The song "He Went To Jared" by HARDY tells the story of a man who lost his love to someone with more money and status. The protagonist reflects on his own modest lifestyle and compares it to his ex-girlfriend's new life with her wealthy partner. The shoebox full of money in the closet symbolizes his hard work and dedication to his job, while the Chicken Scratch notepad represents the things he planned to do for his girlfriend before she called it off. The lyrics then shift to the wedding preparations of the ex-girlfriend and her new partner, with the protagonist feeling left out and forgotten. The contrast between Ole Miss and hard work represents the different paths the two men took in life. One went to college and found success in business, while the other worked hard but did not achieve the same level of financial success. The clean-cut image of the rival is compared to the protagonist's rough and rugged appearance. Despite feeling sad about losing his love, the protagonist finds solace in his own ceremony at the neon-lit bar with his best man Jack. He imagines himself leaving the wedding in a yellow cab while his ex-girlfriend and her new partner fly to Saint Lucia. However, the song ends with the protagonist realizing he is not interested in the same sex as his rival. Overall, "He Went To Jared" is a song about lost love and the struggles of comparing oneself to others who have achieved more success. It also touches on the theme of self-acceptance and finding happiness in one's own way of life.
