No
Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Standing with my back against a wall
Voices calling open up the door
Should i stay here with you to have and hold
Or take my chances out there on my own

I'm afraid to lose control
Have my life carved in stone
Wanna go with Alice
Down the rabbit hole

Oh no oh oh oh
You stepped over crossing the line
Oh no oh oh oh
Silly boy come on, read the signs
Oh no oh oh oh
You're too fast so please take it slow
Oh no oh oh oh

Chocolate covered roses smear my lips
I will not be blinded by a kiss
Not a damsel waiting in distress
A flower out there blowing in the wind

Such a long way to go
From the first breath hello
Gonna take my chances
Out there on my own

Oh no oh oh oh
You stepped over crossing the line
Oh no oh oh oh
Silly boy come on, read the signs
Oh no oh oh oh
You're too fast so please take it slow
Oh no oh oh oh

Oh oh no no

Oh oh no no
You stepped over crossing the line
Oh no oh oh oh
Silly boy come on, read the signs
Oh no oh oh oh
You're too fast so please take it slow
Oh no oh oh oh
You stepped over crossing the line
Oh no oh oh oh
Silly boy come on, read the signs
Oh no oh oh oh




You're too fast so please take it slow
Oh no oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The song "No" by Valentine is about a woman trying to decide whether to stay in a relationship or venture out on her own. She is feeling trapped and afraid to lose control of her life if she stays, but also unsure if she wants to take the chance on her own. The lyrics describe her willingness to explore new and exciting possibilities, despite the potential risks involved.


The first verse depicts the woman standing with her back against a wall, feeling pressured by outside voices to open up the door. She contemplates whether staying in the relationship will offer her the love and security she desires, or if she needs to take action and explore the unknown. The pre-chorus expresses her desire to venture down a new path, wondering if it's worth taking the chance on the unpredictable journey.


In the chorus, the woman expresses her feelings of frustration that her partner has stepped over a line and is moving too quickly in the relationship. She warns him to slow down and read the signs, as she values her independence and won't be easily swayed by outward displays of affection.


The second verse emphasizes the woman's identity as a strong, independent figure who won't conform to traditional gender roles or expectations. She declares that she is not a "damsel waiting in distress", but rather a free spirit who will follow her heart regardless of where it leads. The final chorus repeats the same themes of caution and independence, declaring that the woman is willing to take her chances and move forward on her own terms.


Overall, the song "No" encourages listeners to take a chance on themselves and to prioritize their own needs and desires over societal expectations or pressure from others.


Line by Line Meaning

Standing against a wall, feeling trapped and stuck
Voices urging me to make a choice and take action


Contemplating whether to stay in a comfortable but uncertain situation with you
Or venture out into the unknown and face the risks on my own


Feeling scared of losing myself and my identity
Not wanting my life to be predetermined and template-like


Wishing to explore and experience something new and exciting
Like Alice going down the rabbit hole


Realizing you've gone too far and crossed a boundary
Telling you to pay attention and be aware of the signals


You're moving too fast, please slow down
Feeling the sweetness of love and its allure, but refusing to be blinded by it


No damsel in distress, instead a free-spirited flower blowing with the wind
Acknowledging the long journey and evolution from our first meeting


Taking a chance and pursuing my own path, independent of anyone else
Repeating the warning that a line has been crossed, advising to read the signs, and asking to slow down

I’ve watch Steph drain that so many times I didn’t even realize how much of a bad shot it actually is 😂

Facts Lmaooo

@Trivedi_Tuesdays

That’s the melancholy of chef curry.

@KwizMatix

In a 4 point game with a full shot clock in the waning minutes you’ve DEFINITELY got to get a better shot than that. That was basically wasting your possession and giving the opposition the game.

@odonnellcaleb

@@KwizMatix Only two guys in the league are allowed to take that shot without being questioned. Denzel probably won't be seeing the court for a couple games after that one.
