Hope You Die
The Atomic Bitchwax Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I hope you feel allright.
I hope you sleep ok.
I hope the bugs all bite
And you rot away.
I hope you crash your car.
I hope you don't get far
I hope your asking why
You gotta die, yeah.

And when you run and hide
You suck on misplaced pride.
I hope you hate this shit!
I hope your clothes don't fit!
I hope you're all alone,
I not your stepping stone.

I hope you asking why
You gotta die, yeah

The second stanza describes the singer's hatred towards the person, stating that he hopes that they crash their car, don't get far and are forced to ask why they have to die. The last stanza is an expression of the singer's hope that the person is left alone and is forced to face the consequences of their actions. He hopes that their clothes don't fit them and that they have no one to turn to. Overall, the lyrics of the song are quite dark and disturbing, relying heavily on aggressive imagery to convey the powerful emotions of the singer.
