beautiful song.
ive always thought of it as a really nice song.
but little did i know the meaning behind it all.
beautiful. touching. and true.
i think the song is about how his mother loves him
despite all the things that he did and did not do
and that his mother should've hate him instead.
later i found out that through and interview
the band said that it was written
about one of their mother who passed away.
Mother: "Hi Justin! This is your mother it is 2:33 on Monday afternoon. I was just calling to see how you were doing. You sounded really uptight last night, it made me a little nervous, and a little, well it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous too. I just want to make sure you are really okay and wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication. You know I love ya. Take care honey, I know you're under a lot of pressure. See ya. Bye Bye!"
I have to block out thoughts of you
So I don't lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach
Leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape
To remind me that I'm alone
Playing movies in my head
That make a porno feel like home
There's a burning in my pride
A nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you
Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me
Just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me
it is I that wanted this
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you
I'm sober now for 3 whole months
It's one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart
Is the one thing that I won't touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you
For holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself
You were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions
On things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself
When it was way too hard to take
So I'll drive so fucking far away
That I'll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart
To leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see whats good for you
And when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street
For every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry
And I held your face in my hand
And then I found out I can't make it go away
Just make it stop
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered:
"How could you did this to me?"
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see
What's good for you, for you, for you, for you...
