I heard radio.wazee spin this track a few times now. Something about the flow of the song appeals to me.
I never heard of the band before, but apparently they already have 5 albums out, including this year’s Foiled, where this track came from. 5 albums for a relatively unknown band (at least over this side of the world), now that’s something noteworthy.
Download: Blue October - Hate Me (MP3 format)
P/S: The MP3 is slightly different from the version played in radio.wazee. It doesn’t have the intro part and it’s censored. Oh well, it’s hard to get hold of this MP3 as it is. Enjoy.
Hate Me
by Blue October
from Foiled (2006)
(Intro) Mother: Hi Justin! This is your mother it is 2:33 on Monday afternoon. I was just calling to see how you were doing. You sounded really uptight last night, it made me a little nervous, and a little, well it made me nervous, but it sounded like you were nervous too. I just want to make sure you are really okay and wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication too. You know I love ya. Take care honey, I know you’re under a lot of pressure. See ya. Bye Bye!
I have to block out thoughts of you, so i don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There’s a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you, Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
I’m sober now for 3 whole months, it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing that I won’t touch again
In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I’ll never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
And when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I have made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away, just make it stop!”
Come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How could you did this to me?”
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
There are a few inaccuracies in your lyrics.
Here are some corrections:
I have to block out thoughts of you, so i don’t loose my head
should be:
I have to block out thoughts of you, so i don’t lose my head
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted this
should be:
And will you never try to reach me, it is I that wanted space
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
should be:
In my sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
And then I found out I can’t make it go away, just make it stop
should be:
And then I fell down yelling “make it go away, just make it stop!”
Thanks Anonymous! Lyrics edited.
Hey, I think the part about “Just make it stop” is actually “Just make a smile come back and shine the way it used to be”………….but ya’know, I could be wrong…..:)
i think tori is right…but im not even sure! i luv the song tho
this song rules
“You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take”
Dunno, doesn’t sound right…
“Hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow”
Correct:
Hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow
^^,! I also Agree with tori, I know it says smile, but i dont know about the other words :3
i absolutely HATE THIS STUPIS SONG its too mushy and complainy! it is gay they play it on the edge sssooo much. i despise its very escence.
Umm natalie why don’t you get a life and learn how to spell. Your the one that is STUPID. You can’t even spell, so why can you judge? I love this song and think that it is great just the way it is. I love the expressions and the true feelings. Many people (including me) can relate to this song. The Edge plays it so much because it is a good song and people are requesting it. But I do guess that every one is entitled to their own oppinion so, yeah. Sorry to be so blunt but that’s how I feel and I have an oppionion too. Love KITTY :)!!
I think “And when the sad hard eyes say bye to you and wave” is actually “And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave”.
And I also think Tori is right on the smile business. I am listening to this song right now, so I’ve been checking.
Also, I don’t know how it is for others, but in my version the first chorus is the same as the second.
Does anyone know what the background voice is saying at the end?
I am in love with this song. I think it’s a very wonderful, very deep song.I played it on repeat for an hour when I first heard it. I have one question, the first time I heard this song was the CD version, and I noticed the version I downloaded was the edited and changed version which I don’t like, is there any site anyone knows I can download the CD version? But yes, awesome song. One of the best I have heard in such a long while.
This song is about a son who is holding tight to his mothers feeling whom he never could please until he has pushed her so far away. The words at the end are from a song on the american pie allbum called calling you- it says “if you’re sleeping are you dreaming, if you’re dreaming are you dreaming of me. I can’t believe you actually picked me” it is the outgoing message on the answering machine before his mother leaves her message. the song is about the relationship burned due to alcaholism and that he never could quit even after a suicide attempt and then pushing his mother so far away and then she passed away and all he has is the message she left on the machine. Very deep song. I have the album and the album version. the music video version is ten times better but can’t seem to find it in MP3 or .Wav. anyonew know if its out there.
hate me and wait, yeah wait for it to swallow should be:
hate me in ways, yeah ways hard to swallow….

If you download the iTunes version from the album, at the beginning and end it plays a grainy version of another song of theirs called “Calling You”. Its a beautiful song about a new relationship, and the irony of having it before and after this song is great.
I too want to know what the person is yelling at the end of the song.
I don’t think the song is about a mother/son relationship. I think its talking about the end of the relationship started in the “Calling You” song.
edit: i think the person on the end of the song is just yelling, “Hey Justin!” over and over again. The lead singer’s name is Justin, I found out.
Yeah, they are yelling “Hey, Justin!” but I just don’t know what the song is about. I’ve been told so many different things, I hate when that happens. Though sitll, I really love this song, and always shall.
i just read an interview with justin, and he says that the song is indeed about a failed relationship due to alcohol, drugs, and suicidal tendencies. the reason they have the mom’s message at the beginning is to illustrate that it wasn’t just his actions in the relationship that caused the problems, it was also the fact that he stopped talking to his parents and becoming paranoid and whatever.
Ha joe, i wonder if you still check your blog, but i was just looking for this song on google and guess what i found!!
Thanks so much!
Bruce, my generous host! I’m not in trouble am I?
Hey,
I think this song is about a guy and his girlfriend. He knows he is not good for her and wants her to hate him so she doesnt have to go through as much pain. He still loves her but he cant give her what she needs. He has his issues and doesnt know how to express or deal with them. He hates himself and doesn’t want to bring her down to his level
Maybe
This song is amazing and very close to my heart, it has so much meaning. I absolutely love it.
Here are the actaul lyrics, and this song kicks @ss!
(If you’re sleeping are you dreaming
If your dreaming are you dreaming of me?
I can’t believe you actually did this.)
(â€Hi Justin, this is your mother, and it’s 2:33 on Monday afternoon.
I was just calling to see how you ware doing.
You sounded real uptight last night.
It made me a little nervous, and a little… and… well… it made me nervous, it sounded like you were nervous, too.
I just wanted to make sure you were really OK,
And wanted to see if you were checking in on your medication.
You know I love you, and…
Take care hunny
I know you’re under a lot of pressure.
See ya. Bye byeâ€)
I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head
They crawl in like a cockroach leaving babies in my bed
Dropping little reels of tape to remind me that I’m alone
Playing movies in my head that make a porno feel like home
There’s a burning in my pride, a nervous bleeding in my brain
An ounce of peace is all I want for you. Will you never call again?
And will you never say that you love me just to put it in my face?
And will you never try to reach me?
It is I that wanted space
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
I’m sober now for 3 whole months it’s one accomplishment that you helped me with
The one thing that always tore us apart is the one thing I won’t touch again
In a sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night
While I was busy waging wars on myself, you were trying to stop the fight
You never doubted my warped opinions on things like suicidal hate
You made me compliment myself when it was way too hard to take
So I’ll drive so fucking far away that I never cross your mind
And do whatever it takes in your heart to leave me behind
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
And with a sad heart I say bye to you and wave
Kicking shadows on the street for every mistake that I had made
And like a baby boy I never was a man
Until I saw your blue eyes cry and I held your face in my hand
And then I fell down yelling “Make it go away!â€
Just make a smile come back and shine just like it used to be
And then she whispered “How can you do this to me?â€
Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn’t do for you
Hate me in ways
Yeah ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what’s good for you
For you
For you
For you
[Children voices:]
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming,
if you’re dreaming are you dreaming of me.
I can’t believe you actually did this
[Girl:] Hey Justin! [x12]
actually, at the beginning and end, the lyrics for calling you go as such:
If you’re sleeping, are you dreaming,
if you’re dreaming are you dreaming of me.
I can’t believe you actually picked me
Beleive Shanaon And Sad Brow Eyes.
That is what the song is about.
Also you should watch the music video.
It’s a great video
I really think its a mother-son relationship song. The beginning message is a worried mother trying to help her son out with an overcoming abuse.
“Have you been taking your medication”
medication is used for rehab.
Hes been sober for 3 months, drugs or alcohol.
He feels he needs to go, he feels he lost all hope in their relationship. he wishes it could be better but something so broken cant be fixed.
Alcohol destroys this type of relationship, i know im experiencing it
Oh what a fantastic song. I’ve just ended a 22 year relationship (ha and I’m only 38) with a man that is an alcoholic. This song just makes me weep with the wanting for people who choose (or get sucked into) alcohol over loved ones to listen and learn.
yeah i think this song could go realationship or mother/son way. just listening to the lyrics it sounds like a realationship and it always made me think of my last one. but after watching the video i do think they intended for it 2 be directed towards mother/son. It really just depends on what the listener is feeling at the time.
Great song that really alerts people that it will be too late one day. When we growing up, we often accuse our parents of depriving us of our space, of not “understanding” us, etc. We abuse their love and only when it’s too late we do feel tremendous guilt. This song illustrates it in the genuis way: he goes through unbearable amount of quilt, that he managed to start feeling too late… He is trying to get rid of it. Beautiful song. Call your Mom now…
Just wondering if anyone else who downloaded the song from here has it play the first four seconds then restart and play the complete song?
I do believe that it’s “In MY sick way I want to thank you for holding my head up late at night,” instead of “In A sick way” And also, “Hey, Justin!” is repeated 21 times (Not that it really matters, I just thought I’d get my two cents in
)
it makes me cry ._. brings back memories alot
this song is about his mom who died thats the point of her on it he is saying that she did so much for him and he dosent feel like he did alot for her.
I just love this song so damm much.. Its a great deep song. It helped my boyfriend after 13 years or drugs and alcholo think about alot and actually put himself in a program.. BLUE OCTOBER ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
love lyrics
I Googled for something completely different, but found your page…and have to say thanks. nice read.
i love this song
I have read the lyrics of this song and watched the video. This is what I believe the song’s lyrics mean. The song is about a mother and son. The son is going through recovery for drugs, alcohol, etc. and is beginning to realize what he actually put his mother through. He states “I have to block out thoughts of you so I don’t lose my head,” since he is so ashamed. He is so ashamed about his past actions, which caused his mother grief, that he further says, “There’s a burning in my pride” (when he thinks of his past actions.)Moreover, he remembers how his mother’s frequent deeds made him not commit suicide, however he is now going through a recovery and thoughts of killing himself are increasing. Therefore, he wants his mother to forget about him so that he can finally commit suicide. Furthermore, he realizes that he has caused the figurative death of his mother because of his actions; she gave up her life to try to save his and the many stresses have exhausted her. Now, since he has realized this, he wants to escape and cause her no more harm and carry out his plans of commiting suicide. This is why in the video he sets down the answering machine in the grave yard. The answering machine symbolizes the only way of communication between the two, and without that communication he can finally commit suicide. This action foreshadows his future actions of suicide.Therefore, in the end she states “How can you do this to me.” Since he has left his mom to end his life.
