SOTW282025 Bilmuri "More Than Hate"
You'll see artist on this weekly highlight repeat every so often and you can probably wonder "hey, this guy doesn't listen to other artists?" and for the most part you'll be wrong. I'm always looking for a little something else to make my head explote. It's actually not my fault that the artists I like keep delivering bangers like it's no ones business.
Point in case, Bilmuri just released his new single after a successful album and let me tell you that it is way heavier than I expected but only adds to the whole experience. I mean, he was a founding member Attack Attack! while still underage. And let me tell you, this guys keeps building up on the style he's crafted for his solo venture. "More Than Hate" starts with a super heavy breakdown and immediately moves to an awesome chill verse with powerful guitar riffs in the background. And the chorus? Chef kiss. It's just so melodic that it may as well be in a top 40's pop song. The video? Hilarious, but a bit shocking if you don't know where he's coming from.
I'll let you listen to the song now, but let me warn you, I think this guy's next album is going to be a banger and I cannot wait for it.
Lyrics (via Genius)
[Verse 1]
You act holy, you ain't clean
You're a demon underneath
All your sweetness is a fake
You get evil, you're insane
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not saying that I'm perfect
So, why am I the one that's certain?
[Chorus]
You love to set my life on fire
Feel you burning in my face
Sick of taking all this heat
Tired of catching all these strays
Yeah, you keep [screaming at me?]
Trying to tell me who to be
Baby, it's obnoxious
Can't believe you used to be a part of me, now it's getting hard to be
Stuck inside your heart while you're tearing up my arteries
Used to call it love, now it's something more than hate
Used to call it love, now it's something more than hate
[Verse 2]
Say you're loyal but you lie
You play the victim every time
Yeah, you a serpent, the way you bite
Been burning bridges, cutting ties
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not saying that I'm perfect
Why am I the one that's always hurtin'?
[Chorus]
You love to set my life on fire
Feel you burning in my face
Sick of taking all this heat
Tired of catching all these strays
Yeah, you keep [screaming at me?]
Trying to tell me who to be
Baby, it's obnoxious
Can't believe you used to be a part of me, now it's getting hard to be
Stuck inside your heart while you're tearing up my arteries
Used to call it love, now it's something more than hate
Used to call it love, now it's something more than hate
[Breakdown]
Hate
Hate
[Chorus]
You love to set my life on fire
Feel you burning in my face
Sick of taking all this heat
Tired of catching all these strays
Yeah, you keep [screaming at me?]
Trying to tell me who to be
Baby, it's obnoxious
Can't believe you used to be a part of me, now it's getting hard to be
Stuck inside your heart while you're tearing up my arteries
Used to call it love, now it's something more than hate
Used to call it love, now it's something more than hate
Hate
