Hate Me
Baauer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You told me that's bad luck
To make myself clearer
I just don't give a fuck
I push you to your limit
So many times that I can't keep count
But all I wanna do is
Keep you around
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What I'm doin'
But I don't
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
What I'm doin'
'Cause the way you hate me
Hate me, hate me
That it makes me
Makes me, makes me
Really want ya
Want ya, want ya
When you hate me
Hate me
I press all your buttons
Just so I can rip them off
It's not an assumption
I know it's all my fault
Tried meditation for breakfast
But it didn't do much for me
'Cause my hunger is reckless
For something crazy
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
What I'm doin'
But I don't
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
What I'm doin'
'Cause the way you hate me
Hate me, hate me
That it makes me
Makes me, makes me
Really want ya
Want ya, want ya
When you hate me
Hate me
Hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me
That it makes me
Makes me, makes me, makes me, makes me
Really want ya
Want ya, want ya, want ya, want ya, want ya
Make me
'Cause the way you hate me
Hate me, hate me
That it makes me
Makes me, makes me
Really want ya
Want ya, want ya
When you hate me
Hate me
In Baauer's song "Hate Me," the artist is struggling with self-awareness and self-control. The first verse conveys a sense of apathy and disregard for consequences. The singer indulges in destructive behavior, throwing a glass at a mirror, despite being cautioned that it's bad luck. They seem unable to restrain themselves and have pushed the person they're addressing to their limits countless times. However, despite their reckless behavior, the singer is desperate to keep this person in their life.
In the second verse, the singer continues to admit their faults and recklessness. They actively press the other person's buttons and take pleasure in their seemingly unpredictable behavior. The singer reveals their attempts at self-improvement, trying meditation for breakfast, but they're unable to control their hunger for something "crazy." The chorus repeats the phrase, "the way you hate me," suggesting that this negative emotion is what draws them back to this person. Despite the toxic behavior, the singer wants the other person to stay around.
Overall, "Hate Me" depicts a volatile and destructive relationship, haunted by the singer's inability to control their behavior. They actively seek out chaos and seem to be drawn to their partner's animosity. The song conveys themes of self-destruction, addiction, and codependency.

To make myself clearer
To emphasize my point of view more strongly
I just don't give a fuck
I don't care about the consequences of my actions
I push you to your limit
I test your capacity and patience by challenging you consistently
So many times that I can't keep count
I have repeated it so frequently that I have lost track of it
But all I wanna do is
However, my real intention is
Keep you around
To have you close to me despite your hate for me
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know
I am unsure, uncertain and ignorant
What I'm doin'
Of what I am doing
But I don't
But it doesn't matter
Yeah I know, yeah I know, yeah I know
I am aware, informed, and conscious
What I'm doin'

That it makes me

Really want ya

Want ya, want ya
I crave for your attention
When you hate me
Despite your hatred towards me

Just so I can rip them off
Only to deliberately dismantle and destroy them later on
It's not an assumption
It's not a baseless hypothesis, but a learned conclusion
I know it's all my fault
I am aware that it is solely my mistake and wrongdoing
Tried meditation for breakfast
I attempted to calm my thoughts and emotions using meditation first thing in the day
But it didn't do much for me
Unfortunately, it wasn't very effective for me
'Cause my hunger is reckless
Since my appetite or craving is irrational, illogical and potentially dangerous
For something crazy
For something wild, extreme or unconventional
Hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me, hate me
Your increasing hatred towards me
That it makes me
It stimulates or provokes me
Makes me, makes me, makes me, makes me
Repetitively triggers me or provokes me
Really want ya
I have a strong desire for you
Want ya, want ya, want ya, want ya, want ya
I long for your attention and affection
Make me
It causes me to feel
