HARD CANDY
“Don't leave the house naked - some men are provoked by this. Don't leave the house dressed - some men are provoked by any clothes. Don't leave the house alone in the evening - this provokes men. Do not leave the house at any time - some men are provoked by any situation. Do not leave the house with a friend - some men are provoked by the fact that there are two of you. Don't leave home with a friend - some friends may rape. Do not stay at home - you can be raped by both your own and someone else's. Avoid childhood - some rapists are turned on by little girls. Avoid Old Age - Some rapists "prefer" older women. Do not have a father, grandfather, uncle, or brother - it is these relatives who most often rape young women. Do without neighbors - they are the ones who most often rape women. Do not marry - rape becomes legal in marriage. ... And to surely avoid rape - do not be born at all. "
(From the book "Who is to blame")
“- He's very Hungry. He watched her for ages. And there are millions like her. They are all beautiful as angels.
And each is watched by its own beast. Beast as a thriller. At first he keeps a secret. Creates tension, and then grabs the victim. I wrote "Hard Candy" when a terrible, irreparable event happened in my life. One angel of mine was forced to love by force.


Although physically the angel survived, but that main part of purity and love in him burned out. I didn't save this light.


For what ? What for ? Thoughts only about what lives in these monsters? Who drives them? Since childhood, I was fond of horror and I was interested in the mind of killers - I always tried to figure out how and why they come to this. The song helped me get into the mind of the monster. I wrote it on behalf of the beast. Without justifying it, I nevertheless ended up with the same despair, although my monster in the song still feels something.
I wrote the music on behalf of the killer. This is madness !!! But I thus rebooted myself. I shared the torment with the angel.
This song will remain forever, as the most terrible memory. And let it be like a work of art. Let it be the most magical and mystical sound. Let her be a dream. "
Billy Blake (musician)
“- Clip Hurd candy - about rape. Hard candy is a dream of a girl who has been abused.
Sleep takes on bizarre forms and is absolutely cyclical. It is repeated from night to night, from one scene the girl falls into another where she tries to hide from her pursuers. Her subconscious mind builds new worlds (amusement park, forest) - but she is found everywhere and there is no salvation.

First, a thin stream of blood flows between the girl's legs, then a whole bathtub is poured into this blood (as a symbol of violence in the world), then the bathtub turns into a pool in which the heroine drowns and then the blood is poured as rain on her umbrella, in the scene where the heroine is watching the labyrinth , in which the criminals pursue her .. An indifferently smoking woman near the entrance symbolizes society with its “own fault”!

In the video, the girl dies and is reborn. Blooming trees symbolize her innocence, bare trees symbolize her loss.

In the final scene, we see her sleeping at home. But the door is ajar and the leaves lying on the floor tell us that the dream is a reality. And the border “were” and “were not” with this girl is erased. "

Directed by Maria Petukhova.

The victim never provokes violence. Violence is not provoked! Violence is committed. Nobody wants to be raped, nobody deserves it. All people have the right to live in safety and without fear everywhere, including their own home! Women's rights are human rights, and rape is a crime against the individual.


“Night street is yours too. This is not the undivided domain of rapists and robbers. And it is not your fault that you walked along the night street alone, beautiful and carefree. "
