I Hate People
Jemina Pearl Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Another lonely night
I think if I'm lucky i'll get into a fight
I hate everything I see
It's a different city with the same old scene
A waste of space
Then what a suprise
Through the dull conversations and glazed over eyes
There you were in all your glory
I could tell that you wouldn't bore me

Oh I
I hate people
But I
I like you
Oh I
I hate people
And you
You do too

I was walking
Around wanting to die
Thought I wouldn't make it through the night if I try
But I saw you standing there
In your torn leather jacket and dark brown hair
You were different
From all the rest
my eyes saw only yours and that big mess
As I pushed past the people to get to you
I saw in your eyes that you already knew

Oh I
I hate people
But I
I like you
Oh I
I hate people
And you
You do too

I thought that we could get together
I thought that we could have some fun
Just the two of us
Alone together
Hating everyone!

Oh I
I hate people
But I
I like you
Oh I
I hate people




And you
You do too

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Jemina Pearl's song "I Hate People" convey feelings of loneliness, dislike for others, and hopelessness. The singer expresses a desire to find someone who is different and interesting, someone who understands her. She seems to have a bleak outlook on life and is tired of the same old scene in different cities. However, when she meets the person she likes, she sees a glimmer of hope and a possibility for escape from her loneliness.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I hate people" four times, emphasizing the singer's negative feelings towards society. However, the final line of the chorus reveals a contradiction to this sentiment, "But I like you". This suggests that the singer does not hate all people, just the general monotony and superficiality of the world around her. The person she likes is perhaps a symbol of hope for her to find someone who understands and shares her dislike for the status quo.


The verse "I thought that we could have some fun, just the two of us, alone together, hating everyone!" shows that the singer finds comfort in being with someone who shares her negative feelings about society. This could signify a type of bond formed through shared disdain for societal norms and expectations.
