Baby Sister Lyrics

This song to me is clearly about sexual abuse:

"Did he fill your cup? Baby sister, keep drinking
Or he'll hit you He'll bleach your eyes"

I think that's all pretty self-explanatory. I find the use of the verb "bleach" as a metaphor for coming particularly clever / beautiful (sad beauty, of course).
