After the releas… Read Full Bio ↴Principe Valiente is a swedish post-punk/shoegaze band.
After the release of their debut album (2011) and the sophomore ”Choirs of Blessed Youth” (2014), Principe Valiente ventured deeper into the sonic landscapes of their minds. Drawing inspiration from ambient experimentalists like Cocteau Twins, 80’s sci-fi soundtracks as well as exuberant vocalists like Bowie and Kate Bush.
With their third album "Oceans" mixed by Jimmy Ottosson, the band has created another alluring world with human-all-too-human lyrics and phantasmal soundscapes. Cool and dreamy, yet impassioned and loaded with sweet anxiety. Partly recorded by producer Martin Ehrencrona (Les Big Byrd), and partly in various basements and art school lobbies around their hometown Stockholm, Sweden.
In My Arms
Principe Valiente Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The first time I saw your face
I never
thought that you
would be by my side
And the first time
I never realized
that you would be in my arms
Like a wild flower
in the trash dump
It wasn't hard to see
the beauty of your smile
But if the two of us never
become one
will this town be worth
living in...
come on.
come on.
I never
I never
I.
never...
Cause I never realized
I will found you
in this town
and now I hold you tight
in my arms, tonight.
Cause I never realized
that love could be
by my side
and now I hold you tight
in my arms
in my arms
in my arms
oh, in my arms.

The moment I laid eyes on you
From the very moment I saw you, everything changed for me.
I never
I didn't expect or anticipate
thought that you
that you would be the one for me
would be by my side
and here you are, always close to me
And the first time
And even at the outset
I looked into your eyes
when I gazed into your eyes for the first time
I never realized
I couldn't have imagined
that you would be in my arms
that you would eventually hold me in your embrace
Like a wild flower
You are unique and exceptional
in the trash dump
in this unremarkable place we call home
It wasn't hard to see
No one could ever deny
the beauty of your smile
how captivating and attractive your smile is
But if the two of us never
But in case you and I don't
become one
Find a way to, join and grow as one unit or family
will this town be worth
Would the town still be considered a place of value
living in...
If we can't be together here, what's the point of staying
come on.
Let's make this happen
come on.
We can do this
I never
It never dawned on me
I never
I couldn't visualize
I.
Being with you
never...
Wasn't in my realm of possibility
Cause I never realized
Because I didn't know
I will found you
That finding you was meant to be
in this town
Within the boundaries of this place
and now I hold you tight
And presently, I embrace you firmly
in my arms, tonight.
Here in my arms, today, this evening
Cause I never realized
Because I just didn't comprehend
that love could be
that love could manifest itself
by my side
in my life, next to me
and now I hold you tight
and today, I tightly embrace you
in my arms
Here in my arms
in my arms
In these arms of mine
oh, in my arms.
Ah, comforting in my embrace.
