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.

I remember listening to Xiu Xiu a lot when I was teenager. I bought every album until I was 27 and haven‘t listen to their latest album yet. Fabulous Muscles and The Air Force had such a strong effect on me and this song especially.

I was 15 when I realized I‘m trans and their songs just perfectly captured my own confusion and sensitivity, just being overwhelmed by a world that you don‘t understand and vice versa.

It‘s 14 years after I came out to my family. I‘m sitting at the window, watching the wet street outside, smoking and drinking some wine and I realize that this song hasn‘t a lost single ounce of the effect it had on me when I was a confused teenager. It really is that beautiful and blunt and honest.

I also remember that I met Jamie once at a concert and I gave him a painting that I made of him. He didn‘t say a word and just hugged me and my girlfriend, like he knew and understood. It‘s good to know that wherever, whenever or whoever you are there is a person out there who might not be like you but understands and knows how you feel.

Thanks Jamie!

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 ‘histroic de la famile
It’s l’histroic 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 'cause 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

The world is a harsh place, governed by a species of godlike, hairless apes, intelligent insofar as they are aware of their own death. They are not kind gods. They use their authority to inflict unimaginable, seemingly infinite amounts of cruelty and torment onto each other. They do it because it's fun. Because it will get them what they want. They spit in the face of empathy. They lack any soul or remorse. They are not touched at all by the suffering pleas of others.

They cannot be redeemed. Even if you tried, they would simply refuse the opportunity. They have before. They will again.

If a loving God existed, He would wipe them off the face of the Earth as soon as he got the chance.

But there are a small amount of these creatures that despite this knowledge, despite all of the inhumanity these animals have shown each other, continue to treat even random strangers with kindness. They Love. No matter how many times they are mercilessly mocked, no matter how many times people have let them down. Perhaps when one of these souls touches another, they give each other something no one else in this world has: a chance. Hope. Some escape. Some relief. A chance at a decent life that is, in the end, worth living.

That's the message Jamie Stewart was sent to this world to deliver.
