Fear The Gates
Love's Demise: Embracing Hate in the Shadows
Lyrics
I tortured
I subjected someone to torment or anguish
Another buck
I exploited another person for financial gain
I threw it in
I placed the exploited individual into a system or situation, expecting a return, but it didn't reciprocate
The machine, but it won't pay me back
The system or situation did not yield the expected benefits or rewards
I laugh at you and what you feel
The speaker mocks or derides someone else's emotions or experiences
You knocked me over, kept it real
Despite being affected negatively by another person, that person remained authentic or genuine
My love for you has more than died
The speaker's love for the other person has deteriorated significantly
I hate you now, I curse your eyes
The speaker now feels intense dislike or hostility towards the other person and wishes harm upon them
And in our darkness
Despite the negativity in the relationship, the other person can still perceive positive qualities in the speaker
You still see some good in me
Recollection of the shared journey or experiences
The way we went
The downward spiral of the relationship
Down
The decline or descent of the relationship
Doesn't work that well, you see??
The decline of the relationship wasn't effective or successful
I pity you and all your hopes
The speaker feels sorrow or compassion towards the other person and their aspirations
Just lift your eyes, see me go
Encouragement for the other person to witness the speaker leaving or departing
Love does come in many shades
Recognition that love can manifest in various forms, but the specific love between them has vanished
But ours are gone... I hate you
The speaker's feelings have transformed into hatred towards the other person
I'll wait till you will awake
The speaker will wait until the other person becomes aware
I'll be your guide into hate
The speaker will serve as a guide towards intense dislike or hostility
And as if dawns you will never see
As a new day emerges, the other person will not witness the speaker or the speaker's possessions ever again
Me or mine ever again
The complete absence of the speaker and their belongings from the other person's life
All my thoughts were of us
The speaker's thoughts were predominantly focused on the relationship, but now they belong to the past, associated with suffering
But now that's way back in hell
The memories or considerations of the relationship are distant and unpleasant
Take the bus
A suggestion for the other person to depart via a bus
But make sure enough
The speaker wants to ensure their absence from the same bus
That I'm not riding there
The speaker does not want any encounter or interaction during the journey
And by the way
An additional comment, mentioning the speaker's absence from the transportation
Yeah my phone is dead
The speaker's phone is not functional, possibly avoiding communication deliberately
Do you think about why??
Challenging the other person to contemplate the reason behind the speaker's avoidance or withdrawal
I'm so way over you
The speaker has moved past or gotten over the other person emotionally
