I Hate

The name of this song is “I Hate” and his singer is Michael David Rosenberg, better known as Passenger, his artistic name.

This song is about things that Passenger doesnt like, or “hate”, but if we start thinking and analyzing the lyrics, we can notice that most of that things are problems of our actual society, so this is a kind of critic to our contemporary peers. I would like to discuss the lyrics of “I Hate”.

First of all, it mentions racism, we often hear some racist comments, and that's kind of common, I would love to say that I never said something a little bit racist, but I cant, so, who are we to criticize another person If we keep on doing the same thing. We need to change first, and then, we can start advising others. 

Another thing that we also have, are the ignorant mass followers, in the song,  we can find them as “ignorant folks, who pay money to see gigs and talk through every f** song”. I think that is really important to stop in this point , and  think about all the people that we know  that attend  to concerts, or revels, and  they dont even know what are those things about (sometimes all they know about the group of music, is the name.), they attend just because it is “cool” or “popular”,  so we can infer that they are forgetting who they are, and that leads us to deduce that they are losing their Identities,just because of the mass media.

The lyrics are about fake, ungrateful , and intolerant people. From my point of view, we can find all such persons everywhere, so, we have to be wise in the choice of our inner circle, and of course, we have to avoid that behaviours in ourselves.

Besides, Passenger talks about the influence of the media in the teenagers (specially women), he says, that all those magazines, and Tv shows are the responsables of a lot of problems as anorexia, bulimia or prematureness, moreover,  is created a false Idea of beauty, Nowadays people is more concerned to look like the tv stars than being ok with their bodies.

In conclusion, we can sum up the lyrics of this song as a summary of all our contingent problems, and its really good to know about this kind of artists that show the reality just as what it is.

- The video is not the original, because in the original one, Passenger appears singing, and I think that this one ,which is illustrated, is more striking :)
