Discover the story of the song > Art Is Hard – Cursive

The protagonist sings about how he is tired of creating music that reflects his own pain because people are catching on to the routine. He talks about how artists have to keep failing and trying again in order to make it, and how repetition leads to success but also to the same old music. He encourages himself and other artists to impersonate others and immerse themselves in rejection in order to create more meaningful and successful art.
