I was driving in the car today listening to Follow The Reaper and after "Taste Of My Scythe", "Hate Me!" came on. Instead of headbanging and screaming along like I usually do, I decided to really sit back and listen to it cause it's one of my favorites. There were some things I noticed now that I was able to discern each note and word.
Then it came to a part where I heard it, paused and played it back 3 times.
The line is "You know that I never fucking cared if I lived or died".
This is the 2nd time he says it in the song however, not the first and there's a difference. The first time he says it like it's part of the song, but what caught me on the next time around was that he no longer was singing with the song. I heard his voice and I was amazed that what I heard was conviction. He believed it when he sang it this time, and it's as if he was forcing all of his innermost pain out when said it. After I heard this all sorts of horrible imagery about Alexi's past came to my mind.
There was another line in Hate Me that also struck me as well - I heard the same tone and belief as I did in the first one.
"You could never give me the cure for the pain I feel inside".
For me this song has what I feel the most power and meaning because of what I heard.
I want to know what you all think. Is there a line from one of Bodom's songs that strikes you either lyrically or vocally? Why?
