I Hate Everything

ANÁLISIS | SIGNIFICADO

George Strait's song 'I Hate Everything' tells the story of a man drowning his sorrows at a bar. He expresses his deep sense of hatred towards almost everything in his life. Despite admitting that he hates drinking and the bar, he continues to order more drinks. The man shares a photo of his ex-wife, confessing that she is the reason behind his misery, and he hates everything because of her.

He reflects on his job, his life, and especially his ex-wife, admitting that if it wasn't for his children, he would hate her too. The man acknowledges that he should move on, but he can't seem to overcome the pain of his wife leaving him for another man.

As he laments his life, he describes his one-bedroom apartment as a prison rather than a home, even though it has amenities like a swimming pool. He expresses his disdain for all seasons and colors, emphasizing his general sense of bitterness towards everything.

Towards the end of the song, the narrator has a moment of realization and calls his partner, promising to come home and work things out. He pays for the man's drinks at the bar and expresses his gratitude for helping him see that he doesn't want to harbor hatred towards everything.
