Sublime: Date Rape Meaning

Song Released: 1991

Date Rape Lyrics

Let me tell you about a girl I know,
had a drink about a hour ago.
Sitting in a corner by herself, in a bar in downtown Hell.

She heard a noise and she looked through the door.
And saw a man she'd never seen before.
Light skin, light blue...

   I think this is talking about Karma, like the others, and talks about how easily she was tricked.
   
   I think its talking about how she was tricked so easily by a guy, and how he just took advantage of her. Its quite sad because things like this do happen and most of the time they aren't reported, or cared for.
   
   I think it also talks about the karma side of it, even though he felt like he was having a great time and thought she wouldn't report him karma got him right in the ass.

   This song is about how a guy rapes a girl, and then he ends up in prison getting "butt-raped" by a large inmate.
   
   I agree with Spen, it's about karma.

   Well the song is showing how easy this stuff happens. An also it's theme is also about karma, what goes around comes around, he gets raped in prison, and no one cares.

   This song is telling about a story of a girl that got raped and how the guy went to jail in the end. I don't believe there's great significance.
