Too Hard
Mark McAdam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard.
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard.
I mean we could use a little straight on.
So don't get tangled up in all the pretty things you could choke on.
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard.
Well you just might
Get it just right
But that could take too long.
So I'll stand by all the things that I get wrong.
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard.
But do you ever let your guard down?
I mean do you ever just get turned on?
By something that's simple and easy and true
Cause I could use a little patience
I mean we could use a little straight on.
It's safe to say that you could lighten up a little and then some.
Floating on a sea of superiority doesn't suit you.
It only works to pollute you
Still I guess I salute you
For tryin'
But,
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard.
You make it too hard,
You make it too hard.
Well you just might
Get it just right
But that could take too long.
So I'll stand by all the things that I get wrong.
You made it too hard,
You made it too hard,
You made it too hard.
The mentioned song, "Too Hard" by Mark McAdam, talks about the complexity of a relationship the singer is going through. He addresses his partner and tells them that they are making things too complicated and hard to navigate. The repetition of the phrase "You make it too hard" emphasizes the frustration that the singer is feeling. He expresses that he wants comfort and simplicity in the relationship, but his partner is making it difficult by getting caught up in materialistic things that don't matter in the long run.
The singer asks his partner if they ever let their guard down, suggesting that they are always trying to maintain a certain image or reputation, causing them to miss out on genuine experiences. He also mentions that they could use a little patience, possibly suggesting that the partner is rushing things and not allowing their relationship to grow organically. The verse "Floating on a sea of superiority doesn't suit you. It only works to pollute you" suggests that the partner's ego is getting in the way of their relationship and they need to humble themselves to make it work.
In the end, the singer recognizes that they are not perfect and will make mistakes, but they will stand by them, unlike the partner who seems unwilling to compromise and make things work. The overall message of the song is that sometimes, keeping it simple and true is the key to improving and strengthening a relationship.
