I'm growing so distant
Nothing makes sense to me anymore
I'm learning to resist
Becoming more than you ever were
Can't explain, what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain, why it's so hard for me,
So hard to see your side.
Projecting all my anger
I can't seem to get this through to you
The walls are closing in
I dare you to walk in my shoes
Can't explain, what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain, why it's so hard for me,
So hard to see your side.
Your side,
I won't see your side
Can't explain, what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain, why its so hard for me,
So hard to see your side.
Can't explain, what's come over me (come over me)
Can't explain, why it's so hard for me,
So hard to see your side.
I won't see your side.

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!"
