Hard To See

"It's about seemingly irresolvable differences. It's valid in just about any setting: politics, religion, relationships… Everything is 'only an opinion' based on limited information, yet people sometimes get attached to their point of views to the extreme…in fact, to the point they would launch wars over them." -- Zoltan Bathory

It's official, it wasn't a fluke. 5FDP kick serious ass!!

this song is so amazing i can not wait for the new album, its gonna be way better than way of the fist

Guitarist Zoltan Bathory said of this brooding track in publicity materials: "It's about seemingly irresolvable differences. It's valid in just about any setting: politics, religion, relationships… Everything is 'only an opinion' based on limited information, yet people sometimes get attached to their point of views to the extreme… in fact, to the point they would launch wars over them."

Bathory explained to Metal Hammer why this was chosen as the first single: "This one was our original choice to open the album, and now of course it's the first single & video. It was maybe the seventh or eighth song that we recorded, and it was pretty obvious that it should be the first single. Y'know, radio is pretty conservative here in the States so I guess we could have led with one of the slower, more obviously cross-over tracks, but that's really a path we didn't want to go down, to launch our campaign with a slow song… Actually, it's something of a miracle that radio plays our music at all — I mean, 'The Bleeding', which had huge exposure here, isn't exactly a ballad, but it made a powerful statement both musically and lyrically, and I think 'Hard To See' is the same… a wolf in sheep's clothing!"

This song's kinda hard to explain for me, maybe thats cause the lines are few, and it keeps repeating the same stances. But I think it's about a relationship of some kind (love-friendship-politics) where one tries to be different than the other, and this choice is so clear that he cant even explain why their point of views are so different. So he says "i cant see your point of view, its so hard for me to accept it".

So, to me it's super easy. Ivan feels like no one understands him, or it may be the vice versa, and he may feel like everyone's point of view on things are total crap. In other words, he doesn't much agree with things.

badass song... all these people who say this new album won't be as hard need to hear the rest of the released songs and the album before making such ignorant comments

The new album is gonna be sick nasty.

FFDP has outdone themselves. Are the lyrics simplistic and sometimes cliched? Yes. Is that a bad thing? No.

Is the music, all of it, awesome?

Ohhhhh yeah.

not hard enough? to soft? listen to something else... 5fdp is here to stay bitches!
