Yeah, let’s do it again but, uh, this time, uh, let’s go full psycho
Yeah, I just want to drink tequila with my friends
She said she cheated ’cause she’s tryna get ahead
The more I read it, yeah, the more I take offense
I’m so defeated, I can’t get outside my head
I post a picture of myself ’cause I’m lonely
Everyone knows what I look like
Not even one of them knows me
Yeah, I just want to drink tequila with my friends
I’m so defeated I just want this shit to end
So I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I’m talkin’ to myself, shit, now they think I’m crazy
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me (everybody hates me)
Like everybody hates me
Like everybody hates me (everybody, yeah)
I’m a product of the internet
Now, I’m face to face with all the voices in my head
I can’t even check the time without facing regret
Why do I still have to mean everything I ever said
And I’m not trying to be like “poor me,” I made it
I’m just trying to stay normal now that they know what my name is
Yeah, I just want to drink tequila with my friends
They’re the reason that I stared at who I am
So I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I’m talkin’ to myself, shit, now they think I’m crazy
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me (everybody hates me)
Like everybody hates me
Like everybody, everybody hates me (everybody, yeah)
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
I walk into the club like, everybody, yeah
Everybody (everybody)
I walk into the club like, everybody, yeah
Everybody (everybody)
I walk into the club like, everybody hates me
Everybody, yeah, everybody
Exploring Isolation in the Digital Age
“Everybody Hates Me” by The Chainsmokers delves into the emotional turbulence of modern fame and social anxiety. The lyrics candidly reflect the pressure of online personas and the disconnection that can come with widespread recognition. The repeating line, “I walk into the club like, everybody hates me,” captures the intrusive thoughts and self-doubt that often accompany social situations, especially for those in the public eye. The song’s narrative voice is raw and honest, blending a desire for genuine connection—”I just want to drink tequila with my friends”—with the struggle to feel understood in a world dominated by appearances and social media.
The Weight of Expectations
The Chainsmokers use introspection to highlight the burden of living up to public expectations. Lines about feeling defeated and overthinking every action resonate with anyone who has felt misunderstood or scrutinized. The track succeeds in portraying the paradox of being widely recognized but emotionally isolated, making it relatable beyond the realm of celebrity.
