Until You Hate Me

from Defying Gravity by Kevin Coem

/

about

I wanted this track to showcase darkness, despair and loneliness, and I worked hard to accomplish that while making it pop enough so people would want to listen to it more than once. The chorus is especially powerful, and there's an amazing melody inspired by Chinese folk music that makes it stand out a lot, together with a set of distorted guitar chords.

The lyrics talk about feeling exactly what I wanted to showcase music-wise: darkness, despair and loneliness. I think the line "I'mma love you until you hate me" is particularly meaningful, because it expresses not only the idea of being there for everyone while feeling like no one is there for you, but also the fear of becoming more and more disliked and unbearable the more you let others get to know you.

lyrics

I don't know where I'm lying down
But it's warm here, by your side
I can't tell what's right or wrong
I'm no longer starry eyed

If you want us to get physical
Make it fast and easy
I'll play pretend and say it's okay
Even though I know it's not

The more I'm growing old the more I wanna die
I'm saying "you're the one" over and over
The game of make-believe is not enough for me
I'll say what you don't wanna hear

I'mma love you until you hate me
Eh eh eh, eh eh eh
I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me
Eh eh eh, eh eh eh
I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me

I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me
I'mma... I'mma tell some lies

My mind is playing a game I can't control anymore
You can fuck me up, fuck me up, I'm okay
As long as you keep texting me

The more I'm growing old the more I wanna cry
I'm saying "stay with me" over and over
The game of make-believe is not enough for me
I'll say what you don't wanna hear

I'mma love you until you hate me
Eh eh eh, eh eh eh
I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me

My body's getting numb now
It's like I'm not even myself now

You can say whatever's on your mind
You can do what you've never ever tried
'Cause I'm okay, I can't feel no pain anymore

I'mma love you until you hate me
Eh eh eh, eh eh eh
I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me
Eh eh eh, eh eh eh
I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me

I'mma... I'mma...
I'mma love you until you hate me
I'mma... I'mma tell some lies
