Hate Me
Soundivers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hate me for all the things that I have done
Shoot me for everything I have desired
Sorry for the truth you’ve come to know
All I want to say she loves me more

Oh, why do worlds collide
Leaving behind a dusty cloud
Of anger and pride to settle down?
Oh, why when it settles down
Will it get back up
To hit the ground like drops of rain
Bringing hatred and revenge?

Scorn me for getting what I don’t deserve
Beat me, but you don’t seem to have the nerve
Tell me what you think I’m really worth
All I want to say she loves more

Oh, why do worlds collide
Leaving behind a dusty cloud
Of anger and pride to settle down?
Oh, why when it settles down
Will it get back up
To hit the ground like drops of rain
Bringing hatred and revenge?

I can’t see through
This ashy mist of misery,
Fake dignity and guilt
There’s only one way
Won't you forgive and forget
But I see it’s rushing straight at me
We won’t escape crashing; you and me

Destroy me as though my life don’t cost a thing
Threaten that I’m the one who won’t win
Ignore me as I was never even born
All I want to say she loves more

Oh, why do worlds collide
Leaving behind a dusty cloud
Of anger and pride to settle down?
Oh, why when it settles down
Will it get back up




To hit the ground like drops of rain
Bringing hatred and revenge?
