dustbox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's hard for me to say this kind of thing.
I hate you, too. I lie.
Cuz I love you even now.
But I will say "I don't care."
Cuz you're going away.
I just couldn't find any words.
Abnormal pride always always rules me...
I hate you. I have to lie.
I'm waiting for you to come back.
I hate you. I have to lie.
Abnormal pride...
The lyrics to Dustbox's song Abnormal Pride express the feeling of not wanting someone to leave and being unable to express that sentiment due to pride. The first stanza starts with a plea, "Don't go! Stay here! Please don't leave me alone," indicating a sense of loneliness that would be felt if the person left. But the singer also admits their difficulty in expressing their emotions, saying "It's hard for me to say this kind of thing." The second stanza is where the paradox of the song comes into play. The singer says, "I hate you, too. I lie. Cuz I love you even now. But I will say 'I don't care.' Cuz you're going away." The line "I hate you, too. I lie" could mean that the singer pretends to hate the person so that their pride isn't hurt, but in truth, they still love them. The phrase "abnormal pride always always rules me" repeats throughout the song, implying that the singer's pride is not a healthy amount, and they are aware of it.
The very last line of the song "abnormal pride" is sung twice, emphasizing its significance in the song. The word "abnormal" implies that the pride is not typical, and it is something negative that should be changed. The singer realizes that their pride is causing a rift between themselves and the person they love, and they hate themselves for it. It's a song about the internal struggles that come with holding onto one's pride so tightly that it causes harm to themselves and others.
