Apistat Commander
Xiu Xiu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's good, it's not so hard now
Up, I bite my tongue, who cares?
This chance to drop off
All that you left you left for someone
All of this hurt that's wilted off
All this relief, it's the oddest thing
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God
Chen, he'll never come that's fine
I lost my thought
Wei, Huai could talk me down
Still, still this chance to drop off
The song "Apistat Commander" by Xiu Xiu starts with the singer going up along the rocks, but the journey is not so hard now. He bites his tongue, indicating that he is trying to be quiet about his pain. Despite the challenge, he still sees this as a chance to drop off. The lyrics suggest that the pain he is feeling is related to someone who has left him. He talks about hurt that has wilted off and relief that seems odd. The repetition of "Oh my God" conveys the magnitude of the pain he is experiencing and how it is affecting him.
The singer mentions a person named Chen, who he says will never come. This suggests that he may be waiting for someone or hoping for a reunion that he knows will never happen. He loses his thought, indicating the overwhelming and disorienting power of his emotions. He also mentions Wei Huai, who could talk him down, but he still sees this as a chance to drop off. The song ends with the singer still trying to move past the pain, but finding it difficult to do so.
Overall, the song seems to be about someone trying to cope with the pain of a failed relationship. The lyrics convey a sense of loss, hurt, and confusion, as well as a desire to move past the pain and find some kind of relief.

This is just soul crushing. I'm a grown ass adult and I can't handle jamie's music. It's too much.
