Blue October: Hate Me Meaning
Hate Me Lyrics
If your dreaming are you dreaming of me?
I can't believe you actually picked me.)
(”Hi Justin, this is your mother, and it's 2:33 on Monday afternoon.
I was just calling to see how you were doing.
You...

I think the song is about a guy addicted to drugs, alcohol, or both,telling his mother or girlfriend(depending on the listener's interpretation)to move on with their life because he's a lost cause.He wants to be sober, or maybe is now, but knows that he has caused to much pain to them.He just can't be the person he knows they want him to be and is sorry for putting them through hell because of it.If they would "hate him", he wouldn't be a burden to them, and he wouldn't feel so guilty.

So I want to say that the music video doesn't fit this song at all. This cd(foiled) is about a man leaving his girlfriend(whom he loves) because he's bad for her, and eventually moving on and realizing there are better girls out there for him.
This song does start with the lead singer's mother calling because she's concerned about him, but the song isn't about her. The song is about jason(the lead singer) cutting ties with his girlfriend, and wanting her to hate him so that she won't want to be with him and end up ruining her own life. -
The interpretation done by macayla on 10-16-2006 at 18:21 is perfect. The article explaining this by Justin himself is also in guitar world issued october 2006.

It's about her son being an alcoholic, and never returned her calls, or talked to her much, and then when he finally decided to get sober, was when he came to reality when she died.("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")
it's pretty obvious.

In the album version you hear the phone message
that his moms leaves, and then you can hear like
kids saying "cant beleive your dead, dead, dead".
And then the song starts.
Makes me wonder if his mother died, because at the end of the song there's "just make her smile come back and shine just like it used to be" -
I do think it's about his mother. I think he cared deeply for her and maybe she passed and there's some things he wishes he could have told his mother before but now he lets it out and says the best way to move on is to hate me that way he won't be cared about and have to remember. Really touching song..

I listened to justin's (lead singer) interpretation of hate me on blue october's myspace page, and the song to him is about all his life having such a great mother, and all he does is take advantage of that love and fuck up a lot. The video progresses from the bed to the funeral, where his mother has died and he is remembering how much he didn't appreciate it, and how he wants all the pain to fall on him, i.E. To "hate me". However, by the end of the video, he is actually eating dinner on the patio with his mother. Justin says this video shows his real life, except his mother is actually alive, which means he can make their relationship right, and that hypothetically if his mother had died all that guilt would have driven him crazy. He's saying "don't treat your mother like this or she'll be gone before you can make it right."

Let's stop being idiotic. The song is not about his mother dying. The interpretation from 08/09/2006 at (I think) 11:27 was correct. The bit from his mother in the beginning just got thrown in with the song during editing. Those of you who know this song only by the video, and not by being an actual blue october fan, are ridiculous. Anyone who is a blue october fan knows the true origin of this song.

The song is about justin(lead singer) having a dream about his brain melting. When he woke up it was reality. In the video,he's lying on the floor with his mom holding his head and crying. That's when he lost it. In the song were it says "you never doubted my warped oppinions on things like suicide or hate" he's talking about how she was an influence on him staying alive. Also the song is an appology to all tne people he wronged while he was in rehab or some kind of place like that. I know that part is true because it was in one of the additions of revolver magazine. It's true I didn't check though. Don't really feel like it. Revolver's awsome. It's true,i checked.

I saw the video for this song and I was really confused until I was just listening to it: in the video the singer is singing to an "older" woman (I think to be his mother), and you see him at a graveyard looking at a casket or tomb I can't remember which and he says "ill drive so ****ing far away" I think he's committed suicide (u you never doubted my warped opinions about suicide or hate; the two things the song is about) and he wants his mom to hate him so she won't miss him because he hated himself and just hurt her.

The song's about his mother and justin's relationship. He was in a 12 step drug addiction program and feels as though he's ruined their relationship.

"I think the song is about either the son or the mother passing away. The son committed suicide from all of his troubles and wants the mother to forget about him. Or the mother died and the song is apologizing to her. He is so hurt that he doesn't want to think of her"
it's about a son and mother~in the end the mother dies. -
I belive that this song is about a son that has been doing drugs or drinking alcohol for a long time and has caused problems for his mother. He has been sober for a few months but he still feels guilty about all that he has done and doesn't think that he will be able to make it through. He is apologizing to his mother for all the trouble that he has caused and is about to cause. I also think that he is about to commit suicide to make his mom feel better. And so she doesn't have to worry he is writing this song to tell her that he is sorry and he is doing this for her so things will be better. I think by the end of the song he actually kills himself and his mom is calling for him.
