Song Meaning
The focus of this song is on a girl the narrator has grown to like. Her situation is stressful, judging by the lines "no one ever gives you a break" and "now your heart is gonna break." This could reference her family situation, or a past lover that wronged her. The narrator even feels some grief on her behalf, maybe because he doesn't know what he can do for her ("Now I'm singin' 'bout the alphabet / As the tears are putting out my cigarette.") He ultimately wants to make her feel better and spend time with her.
Lyrics
Gonna build it up just to burn it down
You're a princess I'm a fucking clown
Stop the presses cause I'm killing time
Won't you be my bloody valentine?
You're just a fucking kid
And no one ever gives you a break
You wanna se�orita
And now your heart is gonna break
You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces
Stab my heart like a stick in the mud
Cut my chest just to see the blood
Now I'm singing out the alphabet
As the tears are putting out my cigarette
We'll hit the cemetery
So we can see the holiday lights
Waking up the dead
And everything will be alright
You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces
Alright
Stuck in the middle of Heaven and Hell
Alright
Trying to find my better angels
Stab my heart like a stick in the mud
Cut my chest just to see the blood
Stop the presses cause I'm killing time
Won't you be my bloody valentine?
You're just a fucking kid
And no one ever gives you a break
You wanna se�orita
And now your heart is gonna break
You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces
You're a princess I'm a fucking clown
Stop the presses cause I'm killing time
Won't you be my bloody valentine?
You're just a fucking kid
And no one ever gives you a break
You wanna se�orita
And now your heart is gonna break
You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces
Stab my heart like a stick in the mud
Cut my chest just to see the blood
Now I'm singing out the alphabet
As the tears are putting out my cigarette
We'll hit the cemetery
So we can see the holiday lights
Waking up the dead
And everything will be alright
You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces
Alright
Stuck in the middle of Heaven and Hell
Alright
Trying to find my better angels
Stab my heart like a stick in the mud
Cut my chest just to see the blood
Stop the presses cause I'm killing time
Won't you be my bloody valentine?
You're just a fucking kid
And no one ever gives you a break
You wanna se�orita
And now your heart is gonna break
You're angel blue
With teenage traces
Angel blue
With pretty faces
