[Intro] [lonely flanged bass; sparse 808 heartbeat] [ghostly higher-octave male vocal; reverb; fading echoes] Love... love... love... love... Hate... hate... hate... hate... [whisper] Aizō... 愛憎... I hate, hate, hate... how much I love, love, love you... [Verse 1] [low intimate rhythmic male lead] [soft higher-octave inner voice; haunting reverb] Walking on eggshells, reading your face (Love... love... love... love...) Changing my words just to keep us safe (Hate... hate... hate... hate...) I disappear just to keep the peace (Love... love... love... love...) Still somehow you get underneath (Hate... hate... hate... hate...) [inner voice grows closer] One cold look and I cave again (Love, love, love, love...) Swore this time would be the end (Hate, hate, hate, hate...) I hate the hold you have on me (Love me... love me... love me...) I hate how good your love can be (Hate me... hate me... hate me...) [Japanese whisper] (kirai... demo...) (Aizō...) [Pre-Chorus] [guitars swelling; aching melodic vocal] My head says run My heart says wait I call it love It feels like hate I know, I know I should let go But every time I get that close... (I can't let go...) [Chorus] [massive riffs; stacked harmonies] Love me, hate me too (Love me!) (Hate me!) I crash into everything you do (Everything you do!) A blind, desperate fool Still coming back to be your broken tool Love me, hate me too (愛してる!) (嫌い!) Love me... hate me... AIZŌ! (I hate how much I love you) [Verse 2] [flanged bass; low lead with haunting inner voice] Should I stay? (Stay...) Should I go? (Go...) God, I already know (You know...) Eight days bad for two days good (Hate... hate... hate...) Swore I'd leave, I knew I should (Go... go... go...) Then you touch me, there it goes (Love... love... love...) Every reason that I know (Aishiteru...) Pack my bags inside my head (Leave her...) By midnight I'm back in your bed (Stay...) Maybe love is just the lie (Love me...) We tell ourselves to survive (Hate me...) [overlapping whispers] (aishiteru...) (kirai...) (Aizō...) [Pre-Chorus] My head says run Your hands say stay We break apart Then beg to stay I know, I know How this one goes But every time I get that close... (Go...) (Stay...) [Chorus] Love me, hate me too (Love me!) (Hate me!) I crash into everything you do A blind, desperate fool Still coming back to be your broken tool Love me, hate me too (愛してる!) (嫌い!) Love me... hate me... AIZŌ! (I hate how much I love you) [Verse 3] [frantic drums; breathless lead; inner voice increasingly intrusive] Look in the mirror (Who are you?) Who is that? (Love... hate...) When did I learn (Don't let go...) To scream like that? (Let me go...) I don't like you (Hate...) I don't like me (Love...) I don't know who (Aizō...) I'm supposed to be [instruments cut] What did loving you do to me? (You already know...) [Breakdown] [crushing half-time guitars; heartbeat] [low lead / haunting higher-octave inner voice] I've had enough (You can't let go...) I need to leave (Then why are you still here?) Get out of my head (Love...) Get out of my blood (Hate...) If you're gonna break me... (Break me...) Finish what you started... [full stop] Break me completely! [heartbeat] [high aching whisper] ...why can't I leave? [Final Chorus] [huge cathartic layered vocals] LOVE ME, HATE ME TOO! (Love me!) (Hate me!) I crash into everything you do (Everything you do!) A blind, desperate fool Still coming back to be your broken tool LOVE ME! (愛してる!) HATE ME! (嫌い!) LOVE ME! (HATE ME!) 愛! 憎! AIZŌ! [overlapping harmony stack] (Love me, hate me...) (Hate me, love me...) (Aishiteru... kirai...) (I hate how much I love you...) (Aizō...) [Outro] [original lonely flanged bass; 808 heartbeat] Love... love... love... (I should leave...) Hate... hate... hate... (I can't leave...) Love... Hate... [ghostly whisper] Aizō... 愛憎... I hate, hate, hate... how much I love, love, love you... [flanged bass fades into static]
