Black Valentine
Caro Emerald(카로 에메랄드) Lyrics

Who needs a captain on a love ship?
Who needs someone leading the way of love, without knowing where they're headed? That's quite an adventurous and possibly dangerous journey to embark on.

Someone with no clue of the destination due bow
That someone is clueless of where they're going, and that's where they'll end up.

Ain’t that a trip?
Isn't this an exciting yet risky adventure?

Who needs a diamond on a hand of stone?
Who needs a precious jewel on a heartless person?

Someone with the hurt who couldn’t make it work,
Someone who has been hurt before and is unable to make a relationship work.

A trophy because you slipped
Being treated like a mere trophy by someone who only wants to feel successful and less like a failure.

Love can’t conquer anything
Love, on its own, is not enough to overcome anything.

If it’s lost without a trace
If it's gone and there's no chance for recovery.

You might be tough, you might even be strong
You might think you're impervious and resilient.

But not when you’re in this place
But not when you're in this emotional state.

Secret lovers, get lost in the secrets they tell
Sneaking around with a lover creates a world of secrecy.

They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
Keeping lies from your lover can blind them from the truth.

Secret lovers, it’s just your place of mind
Having a secret lover is only possible in your subconscious.

A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
A life of deception, hidden relationships, and emotional turmoil is what the Black Valentine leads.

Who needs a journey on a runaway train?
Who would want to go on a ride with someone who is reckless and uncontrollable?

Your ticket isn’t worth half of what it hurts
The ticket isn't worth the pain and damage it causes.

When heart beats overwork
When the heart's overworking due to risky decisions.

Who needs redemption from a guiltless crime?
Why try to redeem yourself from a crime you didn't even commit?

Someone caries dreams from scene to scene
Someone brings their fantasies from one relationship to another, never being fully present in the moment.

'Til they tear apart your mind
Until those fantasies and dreams lead to the destruction of one's mental state.

You’ll be awake, you’ll twist your fate
You'll wake up and realize that your fate has been changed in a negative way.

That’s not someone you should keep
That's not someone worth keeping in your life.

This is their demand for another night they spend in self-conversation
This is their longing to spend another night talking to themselves about their situation.

It’s a will they came to pose in a letter left they’ve composed
It's a request they decided to write down in a letter they've composed.

To repeat the situation
To go through the same cycle again.

They lie in a loop
They remain in a continuous cycle of deception and emotional strain.

Secret lovers, get lost in the secrets they tell
Sneaking around can lead to losing oneself in the secrets they create.

They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
Their lies can blind them from seeing the truth about the relationship.

Secret lovers, it’s just your place of mind
Your secret lover only exists in your mind.

A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
The Black Valentine is someone who lives a life of hidden relationships, emotional turmoil, and ultimately, deception.
