      Its a goofy song for most of us...but for emo girls the word kill is in the name and there is reverb...so its romantic.

    I love how “I should be harder to kill” feels like a more inspirational statement as a song progresses.
    You go from seeking them out and them “killing you” to recognizing they shouldn’t have that power over you.

      For example in my place "I should be harder to kill" can mean i should not get "i
      infatuated" so fast and it fits soo good to the rest of the song

    • @jaydapeters207
      @jaydapeters207 5 місяців тому +3

      So true 😅, I also interpret the statement "I should be harder to kill" as the memory of the speaker as well as the affection should have been harder for the subject to get rid off, following through with this statement, the speaker could be seen to have been 'living' through the affection and memory of the subject and dependent on them.

Thanks Carter. Keep making people smile and feel good. This town ain't big enough for two.

    My life has been changing drastically (maybe not for the better but who knows). A couple of enormous disappointments have left me completely defeated. Like not wanting to crawl out of bed, can't face anyone I love, feel like I'm being abandoned, type of defeat. I thought I was stronger than this. I really thought I was harder to kill. Turns out I'm not an indestructible cockroach, I'm a tiny jelly filled caterpillar easily missed, easily stepped on.
    Man, I thought I was harder to kill.
    I think I'll take up karate.

      Dying is actually really difficult, believe me, I know from experience.
      As long as you have a moment, spend it on what makes you happy. Don't just feel better. Don't just get used to feeling shitty. Try to spend your time as best as you can, and I hope, for everyone, it gets better.
      It's hard for everyone right now. Things are tough all over.

      Learn Karate, buy yourself a Toyota Corolla if you don't already drive one, learn how to hog tie.
      These are skills that will help you immensely when the aliens invade!
      In seriousness, it's hard as hell, but keep going forward. Take this from someone who was emotionally dead for years. It's not easy to see the way forward and get better, but I did it.
      If I could survive and eventually find my happiness, anyone can. It takes time though, so don't rush it.
