Lyrics

I hate you

Expressing strong dislike or resentment towards someone

I hate you, I do

Reiterating a strong feeling of hatred

I hate that

Expressing dislike for a specific quality or aspect

You're the one who can

Acknowledging the influence of the person addressed

Make me feel gorgeous

Attributing the ability to evoke a positive self-image

With just just a flick of your finger

Describing the ease with which the person can impact emotions

It is that easy

Emphasizing the simplicity of the emotional impact


Yes there was a time

Reflecting on a past period where the person faced resistance

You didn't always get your way

Highlighting a previous lack of compliance

Back there where my heart

Referring to a time when emotions were more guarded

Was not so easy to invade

Describing emotional vulnerability

When my battlements were strong

Metaphorically referencing emotional defenses

Before the Pilgrims came

Historical reference to a time before significant changes

Don't forget you were the one

Reminding the person of their past affection

Who loved my wild way

Acknowledging appreciation for an unconventional nature


I hate you

Reiterating a strong feeling of hatred

I hate you I do

Emphasizing continued intense dislike

I hate that

Expressing dislike for a specific quality or aspect

I turn into a kind

Describing a negative transformation in character

Some kind of monster

Characterizing oneself as a monstrous entity

With just just a flick of your finger

Reiterating the ease with which the person can evoke emotions

It is that easy

Emphasizing the simplicity of the emotional impact


Of course there was a time

Reflecting on a past period where the person faced resistance

You didn't always get your way

Highlighting a previous lack of compliance

Back there where my heart

Referring to a time when emotions were more guarded

Was not so easy to invade

Describing emotional vulnerability

When my battlements were strong

Metaphorically referencing emotional defenses

Before the pilgrims came

Historical reference to a time before significant changes

Don't forget you were the one

Reminding the person of their past affection

Who loved my wild way

Acknowledging appreciation for an unconventional nature


I hate you

Reiterating a strong feeling of hatred

I hate you I do

Emphasizing continued intense dislike

I hate that

Expressing dislike for a specific quality or aspect

You're the one who can

Acknowledging the influence of the person addressed

Make me feel gorgeous

Attributing the ability to evoke a positive self-image

With just just a flick of your finger

Describing the ease with which the person can impact emotions

It is that easy

Emphasizing the simplicity of the emotional impact

To hate you

Expressing the ease of hating the person

To hate you

Reiterating the ease of feeling hatred
