I HATE EVERYBODY
Halsey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah, all my empathy's a disaster
Feeling something like a scaly thing
Wrapped too tightly 'round my own master
My friends are getting bored of me
Saying I fell in love with a stranger
I don't know what they all think of me
Remember anything but thinking you're the one
And I can force a future like it's nothing, so I
Just hate everybody
Well then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really I could fall in love with anybody
Who don't want me, so I just keep saying
I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't
I know I've got a tendency
To exaggerate what I'm seeing
And I know that it's unfair on me
To make a memory
Out of a feeling
It's 'cause I notice every single thing
That's ever happening in the moment
And I don't know why it's consuming me
Because honestly all I know is
Infatuations, observation with a cause
But none of it is love so while I'm waiting for it
I'll hate everybody
Well then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really I could fall in love with anybody
Who don't want me, so I just keep saying
I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't
If I could make you love me
Maybe you could make me love me
And if I can't make you love me
Then I'll just hate everybody
Everybody
Well then why can't I go home without somebody?
And really I could fall in love with anybody
Who don't want me, so I just keep saying
I hate everybody
But maybe I, maybe I don't
In "i hATe evERybOdY," Halsey introspects on her own struggles with self-sabotage and unfulfilled relationships. The song captures the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of negative self-perception and wishing for someone to love her, yet pushing everyone away.
The chorus "I hate everybody, Well then why can't I go home without somebody? And really I could fall in love with anybody Who don't want me, so I just keep saying I hate everybody But maybe I, maybe I don't" encapsulates the push and pull between wanting to love someone but fearing being vulnerable, and the frustration of not understanding why she can't find a meaningful connection.
Verse two, "I know I've got a tendency To exaggerate what I'm seeing And I know that it's unfair on me To make a memory Out of a feeling," suggests that her expectations are often unrealistic and that she may be blowing things out of proportion. She notices every detail, which leads to her obsessing over them and turning them into more than they are.
The outro with the repeated line, "If I could make you love me, maybe you could make me love me" highlights how the singer feels that external validation from a partner would fix her issues with self-love.
Overall, "i hATe evERybOdY" is a raw and honest self-reflection on the complexities of relationships and fluctuating self-esteem.

I'm my own biggest enemy
I tend to sabotage myself
Yeah, all my empathy's a disaster
I struggle to connect with people emotionally
Feeling something like a scaly thing
I feel like something's crawling under my skin
Wrapped too tightly 'round my own master
I'm stuck in my own head
My friends are getting bored of me
I feel like my friends are losing interest in me
Saying I fell in love with a stranger
My friends think I'm infatuated with someone new
I don't know what they all think of me
I'm unsure of my friends' opinions of me
But in reality I don't even
But honestly, I don't care
Remember anything but thinking you're the one
All I can think about is this one person
And I can force a future like it's nothing, so I
I feel like I have control over my future
Just hate everybody
I'm feeling angry and disconnected from others
Well then why can't I go home without somebody?
I feel like I need someone to be with me all the time
And really I could fall in love with anybody
I feel like I could have feelings for anyone who shows me attention
Who don't want me, so I just keep saying
I keep pushing people away because I'm afraid of rejection
I hate everybody
I'm struggling with feelings of resentment towards others
But maybe I, maybe I don't
But maybe I don't actually hate everybody, deep down
I know I've got a tendency
I have a habit of
To exaggerate what I'm seeing
blowing things out of proportion
And I know that it's unfair on me
I'm hard on myself
To make a memory
To create an impression in my mind
Out of a feeling
Based on a passing emotion
It's 'cause I notice every single thing
I'm attentive to every little detail
That's ever happening in the moment
I'm hyper-aware of what's going on around me
And I don't know why it's consuming me
But all of this is taking a toll on me
Because honestly all I know is
Because deep down, this is all I'm sure of
Infatuations, observation with a cause
I become attracted to people for a reason, not just a feeling
But none of it is love so while I'm waiting for it
But it's not really love, and I'm still searching for it
If I could make you love me
If I could make someone I'm interested in feel the same way
Maybe you could make me love me
Maybe finding love with someone else would help me feel better about myself
And if I can't make you love me
And if I can't make that person feel what I feel
Then I'll just hate everybody
Then I'll push everyone away and feel resentful
Everybody
Everyone around me
But maybe I, maybe I don't
But maybe I don't actually feel this hatred towards others

I'm my own biggest enemy
Yeah all my empathy's a disaster
Feeling something like a scaly(?) thing
Wrapped too tightly around my own master
My friends are getting bored at me
Saying I fell in love with a stranger
I don't know what they all think of me
But in reality I don't even
Remember anything but thinking you're the one
And I can't force a future like it's nothing
So I just HATE EVERYBODY!!
Well then why can't I go home without somebody??
And really I could fall in love with anybody
who don't want me
So I just keep saying I HATE EVERYBODY
But maybe I, maybe I... don't
I know I've got a tendency to exaggerate what i'm seeing
And I know that is unfair of me to make a memory out of a feeling
It's cause I notice every single thing that's ever happening in the moment
And I don't know why it's consuming me cause honestly all I know is:
Infatuations, observations with a cost
But non of it is love
So while i'm waiting for it
I'LL HATE EVERYBODY!!
Well then why can't I go home without somebody??
And really I could fall in love with anybody
who don't want me
So I just keep saying I HATE EVERYBODY
But maybe I, maybe I... don't
If I could make you love me maybe you can make me love me
And if I can't make you love me
Then I'll just hate everybody...EVERYBODY
Well then why can't I go home without somebody??
And really I could fall in love with anybody
who don't want me
So I just keep saying I HATE EVERYBODY
But maybe I, maybe I... don't

Halsey:"And I know that it's unfair of me
To make a memory out of a feelin'
It's 'cause I notice every single thing
That's ever happening in the moment"
Me: "sobber"
I mean I think about those moments that happenned with people I genuinely care much more than they could ever imagine, I just don’t tell them that I feel this much. Especially after someone leaves, it’s so hard to ever be the same.
@evaclarke1547
”My friends are getting bored of me”
”Saying I fell in love with a stranger”
”I don’t know what they think of me”
”So I’ll just hate everybody”
“Well then why can’t I go home with anybody?”
”And really I could fall in love with anybody who don’t want me.”
