Discover the story of the song > Hate Street Dialogue – The Avener

The protagonist is singing to his partner, telling her that she has overstayed her welcome and asking if she wishes he was dead. He describes the rough area they are in, with children in difficult situations and the air thick with dirt and lust. He refers to being set free from the police and feeling like he has tasted the bitterness of a 'hate street' where people hang from trees.
