XYU is definitely a song about young Billy's rape fantasies

It's probably just about two maladjusted, unstable people in a dysfunctional relationship.
I.e. about his relationship with Courtney Love. |

XYU = ex, why you? It's about his ex wife.
It's not a pro-life anthem. The rant from barnburner XYU 10/31/98 is alluding to the in-progress GATGC |

He was still married genius. Chris was even on Modern Rock Live with him right after MCIS came out. It’s clearly about Courtney.

They weren’t broken up. Seriously doubt you’re gonna write a song about how much you want to murder and rape your wife, which is what XYU is, while still married.

It's obviously about an abusive, fucked up situation, and I agree there are many proto-MRA type feelings, but he says break, not rape.

"i wanna fill you up" "i wanna break you" "knows that she could never hide" "i couldn't feel her" "you're all mine" to be clear i don't think writing about this/singing about it means someone would or even wants to do something like this in reality but it's totally about rape. i don't know how to describe it, but there's totally a reason trying to leave abusive men is very dangerous. false imprisonment/rape/murdering you and/or your children is a real threat |

it's about trying to save a relationship through domination
poor sweet little billy doesn't want to be all rapey, he'd much prefer to be in love and be gentle. but she's crazy. So he has to be crazier and controlling. classic dysfunctional relationship. the kind that ends in restraining orders. yes they're both crazy. |

Not too far off. Billy talked about it in the liner notes for TAFH. Jimmy's drum pedal broke and the band kept playing the riff while he fixed it. When it took longer than they realized, D'arcy stopped but Billy and James just kept it up to annoy everyone. Once the pedal was fixed, you hear Jimmy jump right back in at the end of the recording. Actually one of the funner/more charming things Billy wrote about in the liner notes for the reissues.
