I Love You But I Hate Your Friends

Neon Trees

Transposer:

NO CAPO [Verse] I drew my name in lipstick on a mirror at your sister’s house She told me I was strange I told her "Thanks" and kissed her on the mouth But you don’t go that way I thought you had a thing for fancy boys Looks can be deceiving [Chorus] I love you But I hate your friends They’re all desperate If you knew what I know would you be ready to go? All this emptiness would end Stop pretending If you knew what I know would you be ready to go? Would you be ready to go? [Verse] They never liked the music They bitch about how cool it used to be Somehow I can’t refuse it I dig your blatant sexuality Oh you say I’m not that easy I’m not sure what the hell you take me for Honey looks can be deceiving [Chorus] I love you But I hate your friends They’re all desperate If you knew what I know would you be ready to go? All this emptiness would end Stop pretending If you knew what I know would you be ready to go? Would you be ready to go? [Bridge] They’re always on to the next big thing They wanna bite but they can barely sting I never wanted you for just a fling I hate it when you lie to me But I just let you lie to me [Chorus] I love you But I hate your friends They’re all desperate If you knew what I know would you be ready to go? All this emptiness would end Stop pretending If you knew what I know would you be ready to go? Would you be ready to go? [Outro] I love you I love you I love you But I hate your friends I love you I love you I love you But I hate your friends

Dans cette chanson, l'artiste exprime un sentiment ambivalent envers une personne qu'il aime, tout en déplorant l'influence négative de ses amis. Il reconnaît que ces derniers semblent désespérés et superficiels, ce qui complique sa relation avec celle qu'il aime. Il questionne également l’authenticité des sentiments de son partenaire face à la pression sociale exercée par ses amis. Le cadre de cette réflexion pourrait se situer dans un moment de jeunesse où la quête de l'amour se heurte souvent aux dynamiques d'amitié, et où les choix affectifs sont influencés par le regard des autres. Cela fait écho aux dilemmes fréquents dans les relations, où le désir de connexion se confronte aux attentes sociales.
