Everybody Hates Me - The Chainsmokers

The Experience: I'm lonely... not one of them knows me...

Music video: You want to have a good time, but you're alone even when you push the limits - this time, uh, let's go full psycho and the joyride in the jeep, through empty streets. You get yourself invited to the party - I made it - but you're alone at the bottom of the pool, and alone in the midst of a crowd of masks. No one knows anyone, and you're no different.

The Meaning of Everybody Hates Me: Lonely because your friends do things that are wrong and that you don't want to do - she says she cheated 'cause she's tryna get ahead the more I read her the more I take offense. Lonely because not even one of them knows me. Lonely because you've failed enough times that you're afraid to try again - I'm so defeated I can't get outside my head. Lonely because the deepest friendship you dream of is pretty shallow - yeah I just want to drink tequila with my friends. Lonely because you sold out who you really are to be accepted by people who don't actually care - yeah I just want to drink tequila with my friends they're the reason I said I'm who I am. So you walk into the club like everybody hates me... and it's a self fulfilling prophecy.

Ask yourself: Why are we so lonely? How can you get known?

LYRICS:

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 her, 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 sh-t 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, sh-t, 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 said I'm 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, sh-t, 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
