Everything Hates
13 Faces Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clearing away
Nothing you save breaks the skin
Just another fucking rash
Crawling away
Think I can drown
Tried the door, but we'll never leave
Christ, how will we grow
Don't they know that their blocking me in
Killing the way
Nothing of self
This disease is just bringing me down
Everything Hates
Damage
No one to thank
Nothing to break
Don't you see that your making me sick
Nothing to play
No one can see
Just how low that you're bringing me
Shit
Here on your own
Nothing to praise
Knowing away at knees
Breaking your fist
Breaking your bones
Try the door but they never leave
Everything Hates
These lyrics are from the song "Everything Hates" by the band 13 Faces. The song expresses a feeling of hopelessness and despair as the singer tries to escape from a situation that appears to be suffocating them. The first verse talks about how the singer is trying to clear away some damage, but nothing seems to break through the metaphorical skin of the situation. They are left with just another rash, which seems to be crawling away at them, making it feel like they are drowning. The door seems to be closed to them, and they are left wondering how they will ever grow in such a stifling environment. They feel all alone, and no one seems to understand what's blocking them, making life more difficult. The disease of this environment is just bringing them down, making it hard for them to function.
The chorus of the song continues along the same vein, with the singer feeling like everything hates them. There's no one to thank, nothing to break, and they feel like they're getting sick because of the toxic situation they're in. There is nothing left to play, and no one seems to see the damage that's being done to them. It's a hopeless situation, and it feels like it's breaking them down to their knees. They're trying to escape, but the door never seems to open.
