XYU was written in the middle of the night when billy was looking for food in the fridge but couldn't find anything...i doubt it has a point


i could be wrong though

Re: xyu. 2 Years, 6 Months ago  
i don't know what X.Y.U. is really about or what the conditions were when Billy wrote it but I always thought it was about a guy who was out having sex because he was bored and ended up getting a girl pregnant. I could be totally off base but that is how I have always translated it.

Re: xyu. 2 Years, 6 Months ago

Hey I never thought of it that way

But heres some lyrics from the song that could hint out to an ex-girlfriend:
No one should come between us
Still I was lonely, and she was by my side, my one and only
Knows that she could never hide
I couldn't feel her, and it was just a game,
Cause I was lonely and she was crazy

I always thought X.Y.U. was about the insane, dangerous rage someone feels towards this girl who left him or doesn't want him...

I believe this was written about his soon to be ex-wife, and Billy did say it was short for "Ex, Why You." Much like, F*ck You, An ode to No One was also about her. I think he discussed this openly at one point, way back in the day.

No problem, I just don't think his divorce was final until dec 96 or something actually - maybe I'm wrong. . and actually I guess I don't care too much about his past love life to go verify when, to be quite honest.
