The Ballad of Love and Hate Lyrics
Love writes a letter and sends it to Hate:
"My vacation,s ending, I'm coming home late The weather was fine and the ocean was great And I can't wait to see you again" Hate reads the letter and throws it away "No one here cares if you go or you stay I barely even noticed that you were away I'll see you or I won't, whatever" Love sings a song as she sails through the sky The water looks bluer through her pretty eyes And everyone knows it whenever she flies And also when she comes down Hate keeps his head up and walks through the street Every stranger and drifter he greets And shakes hands with every loner he meets With a serious look on his face Love arrives safely with suitcase in toe Carrying with her the good things we know A reason to live and a reason to grow To trust, to hold, to care Hate sits alone on the hood of his car Without much regard to the moon or the stars Lazily killing the last of a jar Of the strongest stuff you can drink Love takes a taxi, a young man drives As soon he sees her hope fills his eyes But tears follow after at the end of the ride Because he might never see her again Hate gets home lucky to still be alive He screams over the sidewalk and into the drive The clock in the kitchen says two-fifty-five And the clock in the kitchen is slow Love has been waiting patient and kind Just wanting a phone call or some kind of sign That the one that she cares for who's out of his mind Will make it back safe to her arms Hate stumbles forward and leans in the door Weary head hung down, eyes to the floor He says, "Love, I'm sorry," and she says, "What for? I'm yours and that's it, whatever I should not have been gone for so long I'm yours and that's it, forever Your mine and that's it, forever"

who are you to say he/she got the song meaning wrong.
you don't know. No one does.
Songs have different meanings to different people, which
is what makes them so awesome in the first place

1. Most of the time you can love and hate the same person. Love is a powerful feeling and brings with it other powerful feelings. Many times you can love someone but hate the things they do or the things they do to you. Sometimes the feelings of love or hate can completely take over, as is the case at the beginning of the song where love has been on vacation.
2. Love and hate is contageous. If someone has positive energy (like whoever got into the cab), that energy can spread to others and brighten their day. If there is negative energy (like there is in some poorer neighborhoods like the one described in the song) it is also contageous and spreads hate.
3. This song is a metaphor for an actual relationship where one person (hate) is behaving recklessly without regard or feeling for the other person, but then recognizes the error of his ways and asks for forgivenness. The other person (love) forgives him unconditionally.
4. Love is unconditional and hate can be beaton.

But, I am just going to say to you Mr. Grumbles,
that I completely agree with your thoughts.

Love and Hate are two aspects of the same person. of every person.
even if we are a part of hate for some time, and haven't felt love for such a long time, we grow to miss love, but we also feel like we don't need it. we'd rather hate than love. we push love away. But love is irrepressible, she sails, she flies, love makes us soar. and when we are in love, the whole world will know it. and the whole world will know when we've had our heart broken. but even though we love love, we still want to hate. it touches everyone. hate is a part of everyone. but love always finds you. love touches even those who hate, those who don't want to be a part of love. love teaches us to care, to live. even when hate is such a part of us, such a big part of who we are, love will always be there, even when we touch it for just a little while, even if we just barely brush it with our fingers, love will always be there to feel. even when it's almost too late. it will always be there, waiting patiently, kindly. hate will finally give in to love. love and hate will always be a part of us.
