Hate me is about wanting to be released from grief, both for the dead and the living losses of your life.

lyrics

Where's my baby? She's crying out for me
I hear the feelin'
She's dyin in her sleep
Waves are crashing Pounding in my veins
Her eyes are fadin'; she's hangin' on to me

Oh Hate me Valerie; I need a reason to get up off my knees
Oh shake me Valerie
I need the needle; Your awful offering
Oh hate me

Though I can't see it; You've been here all along
Standin' in the corner; With nothin on
I can't believe it there's nothin else to say
I hope I see you before you walk away

Oh Hate me Valerie; I need a reason to get up off my knees
Oh shake me Valerie
I need the needle; Your awful offering
Oh hate me

Beggin for forgiveness; Beggin you to stay
Oh please don't leave me baby; Baby don't leave this way
I'm afraid I'm dyin'; I'm scared of every day
My eyes won't open; No matter what I say so

Hate me Valerie; I need a reason to get up off my knees
Oh shake me Valerie
I need the needle; Your awful offering
Oh hate me
