outta liquor i was running out on you
I found it easier to run away from our relationship than to try and save it
I've been waitin' all night for the bottom of this bottle
I have been drinking all night, hoping to forget my heartache
Dealing wit' reality i just can't swallow
The truth of our situation is too difficult for me to accept
It's hard to laugh with the crowd when you're the butt of the joke
I find it hard to enjoy myself in social situations when I am the subject of ridicule
In the game of love somethin always gets broke
Relationships often end in pain and heartbreak
And maybe i'm to blame
Perhaps I am responsible for the failure of our relationship
