What I've always wondered was who Ava Adore and XYU are about, if anybody.

i think its EX-WHY-YOU talking about his ex wife? thats what ive heard

In the Aeroplane Flies High booklet Billy mentions something about "t.v. generation x.y.u."

See, that's like a big artistic/poetic rant. It doesn't seem to really mean that much.

I’ve heard XYU was written about Courtney

I have heard

many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many


things about who or what X.Y.U. is about.

I've heard that XYU is about abortion. So add that one in the pile.

I always wonder about Medellia.
<3

yeah, that one seems like it could be for someone too- hard to say though.

i like your pic TwilightFades- are those pumpkins?

Yeah she was from Red Red Meat. My brother and I had transcribed and summarized some info about "Glynis" for website awhile ago. Here's the info that we have up:

The song is about a girl named Glynis from Red Red Meat. She became very sick and no one knew what was wrong. Then she found out she had AIDS and died 2 months later. Billy said that he didn't know her very well, but that he knew of her for a long time and that they played with her band before. Billy also said, "I don't mean to undermine one person's passing but I think it affected me more to hear how people talked about her dying and how they moralized about it, than it did the fact that a
person's life had passed"-From the No Alternative video.

i've never heard that story. i love the song though.

I've heard Soma is written about his divorce with Chris.

Billy told me back in 2001 that he wrote "Stand Inside Your Love" for Jimmy.

WTF? LOL wow

Has anyone heard the song "Aerials" by System of a Down? It sounds like one of their more meaningful, poetic, metaphorical songs, but they insist that it "isn't about anything".

1600th post.
