| Ok, so this is what the thread is all about: - Find a song an analyze it. - Find a "message"/the meaning of the song and write it down here. Example: Crossfade - Colors About someone who suddenly changed his/hers appearance. Thats a really short explanation, but i hope you understand it. If not, listen too Colors. Then you will understand. | |

| Hate Me by Blue October Lyrics - Spoiler:
Mother: "Hi Justin! This is your mother it is 2:33 on Monday afternoon. I was just calling to see how you were doing. You sounded really uptight last night, it made me a little nervous, and a little, well it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous too. I just want to make sure you are really okay and wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication. You know I love ya. Take care honey, I know you're under a lot of pressure. See ya. Bye Bye!"
I have to block out thoughts of you So I don't lose my head They crawl in like a cockroach Leaving babies in my bed Dropping little reels of tape To remind me that I'm alone Playing movies in my head That make a ***** feel like home There's a burning in my pride A nervous bleeding in my brain An ounce of peace is all I want for you Will you never call again? And will you never say that you love me Just to put it in my face? And will you never try to reach me it is I that wanted this
Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you
I'm sober now for 3 whole months It's one accomplishment that you helped me with The one thing that always tore us apart Is the one thing that I won't touch again In a sick way I want to thank you For holding my head up late at night While I was busy waging wars on myself You were trying to stop the fight You never doubted my warped opinions On things like suicidal hate You made me compliment myself When it was way too hard to take So I'll drive so fucking far away That I'll never cross your mind And do whatever it takes in your heart To leave me behind
Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you
And when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave Kicking shadows on the street For every mistake that I have made And like a baby boy I never was a man Until I saw your blue eyes cry And I held your face in my hand And then I found out I can't make it go away Just make it stop Come back and shine just like it used to be And then she whispered: "How could you did this to me?"
Hate me today Hate me tomorrow Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow Hate me so you can finally see What's good for you, for you, for you, for you...
Meaning This song is about a break up. This girl is completely dedicated to this guy and she sincerely cares about him and loves him. After all his mistakes in life and his relationship with this girl he finally realizes it's time to give something back to her. He breaks up with her to show her the better life that she showed him. It hurts both of them deeply, but for once he's not being selfish. It may be hard, but this is a song about his love that he is now giving back to her. | |
