Cover art for Valium lyrics by Lisa Mitchell

for some reason when i look up the lyrics to her songs, it ruins the songs... i absolutely wholeheartedly adore lisa, don't get me wrong, but seeing the posted lyrics wrecks the majesty...are these completely the correct lyrics? does the lyric booklet say so? i was lent this record to burn onto my ipod, so i can't know

please view this picture or any other image of valium: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Diazepam(Valium)_DOJ.jpg

the hearts in the center of the valium pills...i feel like that's not coincidental, don't you? i think lisa is trying to say she wants to create a drug, pill, or something (why she wants a scientist to help her) to preserve the feeling of love she feels for whomever she's singing about. she must take inspiration from the hearts (i know they're V's but let's be poetic) she finds in valium, to create her own pill with her and her lover's hearts inside them.

generally i said what everyone else has said just with a pretty picture involved.

i also agree it could be about the safety and protection of a relation- i never thought of that- in which she seeks his/her love like a painkiller. that would explain the waiting-- she's waiting and longing for that comfort...how many of you just die when you hear the, "I've been waiting"?

this song is so beautiful, and still that's such an understatement
