Black Valentine
Emerald Caro Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone with no clue of the destination due bow
Ain’t that a trip?
Who needs a diamond on a hand of stone?
Someone with the hurt who couldn’t make it work,
A trophy because you slipped
If it’s lost without a trace
You might be tough, you might even be strong
But not when you’re in this place
Secret lovers, get lost in the secrets they tell
They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
Secret lovers, it’s just your place of mind
A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
Who needs a journey on a runaway train?
Your ticket isn’t worth half of what it hurts
When heart beats overwork
Who needs redemption from a guiltless crime?
Someone caries dreams from scene to scene
'Til they tear apart your mind
Love can’t conquer anything
If it’s hurting in the deep
You’ll be awake, you’ll twist your fate
That’s not someone you should keep
Secret lovers, get lost in the secrets they tell
They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
Secret lovers, it’s just your place of mind
A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
This is their demand for another night they spend in self-conversation
It’s a will they came to pose in a letter left they’ve composed
To repeat the situation
They lie in a loop
Secret lovers, get lost in the secrets they tell
They make lovers blind when they cover every inch of their lies
Secret lovers, it’s just your place of mind
A smoke and some wine is the life of the Black Valentine
In Emerald Caro's song "Black Valentine", the lyrics speak to the idea that love can be complicated and deceptive. The first verse questions the need for a leader in a relationship when they are clueless about where they are going. The second verse chides the idea of having a diamond or a trophy as a symbol of love when it is really just a reminder of failure. The chorus highlights the idea of secret lovers and how they get lost in the lies they tell themselves and others. They use smoke and wine as a coping mechanism to deal with the pain and uncertainty that love can bring.
The second verse talks about trying to redeem yourself from a guiltless crime, which alludes to the idea that sometimes, we blame ourselves for things that were beyond our control. The lyrics highlight that love cannot conquer all, especially if it is lost, hurting, and deep within our hearts. The lyrics suggest that one should not hold onto something that tears us apart and hurts us.
The song speaks to the theme of love and the complexities that come with it. The lyrics challenge the idea of what love is and what it is supposed to be. It is a reminder that love can be a double-edged sword, and it is up to us to navigate the uncertain waters of love to find happiness and contentment.

Caro Emerald! She is so beautiful and the best jazz singer I've ever heard!
Супер!💔
@davidk.1933
Hollywood! Are you listening? This song is ABSOLUTELY made for a Bond film! "The Black Valentine" would be stupendous. A perfect mix of theme, musical arrangements, and oh my, that guitar gives me chills! Caro's voice? Sultry, passionate, clear, gifted tonal qualities all through her range. What a "money maker" this would be, and a "gift" to a wanting audience. What are you waiting for??????
@khatijahwanramli2763
One of the best Rythmn and Blues. WOW...so amazingly beautiful
@karlson5510
