James Lyrics
Close your eyes
hit the ground
I want you to, to kneel all day
alone in this desolate cave
So I said
Scream if you want to
Cause no one is around
I want you to
To scream all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
How I love to hate you! (repeat)
not so brave
When I'm the snke
And you're my prey
Let me tell you I'll eat all day
Alone in this desolate cave
So I say
Squeal if you want to
Cause no
no one is around
I want you to
To squeal all day
Cause there's eleven words that I've rehearsed to say
How I love to hate you!(repeat)
James, how I love to hate you
Oh, how I love
How I love to hate you...
I know that this song was written about Justin's former best friend. But to me this song has a totally different meaning. I was molested by a man named James when I was a child. This is my venting song. I'm glad they didn't go into alot of details. It leaves the song open to interpretation.
that was my interpretation as well. justin adds bits and pieces in his songs that certainly sound that way to me. "Angel" in particular..

"How do you hold the special victim? When they push you away When they've been Raped on the inside Torn on the outside The dirt and ugly from the stain that they try to hide Touched in private places Embarassed faces To scared to ask for help"

this seems like too much to be figurtive language.

The eleven words he has rehearsed to say are not sung. The phrase is: "James, how I love to hate you. James you f***ing prick." =)
who is James in this song? I don't understand why he hates this person. Its a cool song but it would be better if i knew what he was really talking about.
Definitely not a love song. James was his friend, then did something that made Justin (lead singer) hate him, simple as that.
James was Justin's former best friend, who a girlfriend cheated on him with. This song is his reaction to the ultimate betrayal.
its a song about anger a song about hating someone so much betrayal its on the dvd argue with a tree
You know, the strange thing about this song, was right when I was getting into this band, I ran into a real prick... his name.... James...
Have any of you ever read the Twilight saga? Well, Stephanie Meyer (the author) is a huge fan of Blue October. In the saga there is a vampire that wants to kill Bella, his name is James. Meyer has said in many interviews that she listened to our Blue buddies while writing the book, I'm just wondering if maybe this song could have had any effect on the hated character in the series, I mean come on... she has said it herself that she is obsessive over Blue October. I think it is a huge possibility. If you have read any of the books, send me an email or IM telling me what you think; I would love some further insight into this. hxcnuggets@aim.com
hxcnuggets, you could be right, but really, Twilight is such a poorly written book-- there's no way Stephanie Meyer could come close to describing the hatred that is expressed in this song. Anyway, yeah, I agree with everyone who mentioned James being Justin's childhood friend... really fun song to listen to, if you don't mind a little anger. >:)
Thanks for the dig at Twilight. It needed to be said. Even though Stephanie Meyer references Blue October, it's not like that's the new meaning of the song. I mean, contrary to pop culture, Twilight is not the meaning of life. =]

Who would ever do such a terrible thing lol... to even say the words 'Blue October' and 'Twilight' in the same sentence? Besides my own question, obviously :-P OR perhaps 'unlike blue october, Twilight is complete shit'

S.M. and J.F. shouldnt be compared in a literary sense at all. her books (twilight sega) have a decent plot but im discouraged by her low diction. her books should not be classified under young adult but rather child horror or next to the "goosebumps".

furthermore, james (twilight) was interested in a cat&mouse chase, so, why even consider that there could be as much feeling as justin expresses??

this song isnt only torturing james because of what he did to justin,I think justin know not everyone was cheated on by james or had his girlfriend cheat on him with james,I think justin knew everyones felt this way,everyone has had someone that they just want to torture for what theyve done
