R.I.P
Bikini Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i cant say everything about it
in just one single song
i cant put how i feel in a package
and sell it back to everyone

but wait
theres another boy genius whose fucking gone
i hope the food tasts better in heaven
i know theres lots of rad queer boys up there
i hope evertime they talk to you
they know they're lucky to be your friend

cuz look
theres another boy genius whose fucking gone
and i wouldnt be so fucking mad so fucking
pissed off if it wasnt so fucking wrong
its all so fucking wrong
its not fair - its not fair - its not fair

but no one said life was easy
yeah but no one said - no one said
nothings supposed to happen right?
no, no one told me anything
to prepare me for fucking this

theres another boy genius whose fucking gone
dont tell me it font matter
dont tell me ive had three days to get over it




it wont go away
it just wont go away

Overall Meaning

The song "R.I.P" by Bikini Kill is a powerful and emotional tribute to a lost friend. The lyrics express the singer's frustration and anger at the loss of this "boy genius" who was clearly important to many people. The first verse speaks to the limits of words and expressions when it comes to grief, acknowledging that no one song or package could ever fully convey the depth of feeling that comes with such a loss. The second verse turns to the hope for an afterlife, imagining a place where the lost friend can be surrounded by other wonderful people like him. The chorus then returns to anger and disbelief, emphasizing how unfair it all seems.


Perhaps the most striking aspect of the lyrics is the repetition of the phrase "another boy genius." This suggests that the loss being mourned is not unique or isolated, and that there is a pattern of bright and talented young people being taken too soon. The singer's frustration with this pattern is palpable, especially in lines like "I wouldn't be so fucking mad so fucking pissed off if it wasn't so fucking wrong." Overall, the lyrics of "R.I.P" tackle some of the most difficult emotions and questions that arise in the face of loss.

@yarinanita3287

as a grimes fan since 2018, it's very interesting to find a channel who listened to her since 2013:)

@visitingstatue69

i literally wanna cry thinking about it. went thru some super hard times during those years - times where i didnt think i could make it. her music helped me through it and heals + cleanses my wounds. <3

@KG-zp5zc

Same, found her music in 2011 and got through a lot of hard times because of Grimes. She was what I aspired to be sonically as a musician. I’ve seen her in concert 8 times, once on her guest list. To this day her art gets me through personal struggles and helps me to silence my inner demons. Thank you, C.
Ps Skin still makes me cry πŸ₯²

@bluejasmine662

You cannot categorize her. It's Grimes music.
