Hate Me Lyrics

Performed by Blue October
Review The Song (191)

(Verse 1)
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 porno 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 loved me just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space

(Chorus 1)
Hate me today.
Hate me tomorrow.
Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you.
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow.
Hate me so you can finaly see what's good for you.


(Verse 2)
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 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

(Chorus)
Hate me today.
Hate me tomorrow.
Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you.
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow.
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you.

(Verse 3)
And with a sad heart I 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 fell down yelling "Make it go away!"
Just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered "How can you do this to me?"

(Chorus)
Hate me today.
Hate me tomorrow.
Hate me for all the things i didn't do for you.
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow.
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you.
For you.
For you.
For you.

She deserves better... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/15/12

Well.. this song has alot of personal meaning to me. I'm not a saint I can claim that... And yes I've done horrible subtances :/ I still have the most amazing girl in my life.... I ran, Drove, flew everywhere i could... but She still wanted me and wanted to help me, I swear, She deserves so much better than I have been, But she's my reason I've gone clean... I love her so much....

I have a very personal meaning about this song,I see it as a friend who I tried to talk out of his addictions and keep him talking through his problems so he didnt try anything stupid again.
Time and time again he turned against me.
I stayed with him online and I love him.

Ear of the Beholder | Reviewer: Krista | 12/22/11

I've read enough posts claiming that the song means this or that. The fact is that it will have different meanings for everyone. Music is art, and as such it is subject to the interpretation of the beholder.

+things arent wat they seem+ | Reviewer: Adryan Liancoure | 11/9/11

ya'll aren't getting this the way its supposed to be gotten. it's not a song about his messed up mom relationship. but its not a "i'm sorry we're over" thing either. Justin has answered this question in interviews. His answers now tend to be vague because he doesn't want to force an interpretation on anyone, but when the album was new he was much more specific. He wrote this song originally about his ex-girlfriend. It was written to be a "please move on" song to her because he knew she was better off without him and the drunken rages. When he was working on the song he got the voice-mail from his mom that you hear at the beginning, and realized that he had a lot more people to apologize to than just his ex, so he re-interpreted it as an apology to everyone that he'd put through hard times, including both his ex and his mom especially. but his moms not a big thing in this. she was basically just there to show how screwed up he'd gotten by telling him he needed to take his medicine and that she was really worried about him.

truth of this* | Reviewer: destini | 11/9/11

hey, i dont think any of you really get this, even those of you who THINK you do. this is not a song about a guy and his messed up relationship with his mom. but its not just a heart-broken song either. its about a guy who was an alcoholic and beat his girl when he went into rages. the only thing it has to do with his mom is that she calls him at the beginning of the song cause she was worried and hadnt heard from him in a while and wanted to tell him that she loved him and to remind him that he needs to take his meds.

Dear "I Dont Have Anything" | Reviewer: destini | 11/9/11

wow thats pretty deep. you sound really poetic in a dark sorta way. i love that. melissa must've been a great chick. i dont even know how this song relates to your SITUATION, but i can see how it relates to your emotions on her subject. just know that if she HAS moved on, then the two of you just werent meant to be, and you'll move on too eventually. good luck. :) i hope you find the peace of mind you need to realize this song isnt about you, and that you're better than how this obvious guilt makes you see yourself.

Son and Mom | Reviewer: Carol | 9/14/11

I was asked to listen to this song by someone very special, that not only understands it because she sees her mom going thru this, but knows the heartaches I am enduring with both my sons-- we can only hope and pray that better days are coming, and positive energy flows. Only a mother and son going thru these times, understands these lyrics- and understands it with their heart and soul. This IS NOT about boyfriend/girlfriend heartaches-- ITS ABOUT A SON AND HIS MOM...

Hate Me... | Reviewer: ♥Happy-Meal♥ | 5/23/11


I dedicated this song to my mom. I love her very much, and it's hard to belive she's still there for me after all I've done. I can honestly say that I'm not the best daughter, and sometimes I wonder why she won't just leave me. I don't deserve her, but I love her for she'll always be my mom :)

N/A | Reviewer: That one guy | 3/4/11

K listen up everybody who chooses to read this...I really think that everybody that is taking this song and putting it to a "significant other" story...it isn't about that at all!!! This is about a relationship torn apart between a son and his mother!!! Truly though I am sorry for everyone that has posted such sad stories about your relationships (or lack thereof) truly I am..but God's honest truth GET OVER IT!!!! Heartbrakes WILL (like it or not) happen to you, sorry if I just ruined somebody's positive outlook on life. BUT HEY GOD LOVES YOU

Emily Day | Reviewer: Anna | 1/24/11

Hey jonathan peters you told me this song was about you and how you broke up with me well sorry to say but its not you are just a pathetic person who can't get over me well it's your fault that you listen to what people say if you didn't listen to what people say we would probaly still be together actually i'm kinda glad you broke up with me because I really kinda like Nathan better and I'm glad he asked me out and I know that he won't dump me when i need him most like you did and don't take it out on me or Nathan because its not our fault that you broke up with me okay and this not a good break up song this a pathetic and gay

P.S I Love You..still | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/13/10

I wish you really knew how much you made me feel like home. I miss your face & your voice more than anything. I cant be with anyone else..Your face haunts me whereever I go..& the music you sing will echo in my heart for eternity.
I love you, I will always love you.
I hope the best for you & pray one day you really know how much you mean/meant to me.
<3


I Don't Have Anything | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/3/10

I miss you, Melissa. Missing you still. Watching the top of your building from my window wishing I could see in your door from here. Have you moved on? Do you think of me? I inhale your smell and exhale your name, every breath, every day, every minute and I miss you, I miss you, I miss you. Think of me when you listen to Blue October.

TO HAYLEY:: | Reviewer: Panda | 10/27/10

Thanks for the sad story about self pity and stupid teenagers. You could've at least used proper English. I understand guilt and sorrow, but why would this song fit you? According to you, you never did anything wrong; it was your boyfriend's fault for selling weed in the first place. It's not your fault, stop letting it drag you down. Move on, he's not worth your time, acceptance or care.

-Couldn't Think Of a Title- | Reviewer: Rein | 10/27/10

It's not distorting, technically, the words in the song could fit a lover or a friend or even a sibling. It's not that big of a deal.
We've all made mistakes, we've all hurt ourselves and others. All of us feel like this sometimes, it's normal. Just remember to never forget that special person and to never erase their memory. But also remember that you've moved on and you must find someone anew.
