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.
Did you know that there are people in the world
Annoyed with all the other people in the world
And of all these angry people in the world
I am the angriest boy
when I was sat into the earth in a stream of guts
By mother nature that green eyed slut
I wasent the first to get forced from a cut
One to whom I still shall stay stuck
Staring from the cradle my eyes take in
The baby speak of my brain dead kin
To goo goo googles reflecting the grin
Of a chubbed faced alien
Well if you think I'm being harsh
Well baby keep on counting stars
cause I hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
Upon this cursed earth
then I grew a few hairs where the sun don?t shine
Pack me in a classroom to count the time
Studying the history of mens minds
Chasing tail and committing hate crimes
Rich hippy girl with the gas guzzler
Forced myself to fall in love with her
She was so strung out she swear it never occurred
The honkey king went back on his word
The next one did the same
The blind leading the lame
all together now
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
Upon this cursed earth
how does it make you feel to be wanted (whoa)
How does it make you feel to be one of many
How does it make you feel to be blunted
How does it make you feel (2x)
(i hate) actors who seem genuine
(i hate) my x girlfriend though she?s feminine
(i hate) the singer with the denim shit
I hate everyone
(i hate) that hospital in texas
(i hate) the rapper in the lexus
(i hate) the pills I ate for breakfast
hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
I hate everyone
Cause admired in hypocrisy
Yeah I'm still down with jc
I guess that everyone includes me
And that's why I'm a humanist
YEAH
Annoyed with all the other people in the world

In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
The Night We Met
Lord Huron

This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.
Hey you guys, I think this song is about how Max Bemis hates everyone!
It's "forced from her CUT" Then "Staring from the cradle LET my eyes take in" "SHE'D SWEAR it never occurred" "How does it make you feel to be BLUNTED?" "The singer with the denim SKIN"
Max posted the lyrics himself on his twitter.
is it wierd that i hear "forced from her cunt" every time i hear this song?
realllll lyrics:
when i was spat onto the earth in a stream of guts by mother nature, that green-eyed slut i wasn't the first to get forced from a cut in one to whom i still shall stay stuck staring from the cradle let my eyes take in the baby-speak of my brain dead kin their goo-goo goggles reflecting the grin of a chub-faced alien
well if you think i'm being harsh then baby keep on counting stars because i hate everyone upon this cursed earth
then i grew a few hairs where the sun don't shine they packed me in a classroom to count the time studying the history of men's minds chasing tail and committing hate crimes rich hippie girl with a gas guzzler forced myself to fall in love with her she was so strung out she'd swear it never occurred the honkey king went back on his word
the next one did the same the blind leading the lame all together now: i hate everyone upon this cursed earth
how does it make you feel to be wanted? how does it make you feel to be one of many? how does it make you feel to be blunted? how does it make you feel?
I hate: Actors who seem genuine My ex-girlfriend though she's feminine The singer with the denim skin That hospital in Texas The rapper in the Lexus The pills I ate for breakfast
I'm mired in hypocrisy yet i'm still down with JC I guess that everyone includes me And that's why I'm a humanist
^^ straight from max bemis's twitter.
I'd already posted the correct lyrics for those that needed fixing. If you had just read the single comment that was on here, you would've seen that they were already here and that there was no need to fill the first page with already-mentioned lyric corrections. /I don't mean for this to come off as rude; I'm just saying... for future reference.
shit nigger bitch. <br /> hah SORRY.
I posted these LONG before Max posted them on twitter :* But I saw them. I'm happy I got as close as I did, haha
You are aware that you can edit what you wrote and change them to the correct lyrics. Its kind of lame to keep the wrong lyrics up if someone is trying to learn the song correctly.
i think this song speaks for itself
J.C. stands for Jesus Christ, obviously
I always thought he was being funny and saying Jay-Z. But Jesus is cool too.
...and that's why i'm a humanist :) i love that part. lol.
hypocrisy is spelled wrong, by the way.
hmmm..the "rich hippie girl" part definitely reminds me of the rich girl he talks about in "but a fleeting illness" wonder if its the same person?
green eyed slut is a reference to the green eyed monster in othello i think
hm... i'm having trouble trying to figure out what this is about.
no but really i just wanna who the singer with the denim skin is. max said he's in a "the" band.
He is talking about Brandon Flowers from The Killers. That's what I heard.
