Dax - i hate that i love you

i hate that i love you is a gritty number that is a heartbreak anthem that speaks about love that can no longer accommodate Dax. The poet is no stranger who is not afraid to put blood on paper when it comes to his emotions. He delivers a brutally honest narrative through sharp and unfiltered lyrics. His music has a wide range of sheer grit and rage that he has in his music, but this is different; it's a personal number that makes it hard to even bat an eye. The track speaks of an undying love that swings between regret and bitterness. Dax is not shy of the vivid images he creates with his lyrics, using his life as inspiration as he expresses the weight of his emotions. The hard-hitting emotional rap ballad has a soundscape that matches the obsessive bitterness of the emotions. The minimal bars in the backdrop do a fine job at allowing for his lyrics and vocals to shine. “They could cut off both my arms, and I’d still find a way to hug you” is just one example of the angry and surrendering nature that this song tries to encapsulate. The track leaves you with a whirlwind of emotions; there is no resolution that is offered. A film like 8 Mile is the only film that holds a song like this in its narrative! The track is testament to his ability to turn personal pain into powerful music. As we listen to a song with such raw and personal experiences, you have to make space to step back and appreciate it if you cannot relate.
