‘Hardcore From The Heart’ starts with loss and ends with acceptance of the impossibility of achieving an ideal life, examining the imbalance that exists between the life lived and the ideal sought. It’s title is borrowed from the book by sexologist and essayist Annie Sprinkles to reflect the nuanced, emotional and introspective journey that Serrat pursues in her lyrics and music.

Lead single ‘Pictures’ illustrates the album’s rich textures and immersive atmospherics. “Pictures talks about disillusion and the failure of communication,” comments Serrat. “It's also a reminder of the amount of time we stupidly waste on trivial details. That idea of 'perfection never comes' is that you are better off just living your life because things can always go wrong. Tables turn in the blink of an eye. So putting off things while waiting for the right time to do them kills me. 

“The song takes place in Montréal and it's about a broken promise. It was inspired by the fact I didn't let myself be angry with that disappointment. I built a wall and let my frustration and sadness grow in this space but never expressed it. That took a toll on me and by the time I realized it, it was too late.”

Mercy

I went and moved up North
And our song stopped playing on the radio
Bittersweet, kick in the teeth, kind of way to go 
Teenage tales written in late night texts
And washed out polaroids

Could it be that I’m getting older?
It’s just too fast to make my mind up
Can we stay here for just a moment?
I’ll meet you there when I feel bold enough 
If I feel bold enough

There’s tales of yours I’ll never hear
I guess comfort comes with being near
And I know I’m passive to my fears
But doesn’t fight just end in tears?

Will I still feel this when I’m older?
Or dust the doubt off of my shoulders?
It’s funny how you have the space to grow 
But I left myself at home

Could it be that I’m getting older?
It’s just too fast to make my mind up
Can we stay here for just a moment?
I’ll meet you there when I feel bold enough 
If I feel bold enough

The home that felt our kicks and scrapes
Pure love and shame
Tears, thrill and rage
The friends you’ve loved
Gone separate ways
From a street, to a train, to a thought away 
Bright eyes, your name, I'm lost on the way 
To write a life worth living,
Or just a page

Could it be that I’m getting older?
It’s just too fast to make my mind up
Can we stay here for just a moment?
I’ll meet you there when I feel bold enough 
If I feel bold enough
