Valley One
The K's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My dreams are sold
With head of silver and
A touch of gold
I felt the heat rising
Your eyeline {?}
So I tried to fight the shivers back
Up my spine
And now I′m tryna keep control
I'm wasting my time
You′ve already won
Well blame it on {?}
You'll always be fine, oh
My valley one
And I've been here for
Just a day, though
I don′t wanna live but
I can′t stay though
'Cos even Midas would find
A surprise in your eye
Devising a plan for me
When I hit the ground
And now I′m tryna keep control
I'm wasting my time
You′vе already won
Well blame it on {?}
You'll always bе fine, oh
My valley one
Well I say I′m fine
You say I'm bleeding out both sides
I say I love it
I'm just on a plane
Oh it shouldn′t be this painful
Should it?
I had to catch my flight out
To you and back to life
I′m above it
I sweared I'll be alright
I know I′m bleeding out both sides
But I love it
I'm tryna keep control
I′m wasting my time
You've already won
Well blame it on {?}
You′ll always be fine, oh
My valley one
{Outro}
And now that I'm back home
I'm seeing your shadow
From anyone
I′m wasting my time though
′Cos they're nothing like
Oh my valley one
The K's's song Valley One is a testament to the intensity and passionate connection between the singer and the object of their affection. The lyrics describe a space where dreams are sold, and the singer is struggling to keep control over their emotions while being in this particular environment. The head of silver and a touch of gold reference the object of the singer's affection, indicating that they possess both wisdom and beauty. The singer tries to resist the intensity of their feelings, but they are unable to do so. They feel shivers up their spine at the sight of their beloved.
The second verse describes the singer's internal conflict. They have been in this new space for only one day, but they are already contemplating a life there. The singer imagines that even Midas, the king with the golden touch in Greek mythology, would be surprised by the intensity they feel in their beloved's eyes. The singer feels like they are falling, but their beloved is devising a plan to catch them. Although the singer is conflicted, they recognize that their connection to their beloved is stronger than their doubts.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is trying to keep control, but they are wasting their time. Their beloved has already won, and it is impossible for the singer to resist their charm. The valley one refers to the singer's beloved, who is their everything. In the bridge, the singer switches perspectives and directly addresses their beloved. They claim to be fine, but their beloved knows that they are bleeding out on both sides. Despite this, the singer professes their love and willingness to endure any pain in the name of their connection.
