Valentine's Day is the ninth on Linkin Park's album Minutes to Midnight. It is one of the softest songs on the album, featuring Chester Bennington singing softly. The song is about losing a lover on Valentine's Day. There are rumors that this is about his father dying on Valentine's Day, but they aren't true, because his father is still alive.
Valentine's Day was a song that heavily remained the same throughout the entire process of making the album, making it one of the first songs to be finished for the album.
Lyrics[]
My insides all turn to ash
So slow
And blew away as I collapsed
So cold
A black wind took them away
From sight
Another darkness over day
That night
And the clouds above move closer
Looking so dissatisfied
But the heartless wind kept blowing, blowing
I used to be my own protection
But not now
Because 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
So now you're gone
And I was wrong
I never knew what it was like
To be alone...
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
Because my mind has lost direction
Somehow
I used to be my own protection
But not now
Because my mind has lost direction
Somehow
