βMy older cousin introduced me to LINKIN PARK; Hybrid Theory is one of my favourite albums ever. I went through the whole thing thinking, βCould I sample any of this?β and when I listened to βForgottenβ I just thought: βThis guitar in the back is amazing. I canβt believe no oneβs ever sampled it before!β I looped it, recorded to it, mixed it, put it out. This was my first track where it took a darker turn, sonically. It really is emo through and through, from the sample to the lyrics.β - via Apple Music
βI have never crashed my car for anyone dont worry!

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'd risk my life for a chance you'd come back to me (yeah)
You called 999 then left me to bleed
I know you'd never cause an accident for me
I'll count the stars tonight
So last Valentine's, you spent it away
It hurts now to smile, it hurts more to breathe
It makes me so angry all I do is grit my teeth
I still let this man take over me
But I know that I'm not the one it should be
I should really take some time instead
To figure why this plays out again and again
I'll count the stars tonight
Whoa, whoa, whoa (night)
The first verse of the song "Last Valentines" by pinkpantheress describes a car crash caused by the singer in an attempt to win back their lover. The line "I'd risk my life for a chance you'd come back to me" indicates the singer's deep feelings for the person they are singing to, and the desperation they feel to be with them again. The second line reveals that the lover called an ambulance and then left the singer to bleed, suggesting that the relationship has ended and the lover has moved on.
In the chorus, the singer expresses their loneliness by saying that they will count the stars tonight, implying that they will be alone and unable to sleep. The second verse reveals that the lover spent the last Valentine's Day with someone else, causing the singer pain and anger. Despite knowing that they are not the one the lover should be with, the singer is still under the lover's spell, unable to break away. The song ends with the same chorus as before, emphasizing the singer's isolation.
Overall, "Last Valentines" is a poignant and relatable song about unrequited love and heartbreak. The powerful imagery of the car crash and the repeated refrain of counting the stars help to paint a vivid picture of the singer's emotions.

On Valentine's Day, you chose to spend your time with someone else instead of me
To be with a girl you said you never saw that way

It hurts now to smile, it hurts more to breathe
The pain of heartbreak is so overwhelming that even simple actions like smiling and breathing become unbearable

The anger and frustration I feel towards the situation is so intense that I can only respond by grinding my teeth together
I still let this man take over me
I am still giving in to my feelings for this man, despite the pain and suffering he has caused me

I'll count the stars tonight
Once again, I will seek comfort in the stars as I try to make sense of my emotions
Whoa, whoa, whoa (night)
This final vocalization represents the continuation of my journey, even as the night (and my heartbreak) wears on

[Verse 1]
I crashed my car, right into a tree
I'd risk my life for a chance you'd come back to me (Yah)
You called 999, then left me to bleed (Left me to bleed)
I know you'd never cause an accident for me (Me, me, me, me, me)
[Chorus]
I'll count the stars tonight ('Night, 'night, 'night, 'night, 'night)
[Verse 2]
So last Valentines (Last Valentines), you spent it away (Spent it away)
To be with a girl you said you never saw that way
It hurts now to smile, it hurts more to breathe
It makes me so angry all I do is grit my teeth
I still let this man take over me
But I know that I'm not one it should bΠ΅
I should really take some timΠ΅ instead
To figure why this plays out again and again

@thebootlegboy
these songs always make me feel nostalgic as if i've heard them years ago
@tanayyy2875
Yes because the guitar sample you are hearing in the background is sampled from 'Linkin Park - FORGOTTEN'. Made me feel same way too. Her producer is really genius the way they sample older songs!
@yeokonma
boy what the hell boy πΊ

Reminds me of sixth grade watching Michele Phan videos as I practiced my makeup. Listening to Imogen Heap and Late Night Alumni
@flaminhotcheet0s609

@gurocupcakes
no they don't LMAO she just samples old song beats and remix them into her song.
@ipromiseimclean
Who else noticed the Linkin Park sample?? Itβs from their song Forgotten. She used to play in a My Chemical Romance cover band as well. I love that some of her influences are post grunge - alternative. Keeping the genre alive for future generations!
@WastedYouth89r

@tinotcg5815
