About

The title “Saint Dymphna” comes from a 7th century saint who was abused and ultimately killed by her father. This song – one of Xiu Xiu’s most powerful and moving – seems to be a message of support to someone trying to escape an abusive relationship, whose pain Jamie is comparing to the saint’s.

Saint Dymphna Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jamie Stewart & Twin Shadow]
Getting used to battery
Getting used to getting through it
Consequence of no consequence
If any calm, a calm despair

[Verse 2: Jamie Stewart & Twin Shadow / Both]
Each nite is stupid
Callous, severe
Each nite is out of control
Brutal and cruel
Headphones turned up
Cuckoo and bright
Scream into the flickering void

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Stewart]
Black lipstick
No eyebrows
Black pharmacy hair
No safe place to stay

[Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Twin Shadow]
You've tried to run before
And you will try again
He is not what you are
His life is not the end

[Verse 3: Jamie Stewart & Twin Shadow / Both]
Caring not for the thorns
But the thorns are always therе
Wait as you lead the way
Maculate to immaculatе

[Verse 4: Jamie Stewart / Jamie Stewart & Twin Shadow]
Each day, ludicrous
Cuckoo and bright
Each day preposterous rot
Brutal and cruel
Volca turned up
Callous, severe
Riot into glittering space

[Pre-Chorus: Jamie Stewart]
Black trench coat
No bus pass
Black pointed shoes
No safe place to stay

[Chorus: Jamie Stewart & Twin Shadow]
You’ve tried to run before
And you will try again
He is not what you are
His life is not the end
You've tried to run before
And you will try again
This is not what you are
This life is not the end
