Strata G, the bold Australian storyteller, pulls no punches in Rita. Across vivid scenes, we follow a little girl whose childhood is shattered by her own father’s abuse. Hospital visits, classroom daydreams, and disturbing drawings reveal Rita’s silent screams as she grows up trapped in a house that feels like “the address of Hell.” The lyrics lay out every shadowy detail: a predator who films his crimes, a daughter who clings to prayer beads for courage, and a world that seems to watch but not intervene.
Yet the song is more than tragedy; it is a raw anthem of survival and reckoning. At seventeen, Rita decides the cycle ends with her. In one decisive moment she confronts her tormentor, reclaiming her voice and her life while telling him, with knife in hand, that he is “forgiven” only as she frees herself. Strata G’s message is crystal clear: countless “Ritas” exist, and their stories deserve to be heard, believed, and supported. The track shines a harsh light on family abuse, resilience, and overdue justice, urging listeners to stand with victims and break the silence.
