@[asktheangels:48592] yes of course, I agree it’s not as simple as that, but I think this song does have a strong theme of loss of innocence. Rape can be a part of that (again rape may not be the central focus of the song but it is still relevant if it is indeed about loss of innocence). To answer your question, the sweet boys in the summer lyric doesn’t contradict this necessarily, rapists were once children too. It can also be considered a loss of innocence for the rapist too as much as the victim. I agree this line is not specifically about rape though. It’s more broad than just that |
