Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Come on, rape me
Rape me, again
I'm not the only one
No uh uh uh uh
I'm not the only one
Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Taste me, my friend
I'm not the only one
No no no no no
I'm not the only one
My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn
Rape me
Rape me, my friend
Ow! Rape me
Rape me, again
Everybody!
Rape me
Put your hands together! (clapping to beat)
Rape me again!
Are-A-PE Me!
Rape rape rape rape rape rape rape rape rape rape
Me!
This song, despite its controversial and provocative title, is not really about rape, but rather a statement against the press and how it distorts and manipulates the truth. The lyrics contain references to a favored inside source, kissing open sores, and stinking and burning. These lines are meant to represent the media's obsession with scandal and sensationalism, and how they will stoop to any level to get the story.
The repetition of the phrase "rape me" is intended to shock and grab attention, but it's not meant to be taken literally. Rather, it's a metaphor for how the media takes advantage of people's vulnerability and exploits them for their own gain. The lyrics suggest that the media has the power to destroy someone's life with just a few words, and that they often do this without any regard for the truth.
The song is a cover of Nirvana's "Rape Me," which was released in 1993. Nirvana's version was written as a response to the outrage over the band's use of the word "rape" in their song "Polly." The band felt that the media had blown the controversy out of proportion and that they were being unfairly targeted. The lyrics of "Rape Me" were meant to challenge the media's sensationalism and hypocrisy.

As someone who is a surivior of Sexual Assault, this is literally the first time I have ever laughed about my trauma. I used to live in so much fear of the guy who did it, but now I know he's a coward, and I could truly beat his ass. Thank you so much Richard Cheese, love this genre of music!
@icecreamwasabi
When I heard Kurt’s song & the intentions of it I was angry bc I felt the anger in the song, I even felt stronger knowing that I will get past of what happened to me. We are stronger than we once were, sure this cover is hilarious but I love the meaning behind the song really; “You can hurt me all you want, I’m not afraid of you anymore.” You can beat the guys ass, I’m rooting for you!
@huxlee3947
I'm glad for you..! Being able to laugh about your own trauma is huuuuge success..!

I used to go driving around, car packed with my friends, blaring this and everyone laughing like hyenas. Those were the days
@ineedsomesleep1761
That sounds like a lot of fun and i would do it myself. The problem is that some friends of mine get offended so easily.
