about

This song is about domestic violence and coercive control. So many womyn experience violence and coercion in their intimate relationship, or are recovering from it. We see them. We support them. We call out some womyn’s names in this song who are struggling and will change those names adding more womyn if they reach out to us.

lyrics

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Death by 1000 cuts

Comments about the way you dress, a fist through the wall
Helping too damn much, making sure he does it all. What to buy,
when to buy it, methods of control
Get out of the simmering pot, it’s gunna start to boil!

Slip through the cracks now
Cracks like canyons

It’s not okay to talk about
That time he held you down
You kicked and screamed and fought
But didn’t win that round. Your story’s
too confronting, vulgar and distressed
So don’t say anything, shut up that’s probably best.

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Death by 1000 cuts

Walking on eggshells here, feeling so much shame
He’s so keen to tell you, that you’re the one to blame. Turn to
Him to get the proof, part of the reason why
it’s so fucking hard to escape, I’m not gunna lie

Slip through the cracks now
Cracks like canyons

You’ve finally got the courage to change and yes to leave
He doesn’t take it well, off he goes on the rage
You use your voice to tell the truth, it doesn’t matter though
He’s nice, no one believes you, but don’t hold your head low

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Death by 1000 cuts

We see you Rachel, we see you Danielle, We see you Cole,
we see you Shanice, we see you Lee, We see you Angela

Let’s close the cracks now
Cracks like canyons

Colonial conditioning, keeps us from holding space
Don’t conform toxic crap,
Let’s join and kick their arse. Change the laws,
Change the culture, the stingy fucking ‘tude.
Build community, do it ourselves
Take control, call it out!

Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya killing me!
Death by 1000 cuts

Hot Mess! Bellingen, Australia

Hot Mess are a three-piece womyn’s punk band from the Bellinger river, Bindarray Yurruun, on Gumbaynggirr Country on the mid- North coast of NSW. We are Cole Flett (vocals, guitar), Jo Ware (vocals, drums) and Sarah Wright (vocals, bass) and we play feminist, menopausal, garage, punk rock. We have a lot to say and we reckon that an old school, womyn’s punk band is the perfect way to say it, loudly! ... more
