Primer 55 was an American nu metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The name… Read Full Bio ↴Primer 55 was an American nu metal band from Louisville, Kentucky. The name originates from the combination of Primer, meaning "something that's unfinished," and 55, which refers to Interstate 55, "the road that drugs run on to get to Chicago through Memphis".

Primer 55 was formed in 1997 by guitarist Bobby Burns and vocalist J-Sin. The two met when J-Sin's previous band was the opening act for Burns' previous band. Burns' heavy metal music influences and J-Sin's hip hop influences melded to create the band's rap rock sound. Bassist Mike "Jr." Christopher and drummer Josh McLane were then added to complete the line-up.

They made 2 albums before disbanding in 2003, then reforming in 2007 to make one more album that same year, before disbanding in 2015. In 2018, the lead singer Jason "J-Sin' Luttrell passed away. He was 40 years old.

Hâte
Primer 55 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I toss and turn, and I can't sleep
I don't understand my life
I don't understand my suffering
I try to fight; I try to resist
But all the hate, and all the pain
And all the lies; I can't take this
And I can't fight what I can't see
I can't fight for my life

I can't fight for my enemy
The lies you tell chip away at my insides
Leave me with nothing but hate that I can't hide

Kill it
Hate

I try to take what you give me
I let you pick apart my brain
I let you pick apart my misery
I'm feeling tired, and I feel sick
But all the stress, and all the hate, and all the pain
It's not worth it
And I can't fight what I can't see
I can't fight what I can't see

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Primer 55's song "Hate" reflect the discomfort, confusion, and agony experienced by someone who is struggling to understand their own life and the hardships they have experienced. The artist expresses their struggle to resist the aggression, pain, and deception that has been imposed on them, yet it still haunts them, leaving them with nothing but hate they cannot conceal.

The lyrics show how the artist is struggling to comprehend their existence and the suffering that they are going through. They are in deep emotional turmoil and are turning and tossing, unable to find any solace or rest. They feel powerless to resist the hatred and pain, feeling that it is beyond their control.

In the second verse, the artist shows resentment towards the person or people who have brought such pain into their life. The artist believes that they willingly allowed others to infiltrate their brain and further pick apart their misery. Nevertheless, the artist has come to a point where it is no longer worth it - the stress and burden outweigh the supposed benefits. The lies and manipulation take a toll on the artist's emotional and mental state, leaving them with nothing but hate that they cannot stowaway.

I’ve been loving this series! My HG setting spray is the Make Up Forever one, I’ve never used a setting spray that actually made my makeup look the exact same at the end of the day as when I put on that morning! It’s some sort of sorcery!! 😍

Arna Alayne

Ahhhhh love me a wizard spray haha

Loving this series! I was told by a Mecca staff member that the Hourglass No. 28 serum is both a serum and a primer that works the same way as the mineral veil. It’s hydrating so works well on very dry skin. I personally love it, because I can’t use the Mineral Veil primer due to it pulling like mad. It’s great for longevity and hydration on dry skin. The only down side is that there’s lavender in it, so if you were sensitive to scent or lavender you may struggle with it.

Another great video! I bought the Hourglass primer on your recommendation and love it. I haven't seen you use Laura Mercier or Estee Lauder primers on your channel, and they are some of my all-time favorites. Laura Mercier's primers are very different from a lot of primers on the market as they're water based gels that contain the most minimal of silicones yet they still smooth the skin and blur pores/lines so well. They also contain some skincare meant to protect the skin from aging due to environmental factors. Very good stuff! I've used the hydrating, radiance, and oil-free ones, although my favorite is the radiance. Another favorite of mine is the Estee Lauder Illuminator primer. It's not a primer but gives a glowy effect as such, so I'll mention it here. The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter is so beautiful on. I wear it after primer but before my foundation, and I've also mixed it in with my foundation for an all over glow. All are beautiful products!

Arna Alayne

I really really need to try the Flawless filter!!

Muireann Brassil

Just donated ❤️ Such a good cause, as someone that suffers from an anxiety disorder, it makes me so happy to see a creator like you speaking up and doing something to help young people suffering ❤️ Also love the Arna Awards, adding things to my wish list as I'm watching 😂😍

Thanks for the informative run down Arna. For those interested, whilst the Mac strobe cream is more expensive than the L'oreal Magic Lumi it has superior skin care benefits. x

Arna Alayne

Great to know!

Bridget Norris

Your skin looks amazing and dewy! I have the physicians formula primer and the elf pore filling primer- which I like. One of these days though I do want to eventually get the Too faced hangover primer or the hourglass veil mineral primer because I’ve heard such good things about them!

Are Squared - redrose92087

I really love the flower beauty hydrating primer too (I tend to rotate it with the top faced hangover rx and the smashbox primerizer, though I reach for the flower beauty one more often). Both the tacha and the hourglass primers break me out 😫

I just ordered my merch and donated today (yay for payday!) 😊😊 I’m so excited about this fundraiser! 🌻🌻💗

Arna Alayne

oh yay!! thank you so much lovely!! <3

lady_freakin_macbeth

Your makeup is flawless, can you please make a tutorial on it? It's really gorgeous!

I know we all hate Tarte now but those mermaid drops r amazing! I use them a million ways and it never fails to be luminous. Tatcha I adore except it makes foundation dry unless I use a very moist one. My go to is Nyx hydrating...it's cheap and feels good and can go even on eyelids, but it's definitely not plumping magic or anything. I'm really wanting that hangover spray now...my Sephora cart is filling😂🌻

Arna Alayne

5y↑1

I need to try the NYX one :)

Juliette Stark

PSS I LOVE THIS SERIES AND YOU ❤️❤️❤️

Arna Alayne

Amy Plays With Colour

I’ve never seen that L’Oréal Base Magique primer in the UK. I’d never even heard of it before now, but seeing the texture, I wonder if it’s similar to the Tarte Clean Slate primer, which is the best pore filling one I’ve ever tried.

Ellinor Z.

You're the best! Thank you for always talking about the fragrance of products. ❤️🌻❤️🌻

Amara Young

Great recommendations! I have the Maybelline hydrating primer and L'Oreal lumi primer and like them both! I was wondering about the PF illuminating primer, happy to know its not too dark, I will definitely look into that! I also have the TF hangover spray and really enjoy that, but my favorite finishing spray is the Pixi hydrating milky mist! It has a super fine spray and adds a nice glow. Next on my list to try is the Catrice dewy setting spray, but its been out of stock on Ulta for forever! Have you tried it?

Katherine

5y↑1

Amara Young - thank you!

Amara Young

@Katherine I have dry skin and I really like it! You can use it after makeup and during your skincare routine as well. I also use it to refresh my makeup later in the day when I am looking too dry.

Katherine

5y↑1

Amara Young thanks! I’m very dry and have been considering the milky mist but haven’t been sure whether it’s what I want or not.

Amara Young

5y↑1

@Katherine I wouldn't say it does does much to help make my makeup last longer, but its really nice for making it look less powdery and more skin-like

Katherine

5y↑1

Amara Young - does the pixi spray make your makeup last ok? I’ve recently been having issues with urban decay sprays making my foundation separate.

Your makeup is so delectably dewy and natural in these vids, I can’t even! Also, you replied to a comment of mine regarding bb creams in another vid and I wanted to say how sweet that was! I was touched and I’m excited for the upcoming vid next year!

Now, this goes to anyone (lol, and I would like to preface that I know how stupid I probably sound): but do primers really make a difference after the layers of essence, moisturizer, and SPF? And if so, how? I don’t understand makeups - BUT I’M TRYING. Like, I bought NYX’s Angel Veil primer and it has a blue tint. Pretty cool...just...another layer. I mean, I figure that if a primer makes you notice a difference, then and only then it’s actually doing something? But I wouldn’t know, lol.

As a random side note, you HAVE to get Clio’s Kill Cover liquid highlight. I am not a makeup person, but that stuff is so beautiful. Melts into my Missha BB cream and looks so natural, but not in the best way. The contour is too warm. I got both in a sample with my eyebrow stain (another natural love) from Clio. Love natural Korean makeup!

Rosie A. I can’t recommend enough what I use as a primer for oily/large pore areas. It’s called “replenix ultimatte perfection” and it has spf 50. It’s not necessarily marketed as a primer I don’t think, but it is basically a cheaper version of cane + Austin’s matte primer. Exact same ingredients, exact same effects. I’ve used both, it’s just the replenix is 20 dollars cheaper.

It fills and smooths pores dramatically, and it keeps oil at bay for 12 hours for me. And best of all it keeps my makeup in place especially if I lightly powder on top of that and the foundation. It’s my absolute holy grail for my T zone!! I’ll never go back to anything else. The stuff is magic so I try to spread the word haha

Rosie A.

@Jill Gotcha! I actually have combo (though mostly dry) skin. It only gets oily on my damn nose and I still am trying to figure out how to get makeup to stay on there, lol. I like pore-filling stuffs, but I guess I get worried that pore-filling means "blockage", i.e. more acne!

Rosie A.

@Arna Alayne Gotcha, thank you! That really helped it click for me. :)

Jill

Primer, for me, is absolutely vital. I have extremely oily skin, and without my holy grail primer I get shiny and greasy within 4 hours and my foundation slips around and is a mess. It makes the most noticeable difference of any of my makeup! I think your skin type can contribute to whether or not you like primers :) also I have huge pores lol so it has to be pore filling as well as oil controlling.

Arna Alayne

5y↑4

Thank you so much!! I think Primer is a very personal thing. Some people love them, some hate them. Personally, I just have to see SOME kind of difference for me to stick with one. It needs to offer at least one of the following: longevity, Hydrating, glowyness, pore-filling and smoothing, or colour correction! If it does none of those things, it’s a useless extra step haha! Now, of course your skincare is meant to hydrate your skin, and I won’t use an extra Hydrating primer step if I’ve just applied Moisturizer, but I like it as a top up if it’s been a few hours since I applied! Also, I don’t have silicones in my skincare, so applying a silicone primer helps makeup to stick for me x

Elizabeth Serna

Hi 🙋🏻‍♀️ I just found your channel and I binged watch the 7 videos so far. I am in love with your natural dewy skin ✨ You look so glowy and amazing 💕 Now I have quite a few products that I want to try! Btw do you have any video showing your go to radiant makeup look? 🤔

Arna Alayne

Awww thank you!! I think this is L’Oreal Color Riche Shine in MLBB :)

MrsSGennett

Have you tried the NYX Angel Veil primer? I have heard it’s very similar to the Hourglass Veil Mineral primer and was wondering how you think it compares as a cheaper alternative? Also, thank you so much because I always appreciate when scents are mentioned as highly scented products trigger migraines for me. Love your videos I’m so glad I came across your channel! You are so beautiful and kind 💗

Arna Alayne

Yes I have! It's nice, but not an exact dupe for Hourglass! much thicker in texture! thank you lovely xx

Arna Alayne

Yep I’ve got a back up haha

Sharon Avraham

Great video I also enjoy the veil hourglass primer. Didn’t like the 3-1 too faced spray though...did nothing for me , and the same goes for the smashbox one...

Kristen Malick-Hatta

So recently I was thinking of picking up the Mac Strobe Cream in Silverlite but for some reason it seems it’s no longer being sold in the US 😕 I see in your links it’s still available in both the AU and UK - I hate it that the US tends to discontinue a lot of products that work well for us fair ladies. The pinklite is pretty but I recently developed rosacea and don’t want anything making me look more pink🤣 Hope it comes back in the US 😬

Kristen Malick-Hatta

@Arna Alayne It’s a shame cause it’s such a great color for us! Yea I spoke with MAC and initially they were like it was limited edition and I said ummm it’s been on the market for YEARS…haha then they said discontinued 🤷🏼‍♀️ I ordered one on Amazon but sometimes I worry about the quality of the products there esp since it would be going on my face😅 But there are some good dupes like the Lumi Loreal Primer and VDL Lumilayer so I think I’ll work with those hehe😁😉

Arna Alayne

Have you ever tried the Stila One Step Correct Primer, it sounds A LOT like the Mirenesse primer you mentioned, and the Stila one is such a holy grail of mine!! Def give it a try if you can :)

Arna Alayne

I haven’t!!

Madison

You have to try the First Aid Beauty Coconut Primer! It’s hydrating!

Arna Alayne

It's been on my wishlist for so long!

Mariah D

You are doing a wonderful Job of this <3 and pretty

Arna Alayne

thanks !! xx

Jess Crimston

Hi Arna, anything you’d recommend for BOTH pore filling and longevity? I’m currently using the IT Bye Bye Pores but find it kind of makes my makeup slip around throughout the day, especially in Summer!

Arna Alayne

I would probably go with the Tatcha! It's a bit thicker so really smooths over texture and pores well x

KV

I like Lumi, but it hasn't played well under any of my foundations, for some reason - every one of them balls up over top of it. I think it may not love my moisturizer, but who knows. At any rate I use it like a creamy highlighter (iow, very cautiously). This is the second time I’ve heard the Mirenesse recommended, so I bit the bullet and ordered. I really hope it’s not as drying as the Nyx (?) product I’m using occasionally now. That one works just fine under makeup, but it feels drying on my already dry skin and it can’t be used alone. Crossing my fingers....

Becky

My skin is quite sensitive but the Tatcha primer doesn’t bother my skin! Also, have you found any good undereye color correctors (that are light enough)? I’ve tried a couple but they all end up being too dark #palegirlproblems
I hope you’re doing well and taking care of yourself with all the extra work you’re doing!

Radmila Todorovic

Dior makes great one, fix it 2 in 1 I use color 200 apricot. It is pricer but its amazing.

Tammy St. Jean

@Denise Herud For a liquid essence makes a decent one, Urban Decay has a one but get the pink not the peach. If your in Canada Annabelle has a really good one and if your ok with killing puppies Maybelline Age Rewind makes a pink that's supposed to be really good.

Lemonade Stand

Becca undereye brightening corrector in light-medium is the BEST. Seriously dont walk but RUN to your nearest Sephora and buy that bad boy. Yes it's pricey but a little bit goes along way so the little jar/container will last you a long time.

Jessa K.

@Becky Chiming in, hope you don't mind. My absolute favorite color corrector is by Bobbi Brown in the shade porcelain bisque.

Arna Alayne

5y↑2

That’s good to know! I mentioned my favourite undereye corrector in my concealer video right at the end haha it’s by a Korean brand called The Saem! I think it would work for you as it’s very fair! Also the MUR Concealer in 0.5 is a similar very pink shade x

For finishing spray you should try the Dior Radiance Mist.....to die for and your bank account will also die but superb...

I was so excited to try that Too Faced primer, but it does not seem to work for me at all.. Foundation will not stick to my face when I'm using it

@Arna Alayne I'm going to keep trying it, and I hope it works with something! I've heard good things. It's also sort of funny because the foundation it was the worst with was a silicone free foundation, the Milk Makeup Blur foundation.

Arna Alayne

5y↑1

:( that’s a shame! It likely wasn’t a match for the foundations you use (most foundations are silicone-based). Some absolutely NEED silicone primer and others are ok on their own, but it’s probably the likely cause!

Does primerizer make anyone else's skin sting?

Katherine

Cute Pink〈3 - it has hyaluronic acid and when my skin is reactive and having issues anything with hyaluronic acid makes my skin sting.

Tammy St. Jean

For moisture the best is the First Aid Beauty Coconut Smoothie Priming Moisturizer it's basically their moisturizer with light shimmer in it doesn't really make my makeup last longer but I normally don't wear my makeup past 8 hours and it still looks good. I have found the perfect primer combo for my skin that works with all my foundations but again stupidly expensive is the Farsali Unicorn drops with the Too Faced Hangover 3 in 1 spray it's literally glue for your face and it has "skin care" in it.

loly loleta

My dear are you sure that maybelline one is silicon based cause in wibsite they said it is water based

Arna Alayne

Water is still usually the first ingredient for silicone-based primers :) confusing, but basically if a silicone is 2nd on the list, then it’s silicone based x
