Valens Lyrics

I took what I wanted, but I can't have what I want
Balled up or sprawled out, flame on the seat of the couch
Seemingly intangible, I cup it, rekindle it, and ward the wind
We clicked and I clicked
I pointed,squinted, and pulled
And I can never take it back
I live in this heat, I freeze in its wrath
I can't win

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Cover art for Valens lyrics by Movielife, The

This song has crazy lyrics no doubt. It's got to be highly metaphorical, and I can't quite figure out what it means. The "flame" on the couch represents something, maybe a passion that he brings back to life (rekindles) and protects (wards the wind). But then the last part sounds like he murders someone he likes. First they "clicked" meaning they get along great? Then he "clicked" the trigger of the gun, "pointed, squinted, and pulled". Then he's forever punished for this action. That's just my interpretation, whatever it means, awesome song, Movielife rocks.

Also, I can't decipher the title or how it would relate to this song. I know that "valens" comes from the Latin word that means strength or power (where we get the word "valient" and others) and it was also the name of a Roman emperor. So basically means something about power?
