Valentine
Linus Young Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You want to love me
But I know you can't
You want to find out
But you don't want to put
Anything in this head
You know that I can be with you
Oh, I can follow through
But there's nothing that's gonna make me
Be with you
But every day's a struggle baby
Hold on, wait a minute
You want to love me
But I know you can't
You want to find out
But you don't want to put
Anything in this head
Hold on, wait a minute
You know that I can be with you
Oh, I can follow through
But there's nothing that's gonna make me
Be with you
Every day's a struggle baby
The lyrics of Linus Young's song "Valentine" are powerful and emotive, with a clear message that can be interpreted in a number of different ways. At its core, the song is about the struggle between wanting to be loved and wanting to be true to oneself. The singer is faced with the prospect of being in a relationship with someone who wants to be with them, but who they know is not the right fit.
The lines "Hold on, wait a minute, you want to love me, but I know you can't" and "every day's a struggle baby" express the sense of conflict that the singer is feeling. They know that there is an opportunity for love, but they are hesitant to take it because they do not feel that the other person truly understands them. There is a sense of longing in the lyrics, but also a sense of resignation. Ultimately, the singer is willing to take the risk, but they are also aware of the potential pitfalls.
In essence, "Valentine" is a song about the complexity of relationships, and the ways in which our desires and needs can sometimes be at odds with each other. It is a poignant and evocative track that captures the emotional depth of this struggle.
