Hate Lyrics

This is my favorite song by Cat Power. Uhhh.. It's pretty self explanatory.

Just thought I'd like to point out for the few people who don't realize it, "I hate myself and want to die" is a song by Nirvana.

The most interesting lyrics, in my opinion, are "there's no laws or rules to unchain your life" which I think means, there's no one thing that will make everyone's life better, worth living.

and "the other half is innocent, the other half is wise..." I think that means that when someobody wants to kill themselves, it's because they are usually an innocent or naive person. Somebody who expected more than what they got out of their life. At the same time, they are being being wise by now understanding what the world is really like and that not everything works out for the best or "greater good".

"The heart wants to explode, far away, where nobody knows..." Wow.
