This Love, This Hate

To me, this song is like an anti-war song where he is no longer sure if what he was told to do by the military was the right thing to do. The snare drum near the end also reminds me a lot of the military.

The first verse sounds kind of like a pep talk to himself and in a way sounds like the military commercials that you see.

First 5 lines sounds like kind of like saying there are many people who feel like they should do something but only a few actually are brave enough to do it “sing like lions”

The next 2 lines “we got each other’s back until were back where we belong” sounds like he is with his fellow platoon members and they will protect each other until they are back home.

Skipping down a little bit

“And through the battles we did wrong A man would tell me wisdom through the static we were gone And maybe when were gone they'll look into the stars Every starts got its ending Even when we've learn to rise above it all”

It sounds like they were told to do something that they thought was wrong but the man over the radio gave them orders to and said if you die you will be remembered as a hero.

The next verse that repeats a few times that starts with “These lies are leading me astray” This sound sounds like the regret he has of what he has done and he feels like he was lied to. The war does go on endlessly. And he will “sing one last song until he is gone” off to the next war.

The next verse could be taken as solders and combat references Etc…

My 2 cents...

And now I'm floatin' right above my coffin as it closes I look down and I see Sai As she's cryin on my mama's shoulder I look up into the sky as the gates of Heaven open Somethings wrong is this destiny or am I going home What will happen to my soul Will I come back I don't know Will you meet me when it's over, let me know You can meet me here in Heaven Don't you ever let me go this is what gets to me the most man cuz i feel this inside like no other to me it says that when your in your darkest place and feel no one cares and then you end it.... then you really see how much people care This love, this hate Is burning me away

this song kicks ass. not sure what the the connection is with this one and "knife called lust" though. the lyrics are pretty much completely different except for that one line.

Holy crap... no cuss words?

He also says her name in Gravestone so I'm thinking it may be his daughter.

i thought of it as talking about sexuality. my reasoning is this:

the part that goes: "Maybe one day we can choose How it feels to be a woman or a man Without rules we're buried underneath"

made me think it means something like one day it wont be such a big deal to be gay/les/trans, etc. maybe one day it will be more socially acceptable.

"I don't wanna live this destiny" not wanting to be socially "forced" to remain a man/woman and being able to be who you are inside, not being trapped inside the body you were born in. i guess its more about transgender (and the like) issues, because we all know that Hollywood Undead and Jeffree Star have worked together on music and such.

"So when my body burns in ashes only sing the truth Let these words strengthen all your views"

our bodies are only containers for who we really are. who said those containers cant sometimes be mislabeled?

Of the billions, maybe like only a few people have helped him out: supported his mistakes/taught him better. Songs same to that are meaningful and would still have it after the artist's death. a ponder if after his own death if people would still think about him under any condition. The chorus could mean how he doesn't want to continue living in a world endless sin. To his loved ones to not break like he did and a final oath/song before his death. "I don't want to live this destiny - It goes on endlessly!" Next verse, how in his POV there's not much good people. shit like war and economy going down is forced to be dealt with. Someday, will we finally have this 'freedom' the Constitution promised centuries ago and blabbed about? Someday, will certain sexual orientations - styles - creativity be accepted by society? Will there be reincarnation? When he dies, he doesn't want his thoughts or words to just die like that as well. He wants them to still live, "Because these words were meant for you!" Now that he's died, he's unsatisfied of the people his hurt. Trying to forget it, he tries to move on to going to Heaven. pause, is this really it for him? All these questions are making him wonder if he'll get peace at last, will he ever see his loved ones again, or does nothing happen in the end. As if things would be okay. "Don't you ever let me go!"

Love for the beloved. Hate for the hated. Love of not seeing hated ones again. Hate of not seeing beloved ones again. The people that hated him. The people that loved him. His love and hate for life.

" This Love . This Hate ; Is Burning Me Away. "

Well duhr I could be wrong about these lyrics. There's several more meanings and confusions about the lyrics "I look down and I see, sigh - As she's cryin on my mama's shoulder" Who is /she/? Probably another metaphor, rhyme or something.

"Without rules we're buried underneath There's a picture glue"

glue should be clue, makes more sense that way.

"And we once also had a story too/You can see that good men come in few/Even in our greatest moments/We may win or we may lose/Every songs got its rules/You've got to learn to make it through/Maybe one day we can choose/.../Without rules we're buried underneath/There's a picture clue/.../Let these words strengthen all your views/Because these words were meant for you"

All he's saying is that some ppl let rules control them... when he said that "every songs got its rules, you got to learn how to make it through," he means you have to know when to break them....

and i think the underlining message of the song is that "this love, this hate" is burning him away because no one ever did and no one ever can teach him what the rules are for those emotions.

i also think Sai/Sasha is his sister

sigh isnt his sister daughter or his effin dog its the girl hes in love with but shes real complicated. i know dueces friends really well there ya go

I'm not sure what their song is about, but their chorus is about their album, Swan Songs. They named it that because it is the last song a swan sings before dieing. And if they ever break up, the album will be their Swan Song.
