Cover art for Valium lyrics by Lisa Mitchell

i get the feeling this song is from the point of view of someone in a serious relationship who is terminally ill. it's got that typical sad music and Lisa compares her lover's heart to valium which could mean that his love is her comfort and painkiller. also one of the lines talks about "meeting the maker" meaning God, which is a reference to death.

Valium is not a painkiller.
