| when i am bullied i always think of this song. cause people call me lesbian, freak, greebo etc etc (sure most of u have heard it b4). all of these are true. i like to play up to it, almost to the point that i bring it on myself. if people shout at me, i wink at them ;) In relation to this song, it reminds me of how when ur abused u know they r saying the truth bout u and u like it. | |

| This song is interesting. I think about be the words of a person who has been abused many times. emotinaly or physicaly. Soon that person begins to resent his attacker "Well I hate you as well". THis person has risen above his attacker and learnt that the kind of abuse should not be tolarated by anyone "No one seems to like you". The person has become sarcastic about his abuse "C'mon abuse me more I like it" maybe he likes it because it makes him a better person (sometimes people have suffured abuse become really good people) | |

| after frogstomp was released, daniel got beat up heaps by people who live in his home town i think that this relates to that, he hates it so much, but it keeps happenig, and begins to believe what people say about him (they also said he was gay alot) | |

| I can soooooooo relate to what ladyboygrrl said! This is my favourite song... I once sang it to a girl when she was starting shit with me, and it confused her and shut her up straightaway. This song means a lot to me cuz ive been bullied a lot and this song is basically saying you can say what you want to me, but it doesnt hurt me...so just carry on because i like it. Etc etc etc | |

| perhaps the line "throw the sailors overboard' is just a distortion of 'they say it's overboard' but you yourself are distorted from the abuse that you can't see that | |
