Hard To Get

Piggy D.'s song "Hard To Get" delves into the emotional turmoil and self-deception of someone who presents themselves as elusive and unattainable, yet is deeply lonely and misunderstood. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who engages in superficial relationships, allowing others to see only a glimpse of their true self. The metaphor of a "black heart funeral home" suggests a place where love and hope go to die, emphasizing the emptiness and desperation that lie beneath the surface.

The song's protagonist is depicted as someone who blames their misery on others, refusing to take responsibility for their own actions. The lines "It's a shame you blame your misery / On everyone but you" highlight this denial and the resulting isolation. The repeated assertion that the person is "hard to get but not hard to get over" underscores the futility of their attempts to appear desirable and the ease with which others move on from them. This creates a poignant contrast between the protagonist's self-perception and the reality of their impact on others.

The chorus serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of this behavior, with the repeated refrain "Oh, you'll be the lonely one / Yeah, you're gonna miss me" driving home the inevitability of their solitude. The song ultimately suggests that true connection and fulfillment cannot be achieved through games and façades. The closing lines, "You gotta break these walls around you / You should have listened when I told you / It's too late, you gotta go," offer a final, somber note of resignation, urging the protagonist to change before it's too late.
