The group consisted of vocalist and songwriter Kathleen Hanna, guitarist Billy Karren, bassist Kathi Wilcox, and drummer Tobi Vail. The band is widely considered to be the pioneer of the riot grrrl movement, and was notorious for its radical feminist lyrics and fiery performances. Their music was characteristically abrasive and hardcore-influenced.

While occasionally collaborating with high-profile acts such as Nirvana and Joan Jett, Bikini Kill was well-known for shunning major labels and the mainstream rock press. After two full-length albums, several EPs and two compilations, the band disbanded in 1998.

The band reformed in 2019.

Bikini Kill Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think you want everything
Push the walls open
I wanna see my memories bleed
No I don't remember you ever loving me
I remember the back of your head
Leaving
And now I am quite sure you want
Everything everything everything Everything
Everything everything everything everything
Outta me

Overall Meaning

The song "Outta Me" by Bikini Kill delves into the complexity of an intense, tumultuous relationship. The opening lines - "It's about bein' in love, it's about bein' in hate" - immediately set the tone for a love/hate dynamic between two people. The singer is conflicted, torn between not wanting to miss the person and wanting them dead. This juxtaposition of emotions adds a layer of intensity to the song, as it becomes clear that the relationship was very passionate, but also very destructive.

The repeated line "Push the walls open, I wanna see my memories bleed" is particularly poignant, as it suggests that the singer is trying to come to terms with their memories and the emotions associated with them. They want to confront the past head-on, even if it means reopening old wounds. The line "No I don't remember you ever loving me, I think that was your fucking fantasy" powerfully illustrates the singer's feelings of betrayal and disillusionment. They feel like the other person was living in a fantasy world, and that their love was never real.

The chorus - "Outta me, everything everything everything" - is a plea for the other person to leave the singer's life completely. They want to be free of the memories, the pain, and the emotional baggage that the relationship has left them with. Overall, "Outta Me" is a raw and emotional exploration of a toxic relationship, and the complicated feelings that come with it.
