Cover art for The Ghost of St. Valentine lyrics by Bayside

I feel he is singing from the perspective of St. Valentine from where we get Valentine's Day from. St. Valentine has given up on love and no longer want to be associated with love. He rather face the gallows which is where you get hanged to death. St valentine was a mytar after all and hes rather be hung. he also wants to change his name so he is no longer associated with love....thats my though.. .What do you tihnk?
