I'm bad and I'm going to hell, and I don't care. I'd rather be in hell than anywhere where you are.

The speaker rejects conventional moral judgment (“bad,” “going to hell”) and even embraces damnation as preferable to remaining in the other person’s presence. The line dramatizes a rupture so complete that spiritual consequences become irrelevant compared with the immediate emotional reality of disgust, resentment, or wounded pride. It also inverts the usual logic of repentance: instead of fearing hell, the speaker weaponizes it as a declaration of autonomy—choosing self-condemnation over submission or proximity. In Faulknerian terms, the sentiment fits his recurring interest in guilt, defiance, and the way intimate relationships can become arenas where moral language is used less for salvation than for power and separation.
