Unhateable
Dead by April Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We used to be Unbreakeable,
(So i draw me on yourself),
Love is Undeniable,
Free from all the lies,
Still I miss your crystal eyes,
(You are so Unhateable),
Forget our past,
What have you done to me,
Don't leave me here,
Look what you've done to me,
Don't leave me here,
(You set my heart and soul on fire),
That seemed so Impossible,
(You've always been my one desire),
You're making me Invisible,
Free from all these lies,
Still I miss your angel eyes,
(You are so Unhateable),
Til' the end,
Forget our past,
What have you done to me,
Don't leave me here,
Look what you've done to me,
Don't leave me here,
(Moving down),
(Clear your mind),
(Now try to dig it out),
(so long),
(Realize),
(What you forgot about),
Til' the end,
(Deep inside),
(You know that we),
(are next to be),
(As one),
(You lied),
(To life again),
Til' the end,
Forget our past,
What have you done to me,
Don't leave me here,
Look what you've done to me,
Don't leave me here,
What have you done to me,
We were Unbreakable,
Undeniable,
Look what you've done to me,
We were Unbreakable,
Undeniable.
The lyrics of Dead by April’s song "Unhateable" are about a relationship that has ended and the singer’s unresolved feelings towards their former partner. The opening line of the song reveals that the singer’s own inner thoughts and emotions are "ranting down" on them, suggesting that they are struggling with the memory of the relationship’s past. The paradox of the line "We used to be Unbreakable" immediately following this could suggest that the relationship may have been emotionally heightened and intense or that the singer believed their connection to be unbreakable, but in reality, it was not. The repetition of the phrase "What have you done to me" throughout the song emphasises the sense of loss and confusion that the singer feels.
The chorus also highlights the dichotomy of the relationship. The singer misses their former partner and describes their love as "undeniable," but they are also "free from all the lies" and urge themselves to forget their past. The word "Unhateable" in the title and chorus could mean that the singer still holds love towards their former partner and cannot bring themselves to hate them, no matter what has happened. However, the line "You're making me Invisible" suggests that the singer feels unseen and unheard, contributing to their overall sense of confusion and loss.
