Songs about Abuse/Rape?
 
Okay, so this might seem like a weird request (and it might be in the wrong place), but I am searching for songs about Rape and Abuse.
Since I know you guys have awesome music taste, and songs about everything, I thought I would try my luck here.
I know a few, like Concrete Angel, but I am in search of others, it's for an experiment.

Thank you. :]

Morrissey was abused as a child, and thus a lot of Smith's songs are based around molestation and whatnot.

"Long Way to Happy" by Pink isn't necessarily about rape, but REALLY makes me think of it/hits home.

"Luka" by Suzanne Vega is about abuse.

Otep has some songs about abuse/rape. Jonestown Tea comes to mind.

As well as Emilie Autumn's Gothic Lolita.

Date Rape by Sublime is actually kind of funny (wait till the end).

Daddy by Korn. Actually, a lot of Korn songs can fit this bill. Evanescence's cover of Thoughtless is good for this kind of thing.

I'll add more if I think of any :).

Surprised the person that say Razorblade by Blue October didn't say Angel by them as well.
Not the whole song is specifically about abuse, but theres this one part that I listen to the for the one part... "How do you hold, the special victim?..."
Powerful shit man. XD Thats the only one I can think of that hasnt been said...

concrete angel can't remeber the artist though. It's about child abuse

Re: Songs about Abuse/Rape?
 
"Facade" by Disturbed is a great song at about a domestic abuse victim who takes back control.

"Dearest" by One True Thing is about a girl moving on from being physically abused as a child.

"I'm Sorry" by Flyleaf...I've always thought that this was about sexual assault, but you may have to decide that for yourself.


Hope these helped. Take care. :)

Mary Magdalan, while not explicitly mentioning abuse, can be very cathartic.
