Hate Edge
Anti-Heros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

From dawn to dusk I pound the earth, Looking for meaning to give live its worth
But what I love just tastes like shit, And I wonder how stupid can you get
The more I see the less I get, My life smoulders out like a cigarette
The more I need, the less I want, I want to live but I know I won't
Roses are red and violets are blue, Money is green and I hate you
Humans are humans but their blood is so red, I'm gonna put a bullet through my head

(Chorus)
{Hate edge, hate edge, I hate you, Hate edge, hate edge I hate you too. Hate Edge}

No one understands anything till its dead, Under the human lampshade they'll never shed
You'll never know what its like not to be shunned, I think you're all fucking scum
Watching dead bodies on the news, saw my friends burned up like jews
Spilt my soul for what it would bring, But now I hate everything
Ashes are ashes and dust is dust, Fuck each other with your power lust
Humans are humans but their blood is so red, I'm gonna put a bullet through my head





(Chorus)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Anti-Heros's song "Hate Edge" depict a feeling of frustration and disgust with the world and those living in it. The singer is searching for meaning in their own life, but everything they love seems worthless and unfulfilling. They become disillusioned with society and people, expressing a desire to end their own life and escape the pain.


In the chorus, the singer directs their hatred towards others, using the term "hate edge" to describe the intensity of their negative feelings. They believe that no one can truly understand anything until it's too late, and that people are quick to judge and shun others who are different. The use of the term "human lampshade" suggests a reference to the Holocaust and the horrific actions of extremist groups.


The final verse reveals the singer's past trauma, having witnessed friends burned alive. They feel like they have given everything but received nothing in return, leading to a hatred of those in power and society as a whole. The song is a commentary on the struggles of finding purpose and meaning in a world that often seems cruel and heartless.


Line by Line Meaning

From dawn to dusk I pound the earth, Looking for meaning to give life its worth
I spend my days searching for a reason to live, but I haven't found anything yet.


But what I love just tastes like shit, And I wonder how stupid can you get
The things I once enjoyed don't bring me happiness anymore, and I don't understand why people continue to pursue them.


The more I see the less I get, My life smoulders out like a cigarette
Despite my efforts, my life feels unfulfilling and slowly fading away.


The more I need, the less I want, I want to live but I know I won't
The more I seek, the less satisfied I become, and I doubt I'll ever find a reason to keep going.


Roses are red and violets are blue, Money is green and I hate you
I resent the fact that society values material wealth more than human connection and empathy.


Humans are humans but their blood is so red, I'm gonna put a bullet through my head
Despite being human like everyone else, I feel extreme self-hatred and consider suicide as a way out.


No one understands anything till it's dead, Under the human lampshade they'll never shed
People often don't appreciate the value of something until it's gone, and they won't recognize their own cruelty until it's too late.


You'll never know what it's like not to be shunned, I think you're all fucking scum
I feel like an outcast and despise society for ostracizing people who are different than the norm.


Watching dead bodies on the news, saw my friends burned up like jews
The horrors of the world and personal tragedies have left me traumatized and disillusioned.


Spilt my soul for what it would bring, But now I hate everything
I've sacrificed a lot in hopes of finding happiness, but instead, I feel disdain for everything around me.


Ashes are ashes and dust is dust, Fuck each other with your power lust
In the grand scheme of things, our earthly accomplishments and pursuits are meaningless, and I condemn those who crave power and control over others.


Humans are humans, but their blood is so red, I'm gonna put a bullet through my head
I reiterate my loathing for humanity and return to the idea of suicide as a desirable option.
