I don't think this song is about any kind of pedofelia. My interpretation was that this song was about a drug addiction. Possibly methamphetamine, where the user hates everything about the drug and what it does to them, but still loves it for some reason (addiction). Being a former meth user, this song makes me think about my methamphetamine addiction and how it caused me so many problems and ruined my life, but I loved it throughout the devastation that it caused with my family, my friends, my emotions, and my appearance.

Peace,

I went to school with the drummer neil sanderson (same last name as me too) in peterborough, ontario, canada and the rest of the band is from a little town called norwood which is about 20 minutes away. It is my understanding that every song on this particular album aludes to people that they went to school with. This song is about about a girl he hates and can't stand, but he loves her at the same time because she's so familiar. These guys aren't singing about hard drugs. It ain't their bag, baby.

it means this couple loves each other but they pretty much drive each other up the wall... "with every hit we take" has absolutely NOTHING to do with heroine or any other drug... Its saying like fighting... like they hit each other with insults to try and hurt the other one... They hate everything about the other one yet they still love each other and can't let go... So they are putting themselves through hell for the sake of a love that's mixed in with a lot of hate and is pretty much gone

I don't think it's so materialistic and about drugs. I think it's more about falling with someone you know is bad for you. or you start a relationship with someone that you know won't work but you can't help it.

Basically "I hate everything about you" so he hates what this person does to him and how he falls for the wrong person
"why do I love you" he can't help falling in love

Yeah um you guys are pretty stupid. First of all, lets get one thing straight...it has nothing to do with children or pedophilia sickos.

His girlfriend dumped him and he hates everything about his girlfriend for dumping him but still can't get over her because he loves her.

I've been around music my whole life. Both professionally (working with local bands) and unprofessionally. You can't just listen with your ears and get it, you have to listen with your heart. The actual meaning of the song when created by the band was probably about him being involved with someone or something and really not liking it, but for some uncontrollable reason he keeps going back. HOWEVER, a song's meaning to each individual can be quite different because people use music to relate to his/her own life.

I already posted but I want to add something. If you are that confused about the band's intended meaning. Watch the video! It's available on you tube and other various sites.

This song is about heroin addiction. "we lie awake after every hit we take" he is torn between the great feeling but hates it at the same time.

anonymous October 9th, 2007 08:26PM  
Look morons. It can't be about drugs! sure the "I hate everything about you why do I love you" makes sense but what about "you hate everything about me"? it has to be about a relationship!

To the person who said the following:
"OMFG...to the fag who posted: This song is about the lead singers addiction to heroine, he is hopelessly addicted, but loves the effects that he gets from it. He hates that he's addicted to this drug, and can't seem to find a way to get out the rut that he has dug himself into with this drug addiction>>> is a fool...they're all straight edge...they're borderline christian...fucking idiot."

You DO know the song 'Animal I Have Become' is about the lead singer's addiction to Oxycontin, right? Looks like he who did no research is the fucking idiot.
Seriously, Google it before you open your fucking mouth, asshole.

I think that they use to really love each other and they still do but they try to hide there feelings even though they say they hate each other they don't really meant it because they still have feelings for each other. because this has happen to me and its reallyu dumb because why can't you just tell ther person your true feelings instead of trying to hide it in front of everybody

The songs about a teenage boy who has a girlfriend and sees her making out with another boy. The boy's girlfriend is dumped by the other guy she was making out with. When th song says "I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU WHY DO I STILL LOVE YOU" means the boy hates the girl for cheating on him but he still loves her. The boy also get abused.

In general I think this is an interesting song.

The lines

"Every time we lie awake
After every hit we take
Every feeling that I get
But I haven't missed you yet"

is clearly about this guy's addiction to crack

anonymous July 1st, 2008 05:37PM  
Idiots. This song is about drugs.

"Every time we lie awake, after every HIT we take."

Keyword: HIT

After every HIT we take. Not literally beat the shit out of someone type of hit. He means hit from drugs.

Durfffff

I think this song is about being in a bad relationship. They know they should get out of it, but they can't because no matter how much pain the person causes them they still love them.

anonymous August 11th, 2008 09:53PM  
I was watching the music video when I heard something strange. They blocked the word hit out from the part "every time we lie awake, after every "blank" we take. I don't know why, but it could be about drugs. Any suggestions anyone?

I agree with the person that said this song seems like meth addiction, that they are referring to but I have always interpreted it as a relationship of two people who were suffering from an addiction, and what the addiction has done to them as a couple... etc
I don't know what the song was meant to be about but that is how I have always thought of it and related to it.
Love this song!

anonymous October 17th, 2008 12:40AM  
It could mean several different things, a hit can be a hit of smoke (marijuana maybe crack/anything), a hit of acid, hit meaning sex, with someone that he might hates and loves. whatever it is, he loves it and hates it at the same time, and keeps coming back.
