Valentine
Mr Little Jeans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am begging
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
Feel faint but I wear my head high

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr Little Jeans's "Valentine" are open to interpretation, but overall the song seems to be about a person who is struggling with their feelings towards someone they are in a relationship with. The first verse includes the lines "You got a hold on me / I built a lot of good something / With no air to breathe," which suggests that the singer is feeling suffocated or trapped in their relationship. They might feel like they have built something good with their partner, but they are also struggling to find room to breathe and be themselves.


The chorus of the song includes the lines "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." The singer seems to be questioning whether their partner is being honest with them, or whether they are just going through the motions of a relationship without any real connection. They feel confused and uncertain, but they are also trying to stay strong and keep their head held high.


The second verse of the song includes a few more abstract lyrics, such as "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." These lines are harder to decipher, but they seem to suggest that the singer is trying to find some kind of protection or security in their relationship, and that they are aware of the distractions and temptations around them that could potentially pull them away from their partner.


Overall, "Valentine" is a complex and introspective song that explores the highs and lows of a relationship. The lyrics are open to interpretation and can be read in different ways, depending on the listener's own experiences and perspectives.


Line by Line Meaning

I am begging
I am asking desperately for something


You got a hold on me
You have a strong grip on me, controlling my thoughts and emotions


I built a lot of good something
I created many good things for myself


With no air to breathe
But now, I feel suffocated and trapped


Listen honey valentine do you
Listen, my dear Valentine, do you


Fill my head with a tainted view
Fill my mind with a distorted perspective


Is it box-ticking confusion
Is it a meaningless check-the-box exercise?


Feel faint but I wear my head high
I feel weak, but I still hold my head up high and try to remain confident


Do it double time
Do it twice as fast


Walk out of line
Step outside of the norm


The neighbors thinking what they do
The neighbors are thinking whatever they want to


Steer or collide
Choose to take control of the situation or let it crash into you


Oh what a ride
What a wild and tumultuous experience this is


It's always been just me and you
It has always just been the two of us


Gotta get with the bulletproof
You need to become more resilient and tough


Why stick with another
Why stay with someone else when you can be with me?


Black cat walking through the city
A metaphor for someone with a mysterious and independent nature


While the clock's noise makes a heart commotion
The ticking of the clock creates an unsettling feeling in my heart


Cut down on the sugar pretty
Reduce the sweet, delusional thoughts


I say
I declare, I assert


Listen honey valentine do you
Listen, my dear Valentine, do you


Fill my head with a tainted view
Fill my mind with a distorted perspective


Is it box-ticking confusion
Is it a meaningless check-the-box exercise?


Feel faint but I wear my head high
I feel weak, but I still hold my head up high and try to remain confident
