Valentine's Day is near and I bet your planning a romantic day with your significant other. But if you're like me you'll be thinking "Valentine's day eww kill it with fire" and you will have your puke buckets ready for the social media overload of happy couple pictures. So to support the anti love movement I've made a list of my top 5 favorite anti love songs. Let's begin shall we.
5. "Too Close" By Alex Clare
Let's start with something soft. Too close is a fantastic song about not being able to love someone. The song uses elements of dubstep, rock, and soul to create a heavenly melody that is perfect to use for gentle break up. It's not as blunt with its anti love lyrics but it really gets to the point and you understand it and you get a great song stuck in your head.
4. "Hallelujah" By Fit For Rivals
This song is a little more aggressive with its anti love feel. It's fast paced and energetic. The lyrics are clearly directed to a former lover who did the singer wrong. Speaking of the singer Renee Pheonix does a fantastic job of conveying emotion through the song along side the fast paced drums and the powerful energetic guitar. The last song was a gentle done with love song this is way less gentle.
3. "I almost told you that I loved you" By Papa Roach
This song is one of my all time favorite songs. It has a very cynical view of love. The singer actually sounds very selfish. Say he has no feelings of love towards his significant other but he almost blurted it out during sex. The only good things he attributes to his lover is their sexual abilities. The song is a hardcore rock song with strong powerful use of guitars and drums. This is one of papa roach's more rock focused songs so it has little to no rap elements. In the end this song is about being selfish and cynical when it comes to someone's feelings which is why it makes the list
2. "F**K You" By Celo Green
If you've been alive you've probably heard this song. The song is filled with the energy of a man who just had his heart broken and is filled with emotions. The best thing about this song to me is its simplicity. It's extremely sympathetic to anyone who's been dumped. While the other songs focused on not liking love this song conveys the pain love brings. Which is why it makes the list. Plus Celo green is just such a great artist
1. "Love Is Hell" By Theory Of A Deadman
Out of all the Anti love songs this is my favorite. The amazing use of guitar mixed with the great vocals make this one of Theory Of A Deadman's best work. The lyrics directly curse love and prefers the worse possible fates then suffer falling in love. If you hate love and love rock then this song is a must listen
Thank you for reading and remember screw love :).
