Valentine
Mr. Little Jeans Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You got a hold on me
I built a lot of good something
With no air to breathe
Listen honey valentine do you
Fill my head with a tainted view
Is it box-ticking confusion
Do it double time
Walk out of line
The neighbors thinking what they do
Steer or collide
Oh what a ride
It's always been just me and you
La la la la la la la la
Gotta get with the bulletproof
Why stick with another
Black cat walking through the city
While the clock's noise makes a
Heart commotion
Cut down on the sugar pretty
I say
Listen honey valentine do you
Fill my head with a tainted view
Is it box-ticking confusion
Feel faint but I wear my head high
In Mr. Little Jeans's song "Valentine," the singer is expressing their desperation for their significant other, saying "I am begging, you got a hold on me." The singer has built something good, but feels suffocated and unable to breathe. The chorus asks their partner if they are filling their head with a "tainted view" and if they are confused, but the singer remains steadfast with their head high. The bridge talks about going against the norm, walking out of line, and the thrill of the ride, all while holding onto their love.
The lyrics seem to be about a love that is overwhelming and suffocating, but the singer is still willing to fight for it. They question the intentions of their partner and the confusion they feel, but ultimately the love prevails. The lyrics also touch on the idea of breaking away from societal norms and expectations in order to hold onto love. The repetition of "La la la la la la la la" adds a dreamy and nostalgic quality to the song.

I am begging
I am desperately pleading
You got a hold on me
You have a strong grip on me
I built a lot of good something
I created many good things
With no air to breathe
Despite feeling suffocated
Listen honey valentine do you
Listen, my dear valentine, do you
Fill my head with a tainted view
Are you filling my mind with distorted ideas?
Is it box-ticking confusion
Are you just going through the motions?
Feel faint but I wear my head high
I feel weak but I project confidence
Do it double time
Do it twice as fast
Walk out of line
Behave unconventionally
The neighbors thinking what they do
The neighbors are gossiping
Steer or collide
Make a choice before crashing
Oh what a ride
What a crazy experience
It's always been just me and you
We've always been together
Gotta get with the bulletproof
Need to toughen up
Why stick with another
Why stay with someone else?
Black cat walking through the city
A superstitious symbol of bad luck
While the clock's noise makes a heart commotion
The ticking makes me anxious
Cut down on the sugar pretty
Reduce the sweetness, my dear
