This song is about rape, and how victims of it must suffer, due to the rape culture that today’s society faces. Victims are often forced into silence because of fear, or because they know they will be seen as “faking” or “just looking to get rich”.
“Hush little baby, don’t say a word
You’re gonna get what you deserve
If you didn’t get drunk, or wear that dress
Then would I think that no means yes?”
For too long I’ve waged this war
Victims of violence suffer in silence
But I can’t be silent anymore
Any more
You left us for dead when you robbed us of choice
You blamed us and shamed us from using our voice
Trapped in a memory that I can’t escape;
Too scared to admit I was raped
For too long I’ve waged this war
Victims of violence suffer in silence
But I can’t be silent anymore
Any fucking more
Left for dead
Right where I fucking bled
What part
Of “No”
Don’t you
Fucking
Understand?
No
I told you “No”
