Song Meaning of “Hate” by Lita Ford
Hate is a powerful and angsty song by Lita Ford about feeling resentment towards a former significant other. The protagonist, in a fit of anger, expresses her deep bitterness and regret about the end of their relationship. She still blames them for the way things ended, and for breaking her heart so deeply (“I hate what you did to me/I hate how it felt”). She reveals her hurt and longing for revenge as she declares she will never forgive them (“my hate is strong I won’t let it die”).
The song captures the intense and raw emotions of someone who has been wronged and betrayed by someone they once trusted. Despite the desire for revenge, the protagonist still yearns for the connection they once shared, hoping her ex will one day understand the extent of her anger (“hope you can feel the hate inside”). The song speaks to the difficulty and pain of letting go of the past and ultimately allowing oneself to move on.
