| Xiu Xiu – I Luv the Valley OH! Lyrics | 16 years ago |

To me this song is about a breakup. Every time I hear it, i find a way to equate it to my life. "That's a pill and you've got to take it. That's a pill that you've got to take" In this sentence, i find pill to be a metaphor for pride. and like a pill, he's telling his partner to swallow his/her pride. "I won't rest until you take it" He won't be satisfied until they swallow their pride "That's a heart that you made. That's a heart and the both of you made it. And I won't rest until I break it" The person made jamie love him/her. He's so angry all he wants to do is break the love. "It�s �histroic de la famile. It�s l�histroic de la FAM" the history of the family (and his history (maybe his mother/etc)) is to be too eager to love and get hurt. "And I won't rest until I forget about it. I won't rest until I don't care. I won't rest until I forget about it. La La La La La La La" heartbroken. he wants to forgets. he's frustrated, scared, upset, disappointed. basically feeling every emotion possible by this break up and he's reluctant to hear the other side of the argument from his partner (lalalalalala). "That's a razor and you will make a threat. That's a razor make million billion threats. And I won't rest cuz I heard it all before" his partner is threatening to leave him. the razor could be a metaphorical knife that comes to play in the next line. "My behind is a beehive, there's a buzz in my backside. My behind is a beehive and I won't rest while you break my will" In this line. i believe jamie stewart is saying that his partner "stabbed him in the back." that's the buzzing feeling. and by saying his back is a beehive he is basically suggesting that he feels like he is a target for getting stabbed in the back by loved ones. "Je t�aime the valley. Je t�aime the valley OH!!! I am an orphan de la valley" I believe in this line jamie is using the valley as being in the low and heartbroken situation he is currently in from the breakup. He is attempting, nonsensically and with pride and spite, to say that he love being . kinda a "take that" to his ex. the orphan line suggests that nasty breakups like this are common so he is trying to not be phased by it. however he is failing miserably and letting his pride engulf him as to not feel bad about the whole breakup. whether the breakup was cheating, i am not sure, but it is pretty clear that it wasn't mutual. This is my spin folks. i hope it like it. every time i hear it, i empathize and it only get more powerful. |
