Lady Gaga – Until It Happens to You – Sexual Assaults Must Stop NOW!
Quite honestly…never paid much attention to Lady Gaga. Not my style. Her new single “Til It Happens to You” rocks however. I am a SURVIVOR of Sexual Assault. Nothing is worse than that holding your pain inside. It eats you from the inside out. I was just 17 when I was raped and it still haunts me, makes me feel like the vulnerable teen I was at the time. I did hate myself. I thought it was my fault. I ended up with an eating disorder and weighed less than 90 pounds.
A few nights ago I was talking to an intelligent, beautiful young woman who had been assaulted by someone she thought was a friend. She told me she knew two other girls who had been assaulted as well. My heart ached for her. I told her she was beautiful and brave. She was taking about it. Something that I spent most of life trying to hide. But you know what…no more. No one deserves to be raped, or assaulted. NO ONE! I am beautiful and I do LOVE myself. I am a survivor and I have a story to tell. It’s a story of victory over circumstance. I no longer let the monster that assaulted me live rent free in my head! I choose to live in the light…to be happy and free.
The song, which never has been released as single, is the haunting theme of Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering’s acclaimed documentary, The Hunting Ground, which details the experiences of Annie E. Clark, Andrea L. Pino, Sofie Karasek and Kamilah Willingham — all of them sexually assaulted on their college campuses.
This needs to STOP! You tell me “it gets better, it gets better,
in time”
You say I’ll pull myself together, pull it together,
“You’ll be fine”
Tell me what the hell do you know,
What do you know,
Tell me how the hell could you know,
How! could you know
Till it happens to you, you don’t know
How it feels,
How it feels.
Till it happens to you, you won’t know
It won’t be real
No It won’t be real
Won’t know how it feels
You tell me “hold your head up”
Hold your head up and be strong
Cause when you fall, you gotta get up
You gotta get up and move on.”
Tell me, how the hell could you talk,
How could you talk?
Cause until you walk where I walk,
It’s just no joke!
Till it happens to you, you don’t know
How it feels,
How it feels.
Till it happens to you, you won’t know
It won’t be real (how could you know?)
No It won’t be real (how could you know?)
Won’t know how I feel
Till your world burns and crashes
Till you’re at the end, the end of your rope
Till you’re standing in my shoes, I don’t wanna hear a thing or two
From you, from you, cause you don’t know
Till it happens to you, you don’t know
How I feel
How I feel
How I feel
Till it happens to you, you won’t know
It won’t be real (how could you know?)
No It won’t be real (how could you know?)
Won’t know how It feels
Till it happens to you, happens to you,
Happens to you.
Happens to you, happens to you,
Happens to you ( how could you know?)
Till it happens to you, you won’t know how I feel
