I Hate Everything
Just Nick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One, two, three, four

I met a girl tonight
she had a forty in her left
and a smoke in her right

She told me about all these folk-punk kids
in Tennessee,
while they all come help me burn the city
then we can finally be free.
She's looking at me like I'm crazy

She asked me my name,
I said, "Hey, I'm Nick",
I asked her name too, but I can't remember it.
And that kinda makes me sick
It makes me wanna blame everything

I wanna blame that forty ounce on whatever you're smoking

Now I don't use the Lord's name in vain a lot,
but when I do it's the only goddamn thing that he's good for.
And I don't go to parties and I don't smoke pot,
but when I do it's the only goddamn thing that I regret.

We were making out in bed,
She moaned, "Oh god!"
And I moaned, "God is dead."
She said, "Hey man, what's your problem?!"
"I'm sorry girl, I hate everything."
I hate the system and how I can't remember your name.

Now I don't use the Lord's name in vain a lot,
but when I do it's the only goddamn thing that he's good for.
And I don't go to parties and get drunk a lot,
but when I do it's the only goddamn thing that I regret.

Now I don't use the Lord's name in vain a lot,
but when I do it's the only goddamn thing that he's good for.




And I don't go to parties and I don't smoke pot,
but when I do it's the only goddamn thing that I regret.

Overall Meaning

The song "I Hate Everything" by Just Nick narrates a story about meeting a girl who had a forty in her left and a smoke in her right. As they talk, the girl tells him about the folk-punk kids in Tennessee and invites him to help burn the city so they can all finally be free. However, the singer feels like he is crazy for listening to her. He introduces himself, but he can't remember the girl's name, which makes him sick and want to blame everything. The chorus of the song centers around him faulting the forty ounce and whatever the girl is smoking for his forgetfulness.


Later in the song, the singer talks about being in bed with the girl, and when she moans, "Oh god!" he responds, "God is dead." When the girl takes offense to his comment, he blames it on his overall hatred for everything, including the system and his inability to remember her name. The chorus repeats with the same themes of blaming things for his actions and regretting the things he does.


Overall, the song seems to be conveying a sense of hopelessness and frustration with the way things are, including the singer's own shortcomings, and an inability to fully connect with or remember those around him.
