To this song is about feeling like an outcast, like everyone hates you. But you refuse to try and become like them because you know it would all be a lie. it would never be good enough.
"I'd rather hate you for everything you are
Than ever love you for something you are not
I'd rather you hate me for everything I am
Than have you love me for something that I am not."
This means to me that you would rather see who people really are and have them see who you really are and hate each other than pretend to be someone else just to get people to like you.
