I've kept "I hate myself, I hate clover, and I hate bees" pinned above my desk since I first started studying evolutionary biology as an undergraduate. So relatable to get extremely frustrated with your study system.
Seal talked about this with Rick Beato, although he doesn't *really* say what the lyric is or what it meant to him when he wrote it. Which, ok, fair. He implicitly acknowledges that interpretation of art, once it's released, doesn't belong exclusively to the artist.
