Hate Demon
Tommy Genesis Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I belonged to her
She taught me how to fuck
Venus in Furs
Swimming in angelic temperate forests
With palm tree daddies hung singing my You didn't look back
You didn't want to turn to stone
In the club on my back
Are you down for the girl?
Do you like girls?
Panther asleep beside ivory mami
Club papi in the distance wearing camo in the hallway
My pussy was camo
We never did it in the Lambo
But they gon' write about it
Like they was right about it
And now that I've been hurt before
He lay me down I'm on the floor
My shirt is off I'm really stoned
And he know that I want the coke
Don't look back you'll turn to stone
Close my eyes too turnt I'm stoned
Don't look back you'll turn to stone
Close my eyes too turnt im stoned
The lyrics of "Hate Demon" by Tommy Genesis depict a sexual encounter with a person who is questioning their sexuality. The first stanza refers to Genesis' past relationships with women and how they taught her how to be sexually active. She draws a reference to a book called "Venus in Furs" by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, which describes a sadomasochistic relationship. Then, she mentions an experience in a forest with someone referred to as a "palm tree daddy" and a panther asleep beside an "ivory mami," which also suggests an exotic or sexual encounter.
In the second stanza, Genesis describes the presence of a person she is attracted to in a club, asking them if they like girls. She also references a person called "club papi" in the hallway wearing camo, which could be interpreted as a reference to the Latinx community. She makes a connection to her genitals which are camouflaged, implying that she is hiding or masking her true identity, suggesting a more complex or ambiguous gender identity. Later on, the lyrics indicate that Genesis had bad experiences with past relationships, and is now under the influence of drugs and wants to forget about them.

But they gon' write about it

Like they was right about it
As if they knew the truth, even though they didn't
And now that I've been hurt before
Because I've been hurt in the past, I'm cautious or guarded
He lay me down I'm on the floor
Having sex with someone who is physically overpowering
My shirt is off I'm really stoned
Engaging in sexual activity under the influence of drugs
And he know that I want the coke
My partner is aware that I want to use cocaine
Don't look back you'll turn to stone
Don't hesitate or you'll feel frozen by indecision
Close my eyes too turnt I'm stoned
Being too high to stay awake or alert
Don't look back you'll turn to stone
Don't hesitate or you'll feel frozen by indecision
Close my eyes too turnt im stoned
Being too high to stay awake or alert

I saw you when you came with Father to Seattle but to me you were the main act. Clean ass flow and amazing stage presence, it took a minute to find out who you were but damn keep it up.
