Hard Reality

Coaltar Of The Deepers' song "Hard Reality" delves into the emotional turbulence and existential struggles that come with facing life's harsh truths. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of someone grappling with the disillusionment that follows deceit and unmet expectations. The opening lines, "When they lying to you, well it just end a smile," suggest a facade of happiness masking deeper pain. This sets the stage for a journey through introspection and the quest for genuine connection, as indicated by the lines, "Whisper to make me smile, I couldn't hear you too well."

The recurring theme of "Hard reality" serves as a stark reminder of the unavoidable truths that one must confront. The chorus, with its plea to "find me a place, to fade away," reflects a desire to escape the burdens of reality, even if momentarily. This yearning for a return to simpler times, as expressed in "oh I really want to go back to the time," underscores a common human longing for the past when life seemed less complicated and more manageable.

As the song progresses, the narrator's struggle becomes more evident. The lines, "Why is it like this, I didn't think you'd care," and "I had tricked myself, now I want to life," reveal a sense of betrayal and self-deception. Yet, there is a glimmer of resilience in the repeated assertion, "I'm never changing my mind." This determination to face reality head-on, despite its challenges, is a testament to the human spirit's capacity for growth and adaptation. The closing lines, "now I can just take it from here," signify a newfound acceptance and readiness to move forward, embracing the hard reality with a sense of resolve.
