Valentine
Ambra Lyrics

Valentine in December
The month of February is traditionally associated with Valentine's Day, but the singer is highlighting that the romance of this holiday is missing from her relationship in December.

You say you love me, but you don't remember
The singer's partner claims to love her, but they forget important details about her. This lack of attention is a sign that their love is not genuine.

My name, you cause me pain
Forgetting her name is a small but painful example of how the singer's partner is not fully invested in their relationship.

All girls are the same
The artist is expressing her frustration with how her partner sees her and potentially other women as interchangeable and not worth knowing as individuals.

Attachment to me is a crime
The artist is suggesting that their partner seems to see their relationship as something that is shameful or punishable, rather than something to be valued and nurtured.

Breaking me still I keep acting surprised
Despite their partner's mistreatment, the singer is still surprised and hurt each time something goes wrong in their relationship. This shows the depth of her desire to make things work.

Ich mag dich mehr, wenn du bist weniger
This line is in German and translates to "I like you more when you are less". The singer is revealing that their partner's overwhelming attention and affection is not what they want or need to feel loved and validated.

Drowning in words that you couldn't hold on to
The artist is overwhelmed by her partner's constant declarations of love and commitment, but these words seem empty and insincere because their partner cannot follow up on them with meaningful attention and action.

You keep pushing me in the cold water
This line suggests that the artist feels like her partner is constantly testing her, pushing her to her limits, and seeing if she will remain loyal and committed in difficult circumstances.

In the cold water, to see if this is pure or not
The artist's partner may be testing their love to see if it can withstand adversity or hardship, but this process feels isolating and cruel to the artist.

I don't feel hungry, I wanna go to sleep
The singer's partner is failing to meet her emotional needs or make her feel loved and valued, which is draining and exhausting. She would rather retreat into sleep than stay awake and face this reality.

Tired of everbody acting sketchy
The artist is becoming disillusioned with people in general, potentially because the people around her are not meeting her standards for honesty, kindness, or loyalty.

Kissing Cupido goodbye
The singer is rejecting the myth of Cupid, the god of love, and the idea that love should be easy, magical, or effortless. She recognizes that her own experiences with love are more complicated and painful than this myth suggests.

His arrow caused me red eyes that make me wish I was blind
This line compares the pain of heartbreak to the stinging sensation of getting something in your eyes. The singer wishes to be blind to this pain and not have to face the reality of her relationship.

At some point you owned my mind, at some point wanted to hide
The singer acknowledges that there was a time when she was fully absorbed in her relationship and wanted to hide away with her partner. However, this feeling has now faded and their relationship is no longer fulfilling her needs.
