Check, check, check, check, check
Rape me
Rape me again
Father, just take me
Rape me again, someone
Since my embarrassment's gone
Free, I'm not a lonely one
She miss me, than do you?
He was a nasty guest, flame
Rape me
Rape me again
Someone, disgrace me
Face me, and then
The weight of both of them
Has grinded to the ground
We owe them pay he's made
He's afraid I'm not a self-endowed
Sick convention
Going to the source
Inside intention with me
Rape me again
Father knows I'm my elite reforce
Hey, he was a nasty guest
Fall, I never was I said
Fool, falling to his this
Make me
Make me do it again
Save me
Save me, young friend
Soon my own found recourse
Hey, I'm not alive anymore
Say I'm not alive anymore
Hey, I'm not a country horse
Say, I'm not a modern man's choir
Oh, I'm not a smorgasbord
Ah, hate me
You hate me again
You hate me again
About This Song
"Rape Me" is a confrontational and darkly ironic song that uses shocking imagery to explore themes of victimization, exploitation, and defiance in the face of abuse. Rather than glorifying violence, Kurt Cobain's lyrics function as a bitter commentary on being consumed by fame, media scrutiny, and toxic relationships, with the repeated phrase serving as a sardonic invitation to those who would exploit him. Musically, the track features Nirvana's signature grunge sound with heavy, distorted guitars and Cobain's raw, anguished vocals that shift between quiet vulnerability and explosive anger. The song's deliberately provocative title and content sparked significant controversy, but it stands as one of Nirvana's most unflinching examinations of powerlessness and the psychological toll of being in the public eye. Its stark honesty and refusal to sanitize difficult emotions exemplify the band's commitment to confronting uncomfortable truths through their art.
