“I wrote the song when both my wife and daughter were bedridden with a terrible illness,” Barnes tells Rolling Stone. “It was during the middle of our recording sessions for Sylvianbriar, so I was pretty paranoid about catching what they had. I would sort of hold my breath whenever I was near them....
She Ain’t Speakin’ Now Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Like some sepulchral tableau
I sit frozen holding your hand
Though I’m trying to think only
Positive thoughts I understand
That this tomorrow
May not be the tomorrow that
Your eviscerating suffering will end
Oh, will you ever be yourself again?
[Chorus 1]
Girl with the flu, I hear the death rheum
She ain’t doin' well
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless
Her psyche's cracked or, anyhow
She ain't speakin' now
[Verse 2]
Nightfall, like some leaden sea
Dilates as I hold vigil by your bed
Watching the pillowcase soaking with sweat around your head
I can't repel this sneaking veil of morbidity
That's disfiguring the seraph of your face
Oh, the organism's been debased
[Chorus 2]
Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune
She ain’t doin' well
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless
Her psyche's shattered or, anyhow
She ain't speakin' now
[Bridge]
You scream that the books
Are falling off of the shelf onto you
But I can't see them
Your hallucination ravings
I'm writing them all down so
You can read them
When your mind no longer aches
And your febrility breaks
[Chorus 1 + 2]
Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune
She ain’t doin' well
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless
Her psyche's cracked or, anyhow
She ain't speakin' now
Girl with the flu, I hear the death rune
She ain’t doin' well
Her eyes they seem cast and fatherless
Her psyche's shattered or, anyhow
She ain't speakin' now

What did of Montreal say about "She Ain't Speakin' Now"?
I came back from San Francisco, and my wife Nina and my daughter were both really sick. They both had this terrible flu. Nina came out to visit me for a weekend, and she had the misfortune of sitting next to this woman that was terribly sick and had no business flying. She was coughing and sneezing...
