I Wanna Hate You
Embracing the Shadows: Unraveling the Complex Emotions in 'I Wanna Hate You'
Lyrics
I'm awake, for the first time in a long time
I've just woken up from a long period of feeling detached or unaware.
I'm afraid, to find out what all I've missed
I'm scared to discover what I might have missed during that time.
I've been living through each day,
My life has been progressing, but I keep dwelling on the past.
Reminiscing about the last
Reflecting on previous experiences.
It's a stretch to think I'd ever forgive you
Finding it hard to imagine ever forgiving the person.
But I don't wanna talk about it now
Not ready to discuss feelings or issues at the moment.
I need some time to figure it out
Require time to comprehend my emotions.
I wanna hate you,
Expressing a desire to feel animosity toward someone.
For everything you've done to me
Wishing to resent the person for their actions towards me.
This disaster you're after never worked for me,
Their pursuit of chaos or trouble didn't benefit me.
The way it worked for you
It benefited them in a way that didn't work out positively for me.
I can take, the shifting of the fault lines
Capable of enduring difficulties or shifts in responsibility.
I won't break, no matter how it all shakes out
Confident in my ability to withstand upheavals.
Through the crumbling of the buildings,
Despite challenges and the time it takes to recover.
& The time it takes to rebuild
Referencing both physical and emotional rebuilding.
On repeat, this cycle never ends
Feeling stuck in a repetitive cycle.
But I don't wanna talk about it now
Similar to line 7 - unwilling to address matters presently.
I need more time to figure it out
Requiring more time to understand the situation.
I wanna hate you,
Reiterating the wish to harbor hatred toward someone.
For everything you've done to me
Continuing the sentiment from line 11.
This disaster you're after never worked for me,
Repeating the idea that their actions caused havoc for me.
The way it worked for you
Highlighting the disparity in how their actions affected us differently.
I wanna blame you,
Expressing a desire to assign blame to the person.
For all that's become of me
Holding the person responsible for the negative changes in my life.
This attraction hasn't ever circled back to me,
Their allure or appeal never returned to benefit me.
The way it has for you
The way their appeal or actions did for them.
I just can't see it through
Struggling to comprehend or accept the situation.
& I've tried to forgive you,
Attempted to pardon or excuse their actions but failed.
But there's nothing you can do
Feeling there's no resolution or redemption possible.
I wanna hate you,
Reiterating the desire to hold animosity toward someone.
For everything you've done to me
Repeating the wish to resent the person for their actions.
This disaster you're after never worked for me,
Reiterating the negative impact of their actions on the speaker.
The way it worked for you
Emphasizing the disparity in how the situation affected both parties.
I wanna blame you,
Continuing the desire to assign blame to the person.
For all that's become of me
Continuing to hold the person responsible for their current state.
This attraction hasn't ever circled back to me,
Reiterating the lack of benefit or positive return from the person's actions.
The way it has for you
Emphasizing the disparity in how the situation affected both parties, similar to lines 27 and 40.
