Black Valentine
Scott Thomas Band Lyrics

Black valentine
The singer is addressing a person or entity he calls 'Black Valentine'.

On city wine
The singer is under the influence of some kind of alcohol or drug.

Petrol mistress me
The singer is being controlled and consumed by something dangerous, like petrol.

Pitch just sticks to me
The artist is feeling trapped in a dark situation.

Like a melody
Despite the difficult situation he's in, the artist is experiencing a strange, inexplicable attraction towards it, similar to how someone would be drawn to a melody.

She rides inside of me
Whatever is controlling the singer feels like it's a part of him or her, almost like a passenger.

I wish I could let her die (ooh)
The singer recognizes that the situation is something dangerous and would be better off without it, but he feels trapped and unable to get out of it.

Won't you come inside Have a seat, have a cry with me (ooh)
The artist is asking someone to come be with him or her, likely because he or she feels alone and overwhelmed.

It's a stupid trick I got the worst of it
The situation the artist is in is something he or she regrets and feels taken advantage of or victimized by.

She shares my blood with everyone Pours a flower in the hour You dare to know the blood
The 'Black Valentine' person or entity is somehow connected to the artist's life, possibly through family or some other personal bond. The flower could symbolize something like a funeral or a wake, and the line seems to suggest that whoever is interacting with the artist is prying too closely into something deeply personal that they don't have a right to know.

She calls me limousine Cause she rides in me Whoever's driving, I guess I'll never know (ooh)
The 'Black Valentine' entity is somehow connected to the singer's self-concept or identity, maybe because it feels like it's controlling him or her. The 'limousine' part could infer that the entity is something that the singer is supposed to be in control of, but isn't. The second line suggests that the singer feels somehow powerless or unimportant to the entity. The last line reinforces the singer's lack of control over the situation.

And today I feel like getting high Maybe I should I put it off But for now, I haven't got a dime To even make that call Yeah, I guess I'm guessing getting used to being down
The artist is considering using drugs to escape or numb the situation he's in, but he's so broke that he can't even afford to buy them. The last line suggests that the artist is getting used to feeling powerless and overwhelmed by his situation.

Black Valentine On city wine Petrol mistress me Pitch just sticks to me Like a melody She rides inside of me I wish I could let her die (ooh) Won't you come inside Have a seat, have a cry with me (ooh) It's a stupid trick I got the worst of it (ooh) Won't you come inside Have a seat, have a cry with me (ooh) It's a stupid, stupid, stupid trick
The chorus repeats the themes of the song and reinforces the singer's feeling of being trapped in a dangerous or unfavorable situation.
