Margaret Cho’s new single, I want to Kill My Rapist debut today.
She made it clear in an interview with AsAmNews that this was not about revenge, but about freeing the mind.
“It’s more about murdering the rapist in your mind, so you stop killing yourself,” Cho explained. “Sexual abuse leads to self abuse, so it’s not about revenge. It’s more about stopping the cycle of abuse. The video is lots of kids in this action fantasy world and they’re beautiful – aged 4-18 all incredible martial artists, archers, knife throwers! It’s a masterpiece.”
Indeed the video starts on a playground with young children. It’s a chilling opening scene for those who know Cho was raped and sexually abused beginning at age 5.
Made a decision with some derision
I had a vision about some killing
You worried. You better hurry.
Because its scary
Like cemetaries
You can’t escape it
Because I want to kill my rapist
I want to kill my rapist
I want to kill my rapist
I want to kill my rapist
