Odi Et Amo
Elizaveta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And kissed me in the street
I felt your arms around me
Like ground beneath my feet
You promised me forever
Your poems were so clever
I never saw your mask
I could not even see
It wasn't you who smiled right back at me
Odi Et Amo Odi Et Amo
Me Oscuros
I'm not afraid of darkness
That walks the city streets
Betrayel is the one thing that brings me to my knees
I thought you were an angel
My rescue from this hell
The devil was an actor who played his part too well
You vanished in the shadows
And suddenly I knew
That I would give my life to be with you
Odi Et Amo, Odi Et Amo
Me Oscuros
Odi Et Amo, Odi ET Amo
I don't mean to leave it up to fate
Love is just another side of hate
It's flowing through my veins
It burns me from within
The line between a lover and enemy's grown thin
Too late for the sinner to be saved
Your heart is the mystery I craved
You're pushing me too far
You've brought me to my knees
When pain becomes to pleasure
And torture feels like bliss
Odi et amo, Odi et amo
Me Oscuros
Odi et amo, Odi et amo
The song Odi Et Amo by Elizaveta is about the confusion and hurt that comes with being in love with someone who betrays you. The lyrics describe the singer’s experience of falling in love with someone who seemed perfect, but who turned out to be wearing a mask. The person’s poems and promises of forever were all just part of an act. When the singer tries to find the person, they disappear into the shadows, leaving the singer feeling lost and broken.
The Latin phrase “Odi Et Amo” (which translates to “I hate and I love”) is used throughout the song as a way of articulating the complicated feelings that come with being in love with someone who has hurt you. The singer is torn between their love for this person and the pain they have caused them. They are not afraid of the darkness that comes with life, but it is this betrayal that has brought them to their knees.
Overall, the lyrics of this song are a powerful expression of the emotional turmoil that can come with being betrayed by someone you love. Through metaphor and language, Elizaveta captures the experience of feeling lost, confused, and hurt, and the struggle to reconcile those feelings with love.

You told me that you loved me
You said you loved me
And kissed me in the street
You kissed me in public
I felt your arms around me
I was embraced by your arms
Like ground beneath my feet
I felt secure and safe with you
You promised me forever
You made a commitment to me
Your poems were so clever
You had a talent for writing poetry
I never saw your mask
I didn't realize you were hiding your true self
You gave your heart so freely
You were open and vulnerable with me
I could not even see
I was blind to the truth
It wasn't you who smiled right back at me
The person I thought I knew wasn't who I thought they were
Odi Et Amo Odi Et Amo
I hate and love
Me Oscuros
I am in darkness
I'm not afraid of darkness
I am not scared of being alone
That walks the city streets
Even in the bustling city
Betrayel is the one thing that brings me to my knees
Being betrayed is the one thing that makes me weak
I thought you were an angel
I believed you were my savior
My rescue from this hell
You were my escape from pain
The devil was an actor who played his part too well
The person who hurt me was very convincing
You vanished in the shadows
You disappeared from my life
And suddenly I knew
In that moment, I realized
That I would give my life to be with you
I would do anything to be with you
I don't mean to leave it up to fate
I don't want to depend on chance
Love is just another side of hate
Love and hate are intertwined
It's flowing through my veins
It's consuming me
It burns me from within
It causes me intense pain
The line between a lover and enemy's grown thin
The distinction between friend and foe is blurred
Too late for the sinner to be saved
It's too late for the person who's done wrong to be redeemed
Your heart is the mystery I craved
I wanted to understand your true motivations
You're pushing me too far
You're testing my limits
You've brought me to my knees
You've made me feel weak and helpless
When pain becomes to pleasure
When pain becomes pleasurable
And torture feels like bliss
And torment is enjoyable
Odi et amo, Odi et amo
I hate and love
Me Oscuros
I am in darkness
Odi et amo, Odi et amo
I hate and love

You told me that you loved me
And kissed me in the street
I felt your arms around me
Like ground beneath my feet
You promised me forever
That wouldn’t have to ask
Your poems were so clever
I never saw your mask
You gave yourself so freely
I couldn’t even see
It wasn’t you, who smiled right back at me
Odi et amo, odi et amo
Meus carus hostilis
(my beloved enemy)
Odi et amo, Odi et amo
Ego exuro vobis
(I burn for you)
I’m not afraid of darkness that walks the city streets
Betrayal is the one thing
That brings me to my knees
I thought you were an angel
My rescue from this hell
But devil was an actor
Who played his part too well
You vanished in the shadows
And suddenly I knew
That I would give my life to be with you
Odi et amo, odi et amo

Meus carus hostilis
Odi et amo, Odi et amo
Ego exuro vobis.

The title is that of a short poem written by Catullus for his mistress Lesbia, around 65BC and is obviously (well to me at least) in Latin. It is generally referred to as Catullus 85
"Odi et amo. quare id faciam, fortasse requiris?
nescio, sed fieri sentio et excrucior."
which translates to
I hate and I love. Why do I do this, perhaps you ask?
I do not know, but I feel it happen and it is excruciating.

Your first stanza, missing the "I wouldn't have to ask" after "You promised me forever."

I showed my mom this and she was like "how in the hell does she hit those notes"
I love this song so much!!!

What a beautiful operatic tone with perfect spin and vibrato in the chorus. Well performed.
