Valentine
The Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've never felt so tired can't hold my head up sometimes and i'm through with all of those lines that we've overexposed
So open up your eyes to this pointless night
You know it's just the same as all of those other times
But don't give up

The view from the day before is bringing tears to my eyes
As the habits roll on by out of our control
We'll say that's just life like we have before
But you know this is the best out of all of those times
They're almost up





This isn't the best time
This isn't the last time

Overall Meaning

In the song Valentine by The Sun, the lyrics depict a sense of exhaustion and hopelessness with the repetition of “I’ve never felt so tired” and being “through with all of those lines that we’ve overexposed”. The singer is pleading for someone to open their eyes to this “pointless night” and acknowledging that it feels like every night is the same, but not to give up hope. The second verse continues this theme, with the singer recalling the past and expressing that the “habits roll on by out of our control” and that they’ve said “that’s just life” before. However, the singer is also acknowledging that this is the best they’ve had out of all the past times. The final line, “This isn’t the best time, This isn’t the last time” seems to suggest that while the current moment may not be great, there will be more chances for change in the future.


The song Valentine could be interpreted to be about feeling trapped in a cyclical routine with no end in sight, and reaching out for someone else to acknowledge this feeling. The chorus seems to suggest that they are not alone and that others have also experienced these emotions. The line “But don’t give up” could be seen as a glimmer of hope that even though things may seem bleak now, they will get better.

You are aware that this situation is repetitive and familiar.


But don't give up
However, do not lose hope.

Yesterday's memories are making me emotional.


As the habits roll on by out of our control
Our routine actions continue uncontrollably.
