Goldmine Valentine
The Bigger Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cold as the cock of a colt 45
She fled the scene, she she'd the sheets
And sold the movie rights
She swore before her chastity
With tongue and burning cheek
But fiction can be fun, fiction can be fun
Cause exes can't be oh's
Oh no no no no, you better watch your back
Goldmine valentine, my bankroll butterfly
She'll steal your heart and make you proud
Right before she sells you out
Goldmine valentine, makes out with open eyes
She'll steal to save her skin
And she steal your heart again
She's a front page fold out million dollar mouth
With a story rip to tell
But she hates to read, she moves much better
Up and down than side to side to side
She's famous for the fashion of
Her backseat bedroom action can be fun
Her backseat can be
Oh no no no no, you better watch your back
Cause exes can't be oh's
Oh no no no no, you better watch your back
Goldmine valentine, my bankroll butterfly
She'll steal your heart and make you proud
Right before she sells you out
Goldmine valentine, makes out with open eyes
She'll steal to save her skin
And she steal your heart again
The Bigger Lights’s song ‘Goldmine Valentine’ tells the story of a woman who is a master manipulator, controlling and using everyone around her for her own gain. The singer describes her as a ‘black widow best friend,’ comparing her to a venomous spider who lures her prey with her beauty and charm before devouring them. She is ‘cold as the cock of a colt 45’ and ‘moves much better up and down than side to side,’ implying that she is more interested in using her sexuality to get what she wants than in establishing real connections with people.
The woman in the song is also described as a storyteller, someone who spins tales to convince people of her innocence or to make herself seem more interesting than she really is. She ‘sold the movie rights’ to the story of her deceitful actions, implying that she is willing to exploit her own experiences for profit. Despite all of this, the singer admits that there is something alluring about her, a ‘goldmine valentine’ who can ‘make you proud’ before ultimately betraying you.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a woman who is dangerous and unpredictable, someone who can make people fall in love with her before ultimately destroying them. It also suggests that she is not unique in this behavior, as the singer warns the listener to ‘watch your back’ around their own exes as well.
