Cover art for Kristy, Are You Doing OK? lyrics by Offspring, The

this song means so much to me.. i never noticed it till i saw the title. because my name's kristy.

i was saving my first time for marriage. but i was raped 3 years ago by someone i trusted at that time more than my own mother. i read the lyrics before i ever heard the song, and it was my story in a song.. and the stories of a lot of other people too.

"Oh, waves of time Seem to wash away the scenes of our crimes For you this never ends.." ".. clouds of time Seem to rain on innocence left behind It never goes away." --lots of people make mistakes, and get wronged, get over it, and move on. but when something like rape happens.. you never get over it.. it really never ends.

"Don't waste your whole life trying To get back what was taken away." --easier said than done.

I'm very sorry to read this Kristy. I'm recording this song and I'd like to dedicate it to you [although it's already your song, the dedication would be my performance hehe]. When I sing and play it it makes me shed a tear or two at some points of the song, because even though it's not my case, I can relate to the song in another way and also makes me feel sad. I'd like to share with you my recording. May I email you later?

Wow My name's kristy too and something very similar happened to me I was in 7th grade and it was a close friend of my father's and when I tried to tell my dad he hit me and told to stop lying...

I feel for you and if you ever need some one to talk to about it you can message me hugs

I'm 19 and I've been raped/sexually harrassed multiple times, and in various different ways from people I have trusted and people i didn't even know. I can totally identify with the song, and wish someone would have spoken up for me when I didn't have the words to speak about, when I finally did my parents didn't believe me. You never really get over it, but there are places you can go that are non-judgemental to speak to someone who tries to understand and work with you. It sucks when you have to fix yourself and you've done NOTHING wrong...
