Hate Me

Great song by a band from Houston. Exceptional lyrics, far beyond what I would expect from today's music scene.

And it sums it all up... trying to push someone away because that is what's best for them. How many of us believe that we are cursed, that our touch is the anti-Midas touch? How everything we come into contact with is doomed to fail? So we push people away so they won't get hurt... or maybe we push people away so that we won't get hurt. We desperately avoid taking another chance because it's simply not worth the pain in the end.

Humans wage war against others because we wage war within ourselves. There's the part of us that we love pitted against the part of us that we hate. And we transfer all that we hate to someone else so that we don't have to look too hard at ourselves. We hate others because we hate ourselves, and, in essence, we make the whole world our scapegoats for our own inadequacies.
