I Hate Myself
Self-Destruction Symphony: Yearning and Chaos in Rick Springfield's Melody
Lyrics
My so called friends all quit without a kiss goodbye
Feeling abandoned as friends leave abruptly without a farewell.
Everybody thinks I’m a creep and so do I
Perceived as a social outcast, acknowledging his own self-judgment.
I think that you all think that I’m insane
Believing that others see him as mentally unstable.
And you’re the weak link in my chain
Considering someone else as the weak link in his life.
I’ll climb on your cross
Willing to bear the burden or consequences, using religious imagery.
Go ahead and crucify me
Open to criticism and punishment, possibly related to the desire for love.
Because I hate myself
Expressing self-hatred, possibly due to personal flaws or mistakes.
Cause I want you
Desiring a romantic connection despite self-loathing.
I hate myself
Reiterating a strong dislike for oneself alongside the desire for love.
I’m a one man wreckin crew
Identifying as a destructive force in relationships.
You’re so bad for me, I’m like a dead man walkin
Acknowledging a toxic relationship with someone harmful.
So let’s connect real soon and get em all talkin
Proposing a future meeting to create gossip or discussion.
I’ll circle the wagons around your bed
Defending his stance and beliefs around the person's bed.
And prove I’m right with everything I've said
Asserting the correctness of his opinions and actions.
I hate myself
Repeating the theme of self-hatred, emphasizing the desire for love.
Cause I want you
Expressing a conflicting desire for someone despite self-hatred.
I hate myself
Affirming a strong dislike for oneself alongside the desire for love.
I’m a one man wreckin crew
Identifying as a destructive force in relationships, repeating the theme.
Damn the danger, the scandal too
Disregarding potential harm or scandal, willing to pursue the desired person.
Burning down, I’m black and blue
Experiencing emotional turmoil and physical distress.
I hate myself
Reiterating self-hatred while maintaining the desire for love.
But I want you
Acknowledging the internal conflict of self-hatred and the desire for the person.
I hate myself
Repeating the strong sentiment of self-hatred.
I hate myself
Continuing the expression of intense self-loathing.
I hate myself
Reiterating the theme of self-hatred multiple times.
I hate myself
Emphasizing the intense dislike for oneself.
Because I hate myself
Repeating the idea of self-hatred, linking it to the desire for love.
Cause I want you
Expressing the conflicted desire for the person despite self-loathing.
I hate myself
Reiterating the strong self-hatred along with the desire for love.
I’m a one man wreckin crew
Identifying as a destructive force in relationships, repeating the theme.
You’re bad for me, I’m bad for you
Acknowledging the mutual harm in the relationship.
My big breakdown your big breakthrough
Highlighting a significant moment of personal and relational breakdown.
I hate myself
Repeating the strong sentiment of self-hatred alongside the desire for love.
But I want you
Affirming the conflicting desire for the person despite intense self-loathing.
