Thank you all of you commenting and interpreting the lyrics of the song

Ivy – Hideaway Lyrics 17 years ago
I first heard the song when a friend played the song to me.
He said the he liked the song, but at that moment I didn't really like it much.

I have to admit I've a crush on him
So I keep playing the song now
Every time I play the song
I remember how he sang it
The lyrics
"We're going on a midnight ride, under the sky and satellites"
this line in particular
reminds me of us
The way we wanna escape
The way we wanna hideaway
The way we enjoy the time being with only each other...

It's a nice song, anyway.

Blonde Redhead – Hated Because Of Great Qualities Lyrics 17 years ago
I came across the song about 9 months ago. It's just so beautiful that I kept listening to it on the youtube. I never knew what the song meant, and I couldn't relate the lyrics with the song title. One day, in a sad afternoon after a fight with my boyfriend, the song just kept spinning in my head. And suddenly, I realized what the song meant.

"Secret so sorry that I forgot.
Secret secret
We're all bound to forget.
I was worried I might be rude to you,
So worried that I was.
It's a lie to serve the truth and I'm still guilty.
I missed. So be it."

The "secret" is, the man does not love her.
Deep down, the girl knows it; but she keeps lying to herself that the boy does love her. The fact that the boy does not love her is being kept like a secret in her heart. She doesn't want to make the secret public since that would mean to end her relationship with the boy.

"Secret so sorry that I forgot" sometimes she feels that the boy really does not treat her right, and feels realy sad about that, but then she reminds herself that "yes, the truth is, the boy doesn't love me anymore." She knows it, and that's the little secret that she keeps deep inside her fragile heart. So at this point she realizes that she shouldn't be demanding anything from her boyfriend, she's sorry that she almost "forgets" about the lie that she has been telling herself, the lie that she has to tell herself all the time so as to keep the relationship going.

Realizing that she has to keep it as a secret, she does not blame the boy that he doesn't treat her right anymore; instead, she apologizes for the accusation she made to her boyfriend previously, in hope of sweeping all his bad things under the rug, nervously saying that it's her who was to blame: "I'm sorry I might be rude to you, so sorry that I was"

But "It's a lie to serve the truth" and therefore "I'm still guilty"

So the second stanza I guess is more or less about the empty words that the boy said to lazily pacify the girl. He didn't really mean what he said.

And in the last stanza,
"these should never be discussed here"
who is right and who is wrong should never be discussed openly anymore
if they wish to keep the decadent relationship with the brittle little lie.

And I suppose that's why the song title is called "hated becasue of great qualities". The man does not really hate her, just does not find himself love her anymore. That's why he is angry and seems to loathe her whenever he is "complained" by the girl.In fact, the girl is the one who has the points (being fair and honest about the situation they are in), the man cannot defend himself so he appears to hate the girl.

Of course, it's just my interpretation after all :]
