Hard to Believe
Hunny Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

blue eyes took on the kid last night
up to no good
eraser like, replacer like
let's do it again

didn't see it coming
took the long way home
blue eyes don't fade

two in pictures don't say what can't be seen
the tallest rose, wait and see

it's not hard to believe, eraser,
even colors bleed
it's not hard to believe, replacer,
a way to pull the stripes from off the sleeve

a mis-step, a wrong word
eraser, replacer
with a sense of self reflection,
he rode into the sun

how could he see it coming
took the long way home
don't want to watch those blue eyes fade

Overall Meaning

In Hunny's song "Hard to Believe," the lyrics seem to describe a violent encounter between the singer and someone with blue eyes. The lines, "blue eyes took on the kid last night, up to no good," suggest a physical altercation. The use of the words "eraser like" and "replacer like" implies that the singer feels that this person is trying to erase or replace him in some way. Despite this, the singer seems willing to engage with this person again, saying "let's do it again."


The second verse seems to be more introspective, with the singer reflecting on the encounter and his own actions. The line, "two in pictures don't say what can't be seen" suggests that things are not always as they seem. The "tallest rose" could be interpreted as symbolizing something that is beautiful on the surface but has thorns underneath. Despite this realization, the singer still finds it hard to believe that this person would harm him, saying "it's not hard to believe, eraser, even colors bleed."


The final verse seems to bookend the song, with the singer once again reflecting on the encounter and his own mortality. The line, "with a sense of self reflection, he rode into the sun" suggests that the singer has come to understand something about himself as a result of the encounter. The song ends with the repeated refrain of "don't want to watch those blue eyes fade," which could be interpreted as a desire to preserve something precious and avoid further conflict.
