Valentine
X-Tremity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Makes me feel all alone
Ghosts of tangible mourn
People are all watching porn
No need to be asking for more
We'll bring everything to your door
Don't go outside you might die
Stay safe and maybe get high
High, high, high, high, high, high, high, high
Will you be my Valentine
Dum, da dum, ba da da de dum,
Dum, da dum, ba, da, da, da, da, da
Di da dum, da dum, ba da da de dum
Ba, da, de, da, dum
Da dum, dum, dum, dum
Will you be my Valentine, tine, tine, tine, tine
Stuck inside for Quarantine, tine, tine, tine, tine
I'll make you my Valentine, tine, tine, tine, tine
If we survive Quarantine, tine, tine
Is this world even real
I don't know if I can still feel
Filter my pretty face
My soul you'll soon erase
Alone and empty inside
A world on the brink of divide
Don't go outside you might die
Stay safe and maybe get high
High, high, high, high, high, high, high, high
High, high, high, high, high, high, high, high
Will you be my Valentine
Dum, da dum, ba da da de dum,
Dum, da dum, ba, da, da, da, da, da
Di da dum, da dum, ba, da, da, de dum
Ba, da, de, da dum
Da dum, dum, dum, dum
Will you be my Valentine, tine, tine, tine, tine
Stuck inside for Quarantine, tine, tine, tine, tine
I'll make you my Valentine, tine, tine, tine, tine
If we survive Quarantine, tine, tine
The lyrics to X-Tremity's song "Valentine" express feelings of isolation and detachment in a world consumed by technology and virtual experiences. The opening lines depict a sense of loneliness, with the mention of a hovering drone and the ghosts of tangible mourn. It suggests a disconnection from real human interactions, as people are engrossed in watching pornography instead. The lyrics then highlight a juxtaposition of conflicting emotions - the desire for more, the convenience of having everything delivered to your door, and the fear of going outside and potentially facing death. The suggestion to stay safe and maybe get high indicates a means of escaping reality and seeking comfort.
The chorus of the song revolves around the Valentine's theme but adds a twist with the line "Stuck inside for Quarantine." It reflects the current global situation and the longing for connection and companionship during times of isolation. The repetition of the word "tine" in a playful way adds a lighthearted element to the seriousness of the lyrics.
Further in the song, there is a questioning of the reality of the world and the artist's own ability to still feel. The mention of filtering one's pretty face alludes to the pressure of maintaining a certain image in the digital era, while the fear of having one's soul erased reflects a loss of identity and authenticity. The lyrics convey a sense of emptiness and highlight the division in the world, further emphasizing the need to stay safe and find solace in temporary escapes.
Overall, "Valentine" by X-Tremity explores themes of alienation, societal disconnection, the longing for companionship, and the struggle to find genuine connection in a technology-dominated world.
