I should think it obvious that at least part of the song (the part in the title and repeated over and over in the chorus) is about "before you were born", someone kicked in the door.
The idea that this is about abortion is borne (ha ha) of a far too liberal (ha ha) interpretation.
Those seeking abortion are not "kicking in" anything unless it is a state-mandated abortion, which is rare on earth.
The interpretation of the song being sung to a child born as a result of rape seems to be strongly implied if not stated explicitly. Rapists often, in fact, kick in the doors of their victims.
I hear very little sympathy in this song. I hear the damning of the rapist (faceless father) but nothing approaching loving acceptance of the child, quite the opposite.
This would seem to be a very "pro choice" song, if anything to do with abortion is intended, seeing as how the child is told "there is no place for you here", "you are not wanted here", "stay back where you belong", which in a world of self-obsessed, egotistical narcissists, is very, very true. Even the so-called "pro life" activists of this world HATE the children who are born into poverty, abuse, and neglect. Look at how they vote on issues surrounding welfare, education funding, the justice system, etc.
This song is a song intended to make people born from circumstances from rape commit suicide. For stating such hateful thoughts and not overtly making any hopeful, loving statements for the listener, the band's song writer is an inhuman monster. It's one reason I never appreciated Toad the Wet Sprocket.
God damn the song writer for making me wake up at two o'clock in the morning and wonder what the f--k that 90s song was about. Since I've read the lyrics, I now know. The writer hates people born of rape. He thinks they should die for the crime their faceless fathers committed. How cruel.
@CravenImages wow that’s strong statement and how do you feel like you know extra what it’ll about and how they feel about your certainty that it’s really about the band hating children born from rape and in poverty and that they think that people born out of rape should not be alive and or should commit suicide? That’s a really strong interpretation and not a good one. Iff you have really really ever listened to this band and the things they are singing about in general and I’m not even a huge fan or st least I have not pa...

That’s a really strong interpretation and not a good one. Iff you have really really ever listened to this band and the things they are singing about in general and I’m not even a huge fan or st least I have not pa ton of their stuff but I can listen and see what I can figure out if I have any ideas about what it means because I’m all about the lyrics and the writing of music and everything else and If I don’t know I sometimes look at it up and I just can’t get your ridiculous idea and the fact that you had the balls and the certainty of what you believe as truth and not a doubt that you could write a shit comment about your OPINION AND POST ABOUT THE SINGER/ SONG WRITER IS SAYING THAT PEOPLE BORN FROM RAPE SHOULD KILL THEMSELVES!?! You probably have put that ridiculous thing in any person that reads your own opinion about the suicide and the other drivel that you spew. I’m not going to tell you that I’m certain that I can tell the exact truth of the meaning of the song but I am confident that you are so wrong and I would bet you anything that you have an issue with your attitude in general and you have a tendency to believe that you’re not wrong about anything really and I’m just guessing here that you are not the most open minded person in the world or the block you live on? You don’t need to write such strong words on your mere opinion that your words can actually do wrong for someone who read it and that maybe is going through a hard time and maybe not thinking the clearest of ways but your opinion is a trigger and can be harmful in itself as you are cussing out and calling me writer inhuman monster and cruel and whatever your brilliant and ironically judgmental and ignorant af else you said. I’m not sure if you can comprehend that what you did was being assuming and judgemental as you called someone else out for being judgmental and not being so nice and you don’t see anything about that that is a little bit of a hypocrite at the very least but I’m still thinking you might just kinds need to open up the mind just a little or just not write your own thoughts or ideas or anything at all actually ever cuz I never write reviews or opinion on jack online or elsewhere but you have just been tooo hard to ignore with the absurd and ridiculous things you say that I almost want to read more about your feelings and opinion on various issues and see if you had a bad idea to do that or if it is just a little piece of many many more wise and well thought out things that you do with your time. I said almost. I’m done ranting about how stupidly or that comment and the fact you don’t even know what it’s really really about at all by any means. Just that you read the lyrics and now you know what it means and what they believe and how they feel and that they are for sure just horrible people that are saying horrible things and suggesting they want children of rape to die or even worse they should kill themselves and omg you are just infuriating that I can’t stop. I just need to. Hopefully you don’t suck nearly as much as I am positive that you do. So happy to not know you at all my gut hurts that people are such ignored and stupid and it’s just getting worse and I feel little faith in humans and now I’m really dono as I feel like I’m getting as annoying as your words are..,, but best of luck to you and you are dumb and I’m sorry for actually calling a stranger that I can’t believe I’m reading that this is real and I have disappointed myself for lowering my standards I just couldn’t…..
