A raw, stomach-turning song about Dupuis' real life experience with sexual harassment, first demoed in 2014.
It took me a long while to want to release it. Because assault is such a personal topic that carries so much stigma, and takes such a range of forms. And in writing the song, I was wrestling...
Villain Lyrics
We ride the same bus, he knows my name
Covers a wet cloth, he sweats disdain
"I want to know what kind of games you like
I want to know what kind of games you like"
He talks like he knows me, so I'm being polite
Know not to cater untidy spreads
We rode the same bus, until it wrecked
"I want to know what kind of porn you like
I want to know what kind of porn you like"
He asks me these questions
Did he earn the right?
No way
[Chorus]
Hey, hot thing, you win some and you lose some
I'm calling security
Hey, hot thing, you blame some and you shame some
I'm hailing an ambulance
Hey, small thing, you catch some and infect some
But I don't wanna be the sullen type
I don't want my secret safe for life
Onomatopoeia till I never get to sleep
I want to know if a "no" means "alright"
I want to know if a "no" means "alright"
He looks past my answer
Did he earn the right?
No way
No way
[Chorus]
Hey, hot thing, you win some and you lose some
I'm calling security
Hey, hot thing, you blame some and you shame some
I'm hailing an ambulance
Hey, small thing, you catch some and infect some
But I don't wanna be the puzzling type
I don't want my secret safe for life
Onomatopoeia where I wouldn't wanna be
