Discover the story of the song > Far Too Hard – Dead or Alive

The protagonist is a young person who is obsessed with their own appearance and spends a lot of time looking in the mirror. They know it's not healthy to be so self-absorbed, but they can't help it. They feel bad about it but they don't want to apologize because it's too difficult. The song warns that it's dangerous to be too obsessed with oneself, especially for men, who should never make it with their own reflections (presumably, a reference to the Greek myth of Narcissus).
