ArtistLinkin Park
AlbumMinutes to Midnight
Release Date2007-05-11
DescriptionThe song is about separation from a loved one – and thus having to spend Valentine’s day in solitude.
Other themes of the song include burial and death, and therefore there is some ambiguity as to whether the person whose POV this song is from has been separated from their loved one, or whether their loved one has died.
Lyrics[Verse 1]
My insides all turned to ash, so slow
And blew away as I collapsed, so cold
A black wind took them away from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night

And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

[Verse 2]
I used to be my own protection, but not now
'Cause my path has lost direction, somehow
A black wind took you away from sight
And held the darkness over day, that night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
And the ground below grew colder
As they put you down inside
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing

[Pre-Chorus]
So now, you're gone and I was wrong
I never knew what it was like to be alone

[Chorus]
On a Valentine's day, on a Valentine's day
On a Valentine's day, on a Valentine's day
On a Valentine's day, on a Valentine's day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's day, on a Valentine's day
('Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)
On a Valentine's day, on a Valentine's day
(I used to be my own protection, but not now)
On a Valentine's day, on a Valentine's day
('Cause my mind has lost direction, somehow)You might also like
