Hate
Contagion Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fluid motions
Liquid dreams
Release of sanity
In silenced screams

Fading whispers
Shattered dreams
Wasted memories

In tortured screams

Hate kills the mind
Fears tears the soul
Release the flesh
Resist control

Inside your hell
Trapped in your soul
You lose your mind
Lose all control

Drowning visions
Tide of fate
Trapped in an ocean
Of endless rage

Blind allegiance
Mindless face
Battered pleasures
Mindless hate

Hate kills the mind
Fear tears the soul
Release the flesh
Resist control

Inside your hell
Trapped in your soul
You lose your mind
Lose all control

Like I knew you would
Just like you did before
And I know you will...

Sea of anguish
Washed away
Exploited pleasures
As flesh decays

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Contagion's song "Hate" are full of visual imagery and emotion. The first stanza describes a release of sanity through "fluid motions" and "liquid dreams." In contrast, the second stanza talks about the pain and shattered dreams inherent in "wasted memories" and "tortured screams." Throughout the song, there is a theme of losing control, either through hatred or fear, and being trapped in one's own hellish soul.

The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Hate kills the mind, fear tears the soul." This statement is a reminder that harboring hatred or fear can be destructive for one's mental and emotional well-being. The chorus then sings, "release the flesh, resist control" which could be interpreted as a call to let go of those negative emotions and take control of one's own life.

The final stanza of the song uses the metaphor of being trapped in an ocean of endless rage. The line "trapped in your soul, you lose your mind, lose all control" is a powerful image of someone who has become overwhelmed by their own negative emotions.

Overall, "Hate" is a song about the dangers of negative emotions and the importance of taking control of one's own life before it is too late.
