There are many theories regarding naming of a certain episode of the television series X as Y. Some
of them are:

love with a Mexican girl named Y in the border town of El Paso, Texas and kills one of her suitors out

sneaks past a group of lawmen to the bar where Y would dance. The song ends as Y puts a bullet in
the narrator’s heart, but she kisses him on the cheek one last time before he dies. According to a
theorist, Y symbolizes the lust for power and control of the show’s protagonist.
