In a similar way, I always view this song as not about rape but child abuse. The reference to "all those years ago" suggest it was something that happened a long time in the past.
I've seen very early live versions of this song that had the lyric "Who killed my father?"...which fits the child abuse theme, and suggests the song was originally going to be more obvious and explicit.
@MisterMarcus How do you interpret that as having to do with child abuse? I also think it has something to do with some kind of child abuse, whether sexual/emotional/physical, but I can't find anything on the members that seems to prove anything.
