I Hate You
Unrest Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in my class, just drifting away
Staring into the windows of the world
I can't hear the teacher, his books don't call me at all
I don't see the bad boys tryin' to catch some play

[Chorus]
'cause I love your smile
I love your smile

The clock at work says three
And I want to be free
Free to scream, free to bathe, free to paint
My toes all day
My boss is lame you know, and so is the pay
I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway

[Chorus]

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give
You rock my world
You dig

I'm showin'
The life that I'm livin'
This is the life that I have
And it's given to you

Yeh'and it's true
La-d-da
Twinkley d
do you

Believe in a girl
like me
Shanice is the one
For you to be with

But when I'm caught
All alone
I start fessin'
It's from a state of depression
And the thunder clouds of doubt move in
I begin to wonder "Do you still love me?"
But after that
My whole world is beautiful

Time came and showed me your direction
Now I know I'll never ever go back
Taught me that
I can be a better girl with love you give




You rock my world
You dig

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Unrest's song "I Hate You" describe a classroom scene in which the singer is disengaged from the lesson being taught. Instead, they are lost in their own thoughts, staring out the window and ignoring the bad boys who are trying to catch some attention. The chorus speaks to the singer's affection for someone else ("I love your smile"), offering a contrast between the apathy they feel towards their classroom surroundings and the strong emotional connection they have to this other person.


The second verse shifts to the singers' working life, with the clock ticking away and an overpowering sense of desire for freedom. They long to "scream, bathe, paint my toes all day" and escape the mediocrity of their job, but the only way they can achieve this is by spending money they don't have ("I'm gonna put that new black mini on my charge anyway"). The chorus repeats the same words as before, highlighting the significance of the singer's love interest in their life.


The final verse addresses the transformative impact of this person on the singer's perception of themselves and the world around them. They speak of being shown a new direction and learning to be a better person with the love given to them. Despite moments of self-doubt and depression, the singer is confident that this love has made their world beautiful.


Overall, "I Hate You" captures the experience of feeling disconnected from the mundane aspects of daily life while simultaneously finding meaning in a relationship with another person. The lyrics are introspective and vulnerable, showcasing the complexity of human emotion and the ways in which love can transform a person's life.

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Every roommate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
Only when I stop to think
About you, I know
Only when you stop to think
About me, do you know?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me?
I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

Lyrics:

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet

Every room-mate kept awake
By every sigh and scream we make
All the feelings that I get
But I still don't miss you yet
Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet
Only when I stop to think about it

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

Only when I stop to think about you
I know
Only when you stop to think about me
Do you know?

I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?
You hate everything about me
Why do you love me?

I hate
You hate
I hate
You love me
I hate everything about you
Why do I love you?

and Karlı dağlar kara bulut içinde
Yaylası hüzünlü yöresi bir hoş
Sevdalı yolcular umut içinde
Hayalin düğünü töresi bir hoş bir hoş
Han sarhoş hancı sarhoş
Yolda yabancı sarhoş
El çek tabip kalbimden
İçimdeki sancı sarhoş
İçimdeki sancı sarhoş
Hayalin düğünü töresi bir hoş bir hoş
Han sarhoş hancı sarhoş
Yolda yabancı sarhoş
El çek tabip kalbimden
İçimdeki sancı sarhoş
İçimdeki sancı sarhoş
Bahar gelmiş Nurhak Dağı otlanmış
Bizim evde bayram günü kutlanmış
Obalar dağılmış dostlar yadlanmış
Eyvah ayrılığın yaresi bir hoş bir hoş
Han sarhoş hancı sarhoş
Yolda yabancı sarhoş
El çek doktor kalbimden

Mahzuni yıldızım aylar içinde
Bağlanmışım zülfü yaylar içinde
Yüzemez yunuslar çaylar içinde
