I Am Hated For Loving

Morrissey

I am hated for loving
I am hated for loving
Anonymous call, a poison pen
A brick in the small of the back again
I still don't belong
To anyone, I am mine

And I am hated for loving
I am haunted for wanting
Anonymous call, a poison pen
A brick in the ah
A brick in the small of the back again
I still don't belong
To anyone, I am mine

I am falling
With no one to catch me
I am falling
And there's still
No one to catch me
Ah
Anonymous call, a poison pen
A brick in the ah
A brick in the small of the back again
I just don't belong
To anywhere
I just don't belong
Mmm
Ah

    Everyone who constantly feels like they need to reference his lyrics to homosexuality is not a true fan and is ultimately missing the point of his lyrics. Im so sick of everyone just assuming hes homosexual. Hes been ridiculously honest about everything in his life including his sexuality. The subject is boring and takes away from the value of his music.

    I think this song is about someone who so wants to love & be loved that he seems desperate & pathetic to others, so those people treat him badly (or "hate" him). Basically, like most of Morrissey's songs, it's about a vulnerable, sensitive person who is lonely.

    i think its about the critics who downplay his music for being on the depressing side.

    I always thought that this was more general than most people say. I think this is just about having a passion/love for something - I guess homosexuality would make sense, but too many people just assume that it must be - but being hated for it. Maybe it's just about his music

    It's not about homosexuality. It's about a woman who loves taken men.

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
