Hey guys. Whats up? I just wanted to put in my 2 cents to this awesome song. I dont know about you all, but the recording of the song that I have starts with a recording of a phone call from someone's (lead singer?) mother. Essentially the mother is calling to make sure the son is alright and to tell him that she loves him.
I think the song is in contrast to the loving care that the mother gives him. He is telling his mother that she should hate him because of what he has done to her, but in spite of that she still cares about him.
i think so yea. because it shows in the music video his mother taking care of him as he grows up and when he is with his prom date so i rlly think it is about his mother. i love this song

Wow, thanks so much for this post and for the replies. I'm a mom with 2 young boys, so I never watch music videos anymore. So I never knew for sure before now. But when I hear this song, IT IS SO DEVASTATING! I can hardly listen to it. It is such a beautiful song, and I love it. But I just think of a son having to say this stuff to his mom, and the sadness of a person going through all these things and then feeling this way toward his mom...and I can hardly catch my breath.

Anyway, this song has made me FEEL more than any other song before.
Lelandros, I do believe you are correct. My daughter passed away less than 4 months ago. After her passing I posted on her facebook and one of her friends posted directly afterwards making reference how my daughter loved this song. I looked it up and listened to it but didnt catch the meaning. I recently made another post, speaking of a memory of a book I found and how I used to read it to her and that same friend posted a link to the youtube version of Hate Me. I listened again, and I heard the beginning of the...

I recently made another post, speaking of a memory of a book I found and how I used to read it to her and that same friend posted a link to the youtube version of Hate Me. I listened again, and I heard the beginning of the message the mother left. Didnt hear that part the first time I listened to the song. I am so f*cking heart broken. She called a few days before she died with concerns she had. She was afraid of the health issues she was facing that I had overcome at her age. She said she was just like me and didnt want to be. I called her the next couple days & left her voice mails that I loved her. She never returned my call. Instead at 530am I receive a txt from my youngest daughter. Mom, wake up, I cant talk on the phone but txt me. Kate OD they think it was on heroin she's on a breathing machine. They found her at 3 something, got her here at 4. She wasnt breathing nor had a beating heart when they found her. I lived 2 hours away. Got there and spent 6 hours watching her die over and over until her heart could no longer take the attacks. She always said she didnt want to be like me. But we both overcame the Hodkins, and I know she would have overcome the possibility of the 2nd cancer if she had been diagnosed with it. She was currently having tests run. God, why did it have to be the addiction that would be the one thing she would change so that she would NOT be like me. How could my baby WANT me to hate her? How could any parent possibly hate their child? I know my baby did not want to die, her actions were accidental. I do know that with all my heart.
As someone who put my parents through plenty of worry and sleepless nights and who now has kids of his own, I can't watch the video without losing my breath. I am so glad my mother is not in her grave with an answer machine on top of her and that she can see that I have turned out okay. It's never too late to sort yourself out. Asking parents to hate you wont work, they wont stop loving you and you will have to answer to yourself for all of the pain you put them through. This is the...

The part of the video that gets me the most is when he walks down the stairs after watching his mother care for him as a baby and small child and sees his mother lifting his head up as he is passed out on drink and or drugs. Love really does hurt.
And the lines: "And like a baby boy I never was a man, until I saw your blue eyes cry...And then she whispered 'how could you do this to me.'" are devastating.
