Valley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Face the facts, it's do or die, I'll be back so don't you cry
Soldier
I'm gonna ride this train, no time to change
I made a vow to keep you safe, I'll take that promise to the grave
Soldier
Hey, hey, hey, I'll be coming home to you
You're like red, white, blue, I'd do it all for you
I'd fight a war and win it, you make me bulletproof
I'll be your soldier
Dark days ahead, skies tainted red
All the time I'm counting down until the wind comes back around
Soldier
Words keep me strong, protect me from the storm
When I'm down I'll pray for grace, 'til the day I see your face
Soldier
Hey, hey, hey, I'll be coming home to you
You're the burning fire that my heart is beating to
You're like red, white, blue, I'd do it all for you
I'd fight a war and win it, you make me bulletproof
I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
Hey, hey, hey, I'll be coming home to you
You're the burning fire that my heart is beating to
You're like red, white, blue, I'd do it all for you
I'd fight a war and win it, you make me bulletproof
Hey, hey, hey, I'm coming home to you
You're the burning fire that my heart is beating to
You're like red, white, blue, I'd do it all for you
I'd fight a war and win it, you make me bulletproof
I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
I'll be your soldier
I'd fight a war and win it, you make me bulletproof
I'll be your soldier
I'll be coming home for you
Yeah, I'm coming home for you
I'll be your soldier
The song is a tribute to someone who has left their loved one behind to go fight in a war. The opening lines, "Love, it's time to leave, I'm gone, no in-between. Face the facts, it's do or die, I'll be back so don't you cry. Soldier," suggest a sense of duty and sacrifice. The singer is telling their partner that they have to go and fight without any ambiguity, and that they will be back soon. The line "I made a vow to keep you safe, I'll take that promise to the grave" shows that the singer is aware of the risks and is determined to keep their promise. The chorus of the song, "Hey, hey, hey, I'll be coming home to you. You're the burning fire that my heart is beating to. You're like red, white, blue, I'd do it all for you. I'd fight a war and win it, you make me bulletproof. I'll be your soldier," emphasizes the importance of the partner to the singer. The metaphor of the burning fire conveys an intense feeling of love and loyalty, and the reference to the colors of the American flag suggests the patriotic sentiments associated with war.
The second verse describes the hardship and danger of the mission. The line "Dark days ahead, skies tainted red" suggests the violence and suffering that the soldier is likely to encounter. The singer admits that they find strength in words, possibly from letters or messages from their loved one, as they say "Words keep me strong, protect me from the storm." The promise of seeing their partner's face again reinforces the attachment and motivation to persevere. The repetition of the chorus reinforces the message of devotion and commitment to the partner.

I got a sweater that I'm never putting on
So take it for the summer and wear it while you're gone
Oh, this time's for us, us, us
Yeah, this time's for us, us, us
I got a bracelet that's just never coming off
The only one that stayed is yours and that's more than enough
Oh, this time's for us, us, us
Yeah, this time's for us, us, us
When you're rolling down the river
Trying to look in your soul
I'm holding back the river when you're saying
You're go, go, going
Said you're go, go, going
'Cause all we need is time for this to breathe
You're my armour, I am your defeat
And honestly you're far from incomplete
'Cause I just need some closure
I will be your soldier
I just need a moment to get back down
And I don't need to hold you
Just to be your soldier
I just need a moment to get back down
I see colours, but they're only shades of blue
And on my way to ghost town under the moon
Oh, this is the last time now
This is the last time now
When you're rolling down the river
Trying to look in your soul
I'm holding back the river when you're saying
You're go, go, going
Said you're go, go, going
'Cause all we need is time for this to breathe
You're my armour, I am your defeat
And honestly you're far from incomplete
'Cause I just need some closure
I will be your soldier
I just need a moment to get back down
And I don't need to hold you
Just to be your soldier
I just need a moment to get back down
When we're driving and the headlights don't give enough to see
Just pull over for me darling, step out the car believe me
Tonight it's just the two of us, if you're wondering about me
Saying how you holding lately? Can we laugh about how we
Drank enough and said too much, pouring apologies in my cup
And always changing minds
Still I find it kind of funny, I will always laugh at you
And always find me crawling back to you
'Cause I just need some closure
I will be your soldier
I just need a moment to get back down
And I don't need to hold you
Just to be your soldier
I just need a moment to get back down
( Tis' a good song )
