About Knifey

“Knifey” is an anthem to the ongoing fear of being alone on the street at night that exists amongst young women and non-binary people across Melbourne and Australia. There have been several high-profile attacks on women who have been returning home from a night out across the city. This includes the murder of Jill Meagher in 2012 and the murder of Eurydice Dixon in 2018. Both occurred in Melbourne, and both women were attacked when walking home at night in a public area. .

Knifey Lyrics

All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please, stop fucking me up
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how I get home nicely
I turn around and back track because I ain't that tough
But you still fuck me up
All I ever wanted was to walk in the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please, stop fucking me up
Nothing more important to me than just living
I'd rather be alive and well, and locked up in prison
I turn around and backtrack because I ain't that tough
I'm a sick demented monster with my hands around your throat
My knees inside of your guts
I turn around and backtrack because I ain't that tough
But you still fuck me up
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please, stop fucking me up
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how we get home nicely
Please, 'cause you've been fucking with us
And now, we're fuckin' tough
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river after dark
Please, because I ain't that tough
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how I get home nightly
I turn around and backtrack because I ain't that tough
But you still fuck with us
All I ever wanted was to walk by the park
All I ever wanted was to walk by the river, see the stars
Please, stop fucking with us
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how I get home nicely
Please, 'cause you've been fucking with us
And now, we'll fuck you up
Out comes the night, out comes my knifey
This is how we get home nicely
Please, 'cause you've been fucking with us
'Cause we're just not that tough
