"Hate This and I'll Love You" as written by and Matthew James Bellamy....
Oh I am growing tired
Of allowing you to steal
Everything I have
You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour
You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So afraid to die
'Cause I was born to destroy you
I am growing by the hour
I'm getting strong in every way
You led me on
You led me on
You
Oh, I'm getting strong in every way
Of allowing you to steal
Everything I have
You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour
You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So afraid to die
'Cause I was born to destroy you
I am growing by the hour
I'm getting strong in every way
You led me on
You led me on
You
Oh, I'm getting strong in every way

"You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So unafraid to die"
he's obviously talking about about god and he thinks god abandoned us so we reject him.
really don't see how you could interpret it as a relationship..but whatev, its muse so who knows??
And you are completely right about that relationship bullshit people come up with. It is so clear to see how the term love has been raped, there is only one love. From that love, the love for a woman derives.
"You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour"
"'Cause I was born to destroy you
I am growing by the hour
I'm getting strong in every way"
Now in his maturity he learns the truth about religion and is growing stronger in his new perspective because of past experiences. But that is just how I see it.. Matt seems to take an agnostic view in all his songs relating to religion. I love this song.
also listening to this song loud through earphones is a surreal feeling =)
This song is a statement of independence from that thought process, that Muse sets out to be original and different, this song is mocking Radiohead by titling itself "Hate This and I'll Love You" because unlike Muse's other music, the musical style in this song IS similar to Radiohead, listen to the guitar, especially in the very beginning. Muse is saying in a very discreet way that this song is what they would have been if they had borrowed heavily from Radiohead, and pleads with us to hate it, to see an understand that they are a very different band.
Muse addresses the other band directly:
"Oh I am growing tired
Of allowing you to steal
Everything I have
You're making me feel
Like I was born to service you
But I am growing by the hour"
"You left us far behind
So we all discard our souls
And blaze through your skies
So unafraid to die"
This is not a love song, "you left US far behind" is not about two people in love, that statement can't be made when talking about just 2 people, it's about 2 bands, but in a broader sense, Muse and the music community.
So UNafraid to die
Possibly Not...
i think it's maybe about a relationship (hehe) where the chick controls every aspect of it... "I am growing tired of allowing you to steal everything I have you're making me feel like I was born to service you"...? But then the next half of the song is completely didfferent so I think I'm wrong.
One of the best Muse lyrics in this song though... "So unafraid to die" oh wait, so is "I was born to destroy you"... they are such powerful lines and can mean so much when you put your mind to it
