Lyrics
Struggling to accept this
Expressing difficulty in accepting a situation
That girls should just expect it
Commenting on the societal expectation for girls to anticipate negative experiences
This lenience is taunting
Describing the lenient attitude, which is provocative or challenging
This violent fear is haunting
Highlighting a persistent and disturbing fear
Why can't we admit it was you that caused this
Questioning the reluctance to acknowledge personal responsibility
You were human once upon a time
Acknowledging the person's humanity in the past
Dug your grave in blame and shame and lies
Referring to actions that led to personal downfall with blame, shame, and lies
Like a vulture circling the skies
Comparing the person's behavior to a vulture circling, suggesting predatory actions
This monster always lurked inside your mind
Indicating an inherent monstrous aspect within the person's mind
You said that she consented
Claiming consent from the victim's perspective
And we're asked to prevent it
Highlighting the societal expectation to prevent such incidents
The clothes we wear provoke it
Suggesting victim-blaming based on clothing choices
Shows we're asking for it
Asserting that certain behaviors imply consent
What was she thinking
Questioning the victim's thought process
What was she drinking
Raising questions about the victim's consumption of alcohol
Doesn't remember
Pointing out the victim's memory lapse
They say 'Should have known better'
Quoting a common societal response blaming the victim for not knowing better
You were human once upon a time
Reiterating the person's humanity in the past
Dug your grave in blame and shame and lies
Repeating the description of personal downfall with blame, shame, and lies
Like a vulture circling the skies
Reemphasizing predatory behavior with the vulture metaphor
This monster always lurked inside your mind
Reaffirming the presence of a monstrous aspect within the person's mind
You were human once upon a time
Reiterating the person's humanity in the past
Dug your grave in blame and shame and lies
Repeating the description of personal downfall with blame, shame, and lies
Like a vulture circling the skies
Reemphasizing predatory behavior with the vulture metaphor
This monster always lurked inside your mind
Reaffirming the presence of a monstrous aspect within the person's mind
We need to change
Advocating for societal change
Don't try to blame
Discouraging attempts to shift blame onto others
