Soko told Strange is Beautiful: "Each time I write a new song it’s so fulfilling, and painful at the same time. The last one I wrote called Visions that made it on that record is the only song where I don’t use the word “I”, though it’s one of the most personal songs I’ve ever wrote referring to some things that happened the night that my dad passed away and how it forced me to grow up. I had to dive back into this time and face it, accept it, turn it into something brighter – a song. Every single night when I play it, it’s always the hardest. The chorus lyrics are “forgive the ones you hate the most.” The person I hate the most being myself. This song is about forgiving myself for the guilt I carried my whole childhood thinking that I was responsible for my dad’s death."

LYIRICS

Forgive the ones you hate the most

Result of a broken home
A giant hole in a heart so cold
And visions that you seek
You grow too fast to weep

Hear the words of a silent child
A lonely soul and a worried mind
And visions of a man who screams
It's better if you learn
To dream quietly

Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most

Countless nights of broken dreams
Friends that only you can see
Your visions are the truth
That they taught you
In books you never read

Shine a light on my sleepless nights
I hope I won't be the first to cry
And visions of a man who bleeds
Discover that the wound
Is too deep and never heals

Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate the most
Forgive the ones you hate
Forgive the ones you hate
