Blue Valentine
Blue Valentine's Turbulent Love: A Melancholic Journey
Lyrics
Pack your bags up babe
Packing belongings for a journey to the future.
We're headed to the future
Continuation of the journey metaphor, embracing what lies ahead.
You, my blue valentine
Addressing a loved one as a "blue valentine," a symbol of deep connection.
Keep your eyes closed it suits ya
Suggesting intimacy by asking the loved one to keep their eyes closed.
Serenaded the fall
Recalling moments of serenading during autumn, a metaphor for a past romance.
Crescent moon contusion
Describing a symbolic mark on the moon, possibly representing emotional scars.
Harvest all of my youth
Harvesting youth metaphorically, acknowledging the passage of time.
Used up all my illusion
Acknowledging the exhaustion of illusions, facing reality.
First you say you want me
Repetition of a narrative expressing the emotional impact of a relationship.
Don't act like you forgot me
-Act like I ain't nothing
-Best believe, gotta give em, gotta tell em something
-Burning up my body
-Could it be you?
-First you say you want me
-Don't act like you forgot me
-Tell me I ain't nothing
-Best believe, gotta give em, gotta tell em something
-Burning up my body
-Could it be you?
-From the cigarettes you stubbed out...
Referencing discarded cigarettes, possibly implying the end of something.
I love it, I love it
Continuation of the emotional narrative, exploring the aftermath of a relationship.
I love when you knock me down
-Cut me loose to these streets
-I'll carve your name through this town
-I love it, I love it
-I love when you knock me down
-Bring it back to me, back to me babe
-Bring it back to me back to me
-Ghosting through these days
-Coast to coast reunion
-Why does it always end up with no
-Parting communion?
-First you said you want me
-Don't act like you forgot me
-Act like I ain't nothing
-Best believe, gotta give em, gotta tell em something
-Burning up my body
-Could it be you?
-First you say you want me
-Don't act like you forgot me
-Tell me I ain't nothing
-Best believe, gotta give em, gotta tell em something
-Burning up my body
-Could it be you?
-From the cigarettes you stubbed out...
-I love it, I love it
Repetition of the emotional experience and a plea to bring back what was lost.
I love when you knock me down
-Cut me loose to these streets
-I'll carve your name through this town
-I love it, I love it
-I love when you knock me down
-Bring it back to me, back to me babe
-Bring it back to me back to me
-Oh oh oh oh oh
-Oh oh oh oh oh
-Be my blue valentine
-Be my blue valentine
-Hey, eh, eh, eh
-I love it, I love it
-I love when you knock me down
-Cut me loose to these streets

-Bring it back to me, back to me babe
-Bring it back to me back to me
-Oh oh oh oh oh
Repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the desire for the loved one to be a "blue valentine."
Oh oh oh oh oh
