Blackbook – Unlovable (Thank You For Hating)

When hate turns into pure energy

The intro hits you like a 70s disco thun­der­storm – “Once I had a love and it was a gas …” Well, who recog­nizes the ref­er­ence? But even though my head imme­di­ately makes that con­nec­tion, the song is ulti­mately com­pletely dif­fer­ent. I love it when the famil­i­ar mixes with the new, and Blackbook have mastered this game perfectly.

“Unlovable (Thank You For Hating)” rushes for­ward at break­neck speed and is, without ques­tion, the most ener­get­ic song on the album “Different” for me. While the lyr­ics trans­form pain into pure motiv­a­tion and give the mor­al guard­i­ans the middle fin­ger, the sound drives relent­lessly toward lib­er­a­tion. It's this mix of EBM hard­ness and a bit more catchy synth pop that makes the track so unstop­pable. Anyone who has ever felt mis­un­der­stood will find their anthem here – a burn­ing power­house that won't let you go.

Lyrics of "Blackbook – Unlovable (Thank You For Hating)"

The pain is unbearable
But it cleanses my soul
And when I get through this
I will be whole

You say I'm unloveable
But you don't know me
My heart is unstoppable
As long as it bleeds

Thank you for hating
It's so motivating
Thank you for hat­ing me
Thank you for hating
It's so liberating
Thank you for blam­ing me
It sets me free

The pain is unbearable
But it cleanses my soul
And when I get through this
You will be whole

You think you're incredible
But you're mak­ing me laugh
Your out­dated morals
Are all you have left

So thank you for hating
It's so motivating
Thank you for hat­ing me
Thank you for hating
It's so liberating
Thank you for blam­ing me
It sets me free
It sets me free
It sets me free
