Learn To Hate Lyrics

I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationship could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law

Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's all uphill you've gotta climb

You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores

As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
So I don't have to use this gun

Hate might be the first thought at face value of what this song might be about when you first hear it. But its NOT. It's about silly immuture and chauvinistic hate. Very angsty song, definitely one of the best.

I think thi is sooooo simple: The guy likes a girl who is a drug addict and he is between his love and the desire to end it and, in the process, her. That's what I think...

@rkcI reckon Daniel wrote it about himself. Natalie Imbruglia was on the scene at this point and she was no junky.

OK, this song is so powerful, and can be taken in so many different ways. I have a quote here from Daniel Johns as to what the song is about :

"It's just about like, hate and stuff, and how people hate other people for silly reasons." - Daniel Johns......

"Hating you should be introduced as a new law" would have to be among the most clever lyrics Daniel ever wrote. This song is so thrashy and angry. Pretty awesome!

Definitely about a guy (duh), liking a girl, but f--king hating the guy who she is with, and every embodiment of him.
