Xiu Xiu Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

PREThat's a pill and you've got to take it
That's a pill that you've got to take
I won't rest until you take it
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
It's l'histoire de la famille
It's l'histoire de la femme
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
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
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
Je t'aime the valley
Je t'aime the valley OH!!!
I am an orphan de la valley
And I won't rest until I forget about it
I won't rest until I don't care
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA /PRE

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Xiu Xiu's "I Luv the Valley OH" are characterized by dark imagery that convey feelings of despair, longing, and self-destruction. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer referring to a metaphorical pill that the listener must take. The urgency and repetition of the line suggest that there is something important, perhaps even transformative, about taking this pill. However, the singer's motivation for wanting the listener to take the pill is not immediately clear.


The next lines shift the focus to a heart that has been made by two individuals, presumably the singer and the listener. Again, there is a sense of urgency and determination in the singer's voice as he proclaims that he won't rest until he breaks the heart. This could be interpreted in a few different ways. It could suggest that the singer is seeking revenge on the listener for some past wrong, or it could be an expression of self-destructive tendencies, a desire to hurt himself by breaking his own heart. Either way, the singer's fixation on this heart and his determination to destroy it suggest a deep emotional pain that he is unable to escape.


The rest of the lyrics are similarly dark and cryptic, with references to razors and threats, as well as an expression of love for a place called "the valley OH!!!" The repeated refrain of "I won't rest until" creates a sense of unease and restlessness, suggesting that the singer is caught in a cycle of self-destructive behavior that he can't break free from. Overall, the lyrics of "I Luv the Valley OH" are haunting and powerful, evoking complex emotions and ideas that are open to interpretation.
