Alexi wrote Hate Me and Kissing the Shadows lyrics very well....one being about hate and the other love in a mysterious way. He's a great lyricist and he should really put all his lyrics in the book even if he thinks they are shitty. I think they stand out to a lot of people.

I agree with Lady_Laiho
I like the both songs alot, but KTS is one of my faves songs ever.
 
Hate me

KTS was a song which came out of an Idea alexi had of the dual solos.

Hate Me is fun to sing along with, at the chorus.

The opening is widely based around a major scale which has a happier sound to it, but it was the sound Alexi wanted, and its a bitch of a riff to play. There are also more parts, not just soloing. I agree soloing is a big part of bodom, but KTS is basically all soloing, the lyrics and riffs just there to make it a song.

You're right lady laiho.The lyrics are perfect.Kissing the Shadows's lyrics are emotional I think.But some people can't understand this.They just say "Alexi is a psychopat,sadist or things like that.But I don't agree with them.Because you can't say that a song is greath with looking at it's lyrics.Because sometimes melody talks with you,tells you something about love,hate or death.Bed of Razors is a good example for that.When I listen this song I want to hug my grilfriend and kiss her forever.But my friends say "This horrible scream makes you cry?!You're a maniac...".I think it^s a pity for them.

lol i agree, Alexi may get a little drunk and crazy, but he's no pshychopath. Also, he is not a Satanist, he's an Atheist

I dont give a flying fuck about the lyrics. It's all about the instrumentation. the lyrics are well written, for the most part, and god only knows Needled 24/7 is about divorcing Kimberly Goss (away from you is like being closer to heaven, then again its like being needled 24/7) his true musicianship shines through the work of the instruments.

instrumentation is important but also lyrics are important I think:)
