“Twice as Hard” seems to have Banks reminiscing about past events which have occurred throughout his life. Mainly his relationships, mistakes, creations, and so forth.
This is also the closer for El Pintor. The chorus seems to carry a somewhat sexual undertone as it may contain a double meaning.
[Verse 1]
There were days of no surprise on the wing
When nobody cared but you
Outright we tried to feel a salvation
The proof of it was always you, boo
[Verse 2]
If these times should signify my mistakes
Please give me power
These are all of my creations
Leaving me disavowed
[Chorus]
Twice as hard
Twice as hard
I give it right back to you
I give it right back to you (twice as hard)
Twice as hard
[Verse 3]
I relied on fewer lies to let you in
Become my lover
So with all of my relations
One caves in on the other
[Chorus]
Twice as hard
Twice as hard
I give it right back to you
I give it right back to you (twice as hard)
Twice as hard
[Bridge]
All those nights of many lights fall away
Following beautiful hours
These are all of my creations
Veering me now towards you
[Chorus]
Twice as hard
Twice as hard
I give it right back to you
I give it right back to you (twice as hard)
Twice as hard
[Outro]
Twice as hard
Twice as hard
Twice as hard
Twice as hard
Twice as hard (twice as hard)
Twice as hard (twice as hard)
Twice as hard (twice as hard)
