I Hate You
The Dummys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's a nasty little queen

There's a boy who loves his mother

Here's another operator

Thinkin' that he's got it covered


You're in a jam

You're tied up in knots

And I'm the man

That you are not

Yeah, I'm the man

That you are not



Here's some white boy doin' time

There's one that got out

Here's another brother who seems to think

He knows what it's about



You're in a jam

You're tied up in knots

And I'm the man

That you are not

Yeah, I'm the man

That you are not



I'm the one just sittin' back

Waitin' here alone

I stay inside and shut the blinds

Do everything by phone



You're in a jam

You're tied up in knots

And I'm the man

That you are not

Yeah, I'm the man





That you are not

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of The Dummys' song "I Hate You" are very intriguing and open to interpretation. The song seems to be about someone who feels superior and in control, looking down on others who are struggling or not as privileged. The first verse mentions a "nasty little queen" who could potentially represent someone who defies society's norms and expectations. The lyrics then describe a boy who loves his mother, an operator who thinks he has everything under control, and a white boy who is imprisoned. These individuals may represent different types of people facing various challenges in life.


The chorus repeats the phrase "You're in a jam, you're tied up in knots, and I'm the man that you are not." This can be interpreted as the singer believing they are above these individuals and have everything figured out. The second verse continues this theme by mentioning another brother who thinks he knows it all.


What is interesting about these lyrics is the use of pronouns. The singer says "I'm the man that you are not," indicating that they are male and identifying with this sense of power and superiority. However, later in the song, they mention "staying inside and shutting the blinds, doing everything by phone," which could imply that they are actually afraid to confront the world and hide behind technology. This could be seen as a contradiction to the singer's earlier claims of being superior.


Overall, the lyrics of "I Hate You" by The Dummys paint a picture of someone who may be struggling with their own identity and looking down on others as a way of coping with their own insecurities.

praise Allah for His uncountable blessings, there's no God but He

Islam since Adam (the first human) is to worship only Allah (the Creator of the universe), following the prophet of your time, because people cannot know the path without them, they came to direct and confirm the one message that: God has no partner, no son, no alike, do not worship except Him.

and people had to keep the teachings (the laws given to the prophet) until another prophet (final one is Muhammed peace be upon him) who is described in the scriptures.

Allah your Creator says in the Qur'an, surat Al-A'raaf:

(157) Those who follow the Messenger, the unlettered prophet, whom they find written in what they have of the Torah and the Gospel, who enjoins upon them what is right and forbids them what is wrong and makes lawful for them the good things and prohibits for them the evil and relieves them of their burden and the shackles which were upon them. So they who have believed in him, honored him, supported him and followed the light which was sent down with him - it is those who will be the successful.

158. Say, [O Muhammad], "O mankind, indeed I am the Messenger of Allah to you all, [from Him] to whom belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth. There is no deity except Him; He gives life and causes death." So believe in Allah and His Messenger, the unlettered prophet, who believes in Allah and His words, and follow him that you may be guided.

She called him a dumb dumb because she knows what it's like to miss people who hurt you, and she feels stupid and self-chastising for that, so she's projecting those feelings onto him. She's really just saying all that to herself

@Glasseater-je6vx

That's a really good point.
