Members and founders of the band are the musical icon Peter "PS" Spilles and the enigmatic italian vocalist/lyricist Jinxy. Legend has it that they first met at the Ohlsdorfer Cemetery in Hamburg, where it is said that they accidentally 'scared the hell out of each other'. Apparently it was then that PS noticed Jinxy's unusual voice, and, well, it seems safe to say that he was quite intrigued by what he heard.
After discovering their common passion for dark music, macabre arts and rebellious humor, the two became friends and soon decided to start a band together.
Santa Hates You's music is straight forward dark-electro, with industrial traits and extremely danceable beats on one side, and catchy sequences as well as gothic and electro-punk elements on the other. While the band describes their sound as "juicy electronic-gothic-industrial", many others have tried, in the course of the last years, to characterize the Santa Hates You - style.
'A musical maelstrom'; 'The perfect soundtrack to the Mad Hatter's tea party'; 'Bizarre and grotesque like some kind of sexy freak show'; 'Always hard hitting but infectious as hell', 'Distasteful, wayward, mischievous, depraved, and dangerous for our youth' are only some of the most colorful labeling attempts out there.
Santa Hates You's powerful vocals are another unmistakable trait of the duo.
PS's striking voice finds a worthy ally in Jinxy's equally distinctive sultry-to-snarled vocal presence.
Santa Hates You is a subversive musical project, and this is reflected in the lyrics and in the image of the band.
They are famous for their 'trademark blend of dark, at times rather caustic humor' merged with a considerable portion of anticonformism, rebellion and shrewdness.
The band has often expressed their love for the european literature and art of the late 19th and early 20th century, and openly recognizes artistic movements such as Symbolism, Surrealism and the Decadent Movement as a source of stylistic inspiration.
The knowledge and passion for different psychological perspectives and approaches should also be mentioned as an unmissable inspirational element in the band's creative process.
They are currently signed to Trisol Music Group.

Love Song
Santa Hates You Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

After all these years
Of thinking out the forms of what you feared
You lived all aspects through them, entirely!
It's done, dearest child of mine.
It's just you and me, speaking by being.
Nothing's left for your anger to destroy
Except yourself
So, what do you want to do now?

Is there something?
Something you would like to say?

Wait! This time I'll give you light first.
Word!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Santa Hates You's Love Song are about letting go of anger and fear in order to move forward in a relationship. The song speaks to the idea that after years of holding onto negative emotions, it's time to release them and focus on mutual communication and understanding. The singer tells the listener that they have experienced everything they feared, but that it's now time to move on and embrace a more positive outlook. The line "It's just you and me, speaking by being" suggests that actions can speak louder than words, and that true understanding comes from a place of shared experience.

The second half of the song is particularly powerful, as the singer asks the listener if there is something they want to say, and promises to provide light in order to facilitate that communication. This idea of providing light could be interpreted as a metaphor for offering support or understanding, and it's clear that the singer is committed to helping the listener move forward in a positive way.

Overall, Love Song is a meditation on forgiveness, communication, and the power of letting go of negative emotions. The song encourages listeners to embrace positivity and to speak openly and honestly with their loved ones in order to build stronger relationships.

After all these years
Following a long passage of time,

Of thinking out the forms of what you feared
Contemplating and envisioning the shapes of one's anxieties

You lived all aspects through them, entirely!
Fully experiencing every dimension of those fears

It's done, dearest child of mine.
It's over, beloved offspring of mine.

It's just you and me, speaking by being.
Now it's only you and I, speaking without words.

Nothing's left for your anger to destroy
Your wrath has nothing left to demolish.

Except yourself
Other than yourself.

So, what do you want to do now?
What actions do you wish to execute next?

Is there something?
Is there anything you desire?

Something you would like to say?
Anything you want to express verbally?

Wait! This time I'll give you light first.
Wait! This time I'll offer you enlightenment first.
