Hate By Design
KILLSWITCH ENGAGE (USA) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Born into this world of hatred
We are born free
From the restraints of this society,
Helpless to what is instilled
(Yeah)
There is a time to separate,
From this
A reason why, a state of mind,
There's a disconnection
A judgement made
Fueled by hate, it's your mistake,
It's a choice you made
It's tearing us apart
Hate,
Hate by design,
Is destroying our lives
Seek to find,
Some understanding
Redefine your life
Consequence, effected
In a life that is rejected,
Anger misplaced
A burden on our hearts,
That's keeping us apart,
No love,
No understanding
What we design is hate inside,
A misconception,
A judgement made
(A judgement made)
It's our mistake,
We create,
When we lose compassion,
It's tearing us apart
Hate,
Hate by design,
(Hate by design)
Is destroying our lives
Seek to find
(We'll seek to find)
Some understanding,
Redefine your life
Redefine your understanding
Redefine your own life
Go!
Hate,
Hate by design,
(By design)
Is destroying our lives,
(Our lives)
Seek to find,
Some understanding
Redefine your life
The lyrics of "Hate By Design" by Killswitch Engage delve into the negative impact of hate and the need for individuals to redefine their lives and understanding. The song begins by recognizing that hatred is present in the world from the moment we are born, but we have the freedom to separate ourselves from it. The second stanza speaks to the fact that hate is a choice made by individuals and not an inherent characteristic. The consequences of hate are profound as it tears people apart and keeps them from understanding and loving each other.
The chorus drives home the message of the song. Hate that is designed intentionally destroys lives and the only way to combat it is by seeking understanding and redefining our own lives. The ending of the song emphasizes the need for individuals to redefine their understanding of hate and its effects on their lives.
Overall, "Hate By Design" is a poignant commentary on the negative consequences of hate and the need for redefinition of understanding and life.
