Lyric discussion by The Day After Last 

Cover art for Empty Promises lyrics by Behind Crimson Eyes

I think that someone close to him did something really harsh or nasty and he wants to hate them, probably someone he loves, cause he can't hate them and he's yearning for them to tell him it's all right that it was an accident and all. and he's sought for revenge and hates whats he's done "what has become of me?"
