LoveHate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Get out of my way
Got a chip on my shoulder
Had a real bad day
Met a little girl
Just thirteen
She's a knock-down blue-eyed slut psycho-virgin tease
Let me touch your cookies--let me eat your cookies--now
Got some time
Won't go wrong
Sittin' on the sidewalk
Singing songs
Take my baby home
On the scene
Turns out she's a koochie-koochie-koochie
Rock queen, thirteen, buxom blonde, bad dream
Let me touch your cookies--let me eat your cookies
Rock queen, thirteen, buxom blonde, bad dream
Let me touch your cookies--let me eat your cookies--now
I'm tumblin', tumblin' round
I'm tumblin', my feet don't touch the ground
'Cause I got no, got no place to go
Maybe if I did I'd settle down my roots would grow
I'm a tumbleweed
I'm tumblin', tumblin' round
I'm tumblin', like a wind blowin' through your town
Got a sharp thorn sticking in my side
On this dusty road I'm goin' for a ride
I'm a tumbleweed
Tumbleweed bad seed
No one I need
Tumbleweed bad seed
Got a home on a ghost town highway
Ooh I'm a tumbleweed
I'm tumblin', tumblin' round
I'm tumblin', someday I will be gone
When I grow old, grow old and pass away
Just spread my ashes on a windy day
I'm a tumbleweed
Tumbleweed bad seed
No one I need
Tumbleweed bad seed
Got a home on a ghost town highway
'Cause I'm a tumbleweed
The lyrics to LoveHate’s song “Rock Queen” depict a man who has had a bad day, turning to wine to seek solace. He meets a young girl, only thirteen years old, who he describes as a “knock-down blue-eyed slut psycho-virgin tease”. The lyrics are disturbing and promote the sexualization of a child. He sings about wanting to touch and eat her “cookies”, which is a clear reference to sexual acts, and his desire to take her home. The lyrics demonstrate a complete disregard for the young girl’s well-being and agency.
The second half of the song shifts to the perspective of a “tumbleweed”, a plant that is free to roam and has no rooted home. The lyrics continue with the theme of aimlessness and lack of direction, with the tumbleweed being a metaphor for the singer’s own life. The chorus repeats the phrase “tumbleweed bad seed, no one I need”, implying a sense of loneliness and isolation. However, the use of the phrase “bad seed” is also concerning as it carries connotations of criminality and inferiors. Overall, the lyrics to “Rock Queen” promote inappropriate sexual behavior and objectification of young girls, while the second half of the song explores a sense of aimlessness and disconnection.

I got my wine
I am drinking wine to drown out my problems
Get out of my way
I am angry and don't want anyone to get in my way
Got a chip on my shoulder
I am offended and looking for a fight
Had a real bad day
I had a terrible day and it's made me upset
Met a little girl, Just thirteen
I met a young girl who is barely a teenager
She's a knock-down blue-eyed slut psycho-virgin tease
I am objectifying and demeaning this young girl
Rock Queen, thirteen, buxom blonde, bad dream
I am sexualizing this young girl and calling her a 'Rock Queen'
Let me touch your cookies--let me eat your cookies--now
I am being vulgar and disrespectful towards this young girl
Got some time, Won't go wrong
I have some free time and I'm not worried about messing it up
Sittin' on the sidewalk, Singing songs
I am sitting on the sidewalk and singing
Take my baby home, On the scene
I am taking this girl home with me
Turns out she's a koochie-koochie-koochie
I am continuing to objectify and demean this young girl
Rock queen, thirteen, buxom blonde, bad dream
I am continuing to sexualize this young girl
Let me touch your cookies--let me eat your cookies
I am being vulgar and disrespectful towards this young girl
I'm tumblin', tumblin' round
I feel like I am directionless and out of control
I'm tumblin', my feet don't touch the ground
I feel like I am just blowing around with the wind
'Cause I got no, got no place to go
I don't have any direction or purpose right now
Maybe if I did I'd settle down my roots would grow
If I had a purpose, maybe I could feel more stable
I'm a tumbleweed
I feel like I am just aimlessly wandering through life
Tumbleweed bad seed
I am calling myself a bad person
No one I need
I don't feel like I need anyone in my life
Got a home on a ghost town highway
I feel like I am isolated and alone
Ooh I'm a tumbleweed
I am continuing to feel directionless and purposeless
I'm tumblin', someday I will be gone
I feel like my life is fleeting and I won't be around forever
When I grow old, grow old and pass away
I will eventually die of old age
Just spread my ashes on a windy day
When I die, I want my ashes to be spread in an aimless way
Tumbleweed bad seed
I am continuing to call myself a bad person
Got a home on a ghost town highway
I still feel lonely and isolated
'Cause I'm a tumbleweed
I still feel aimless and purposeless
