Today I Hate Everyone
The Killjoys Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And there's some days that I just want to escape.
And every day just gets a little further from where I want to be.
I just want to sit alone and contemplate my fate.
For today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
And one more shadow won't help anything so go away.
And if I hurt you well, I'm sorry, that was not my intention.
I'll feel better tomorrow so come back another day.
For today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
There's a shadow creeping slowly over everything.
And one more shadow won't help anything so go away.
And if I hurt you well, I'm sorry, that was not my intention.
I'll feel better tomorrow so come back another day.
For today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
Today I hate everyone.
The lyrics to The Killjoys' song "Today I Hate Everyone" express a feeling of frustration and dissatisfaction with life that many listeners can relate to. The song speaks to the experience of feeling overwhelmed and wanting to escape, but also feeling like every day gets further away from where you want to be. The singer just wants to be alone to contemplate their fate, but can't seem to escape the shadows and negative energy surrounding them.
The chorus is particularly powerful as it captures the intensity of the singer's feelings in a universal way. "For today I hate everyone" is a raw and honest declaration of emotional exhaustion and the desire to distance oneself from others.
The bridge of the song is interesting as well, as it acknowledges the potential harm that the singer's current emotional state may have caused others. "And if I hurt you well, I'm sorry, that was not my intention" speaks to the complexity of human relationships and how difficult it can be to navigate them when struggling with personal issues.

on I've Been Good
Verse 1
Between the passion and the pain
I said my love could never wane
which methods do forsake the blues
the ones who have the right to choose
Chorus
I've been taking it all away
I can't believe my love
I've been good I've been good I've been thinking
I've been good I've been good I've been thinking
that I'll stay....I'll stay
Verse 2
Between true love and none at all
I was the one to often fall
which methods do forsake the blues
she said she had the right to choose
Chorus
I've been taking it all away
I can't believe my love
I've been good I've been good I've been thinking
I've been good I've been good I've been thinking

that I'll stay ... (instrumental verse part 1 time...)
Chorus to Outro
I've been taking it all away

I'll stay.............stay
