Oh
There goes my Valentine again
I'm soaked in red for what she said
And now she's gone
Oh my God have I done it again
There's a pulse that is deafening
I can't help what I hear in my head,
Its the switch that I flip (when you said)

Hand of blood
I don't want to feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood
I don't want to see, my life is burning

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing.

There's a stain on my hand and it's red
Oh my god am I losing it
I can't help what I've done or I've said
?It's a button I push? (when you say)

Hand of blood
I don't want to feel, my heart is breaking
Hand of blood
I don't want to see, my life is burning.

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing

I saw you look away
Is what you've seen too much to take
Or are you blind and seeing nothing
(I saw you run)
I saw you run away
Is what I've done too much to take
Or are you scared of being nothing

    My Opinion:THIS SONG ROCKS!!! i first heard it when i was playing my stepdad's video game called "need for speed most wanted". as for the meaning, i kinda think it's about a girl who dumps him, and he starts having illusions of her blood on his hands... i'm not sure but that's just what i think

    My Interpretation:well...
    'There goes my Valentine again, soaked in red for what she said, and now shes GONE'
    well, this part seems kinda obvious.... she said something that really pissed him the hell off, he beat the shit out of her, and she left right out the door....
    'oh my god have i dont it AGAIN -theres a pulse and its deafening- i cant help what i hear in my HEAD -its a switch that i flick when she says-'
    this part means hes beaten her multiple times, but this time his pulse is pounding in his head so hard he can hear it, and he has this nasty feeling in the back of his head, kinda like 'oh shit, did i go to far this time?' but hes also trying to explain himself to himself (switch that i flick etc)...
    'I dont wanna feel, my heart is breakin -hand of blood- i dont wanna see, my life is burning'
    this part is where he realizes that he beat her to death, and its breaking his heart, but he knows hes fucked up but good this time, and he can't stand to look at her corpse (hand of blood is just a reiteration at this point)...
    'I saw you look away, is what you've seen to much to take or are you blind and seeing nothing'
    this is him talking to himself in the mirror after the fact, and a part of him is trying to deny that this has happened, that she is dead, but the other part of himself is pretty much calling himself a pussy and to man up
    'I saw you run away, is what ive done to much to take, or are you scared of being nothing'
    again talking to himself in the mirror, hes asking himself if hes man enough to take the punishment thats inevitably going to come of this, or is he too scared of what that punishment might be....
    'Theres a stain on my hand and its red -oh my god and i losing it- i cant help what ive done or ive said -its the button i push-when it says'
    this part means hes being haunted by the killing, and hes wondering if hiding from it is making him lose his mind, and hes getting pissed and is saying 'ya know what, it happened, so BF-ucking-D'...
    (already explained the part through here)...
    so yeah, he beats his girlfriend, she dies, and he goes oh shit and runs for the hills, but it haunts him till he starts losing it, then he says ya know what, it happened, so i might as well own the fuck up to it'

    General Comment:First, this song is awesome!

    Well...I think the song means that this dude (I guess the singer), killed his valentine (his girlfriend) with a gun; and probably he had killed more than one person (Oh my God, have I done it again?)
    .

    Anyway, I think thge dude just feels guilty.

    General Comment:i see it as he wants her to realize the pain shes caused him or who ever it might be... and hes becoming more angry and worse and now wants to put it in her face

    General Comment:This song is one of their least best ones because the solo is poor and so is the riff its to simple. But the song is talking about his ex and he is pissed for her stabbing him in the back(cheating on him) I know this because i went to a concert with backstage passes and asked him and thats what he said lol. I also got to play his guitar HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

    General Comment:i think alot of ppl have it
    There goes my valentine again soaked in red over what she said and now shes gone--- He obviously killed her in cold blood or he shot her and is pretty much screaming at her why he did it. he just snapped. and the whole song seems to me that hes pretty much singing it to her corpseor her dying on why he did it. Theres a pulse and deafening is all he hears is his loud heartbeat pounding in his head.
    i saw you run away-- i think means she was trying to get away. i cant help what i've done or i've said-- i think means he cant help whats hes done or hes said to make her leave. while she was leaving (running away) he shot her. and i think 'it's the button i push' and 'its the switch taht i flip' means the trigger of the gun. and i saw you look away i think means she looked away when she said i love you too or something. Hand of Blood was their EP album and i'm pretty sure the song and the name bullet for my valentine were a story for the 2. this is the dopest song by bullet hands down. bullet4life!

    General Comment:I also think it's about self mutilation (Oh my God, have I done it again, I can't help what I've done to myself)

    General Comment:ok first of all, your all fairly retarded. b4mv is NOT like FROM AUTUMN TO ASHES. they are way better, i like from autumn to ashes but theyr not that great, they have shit guitar riffs and theyr drum beats are no where near as good as b4mvs. and the vocals are completely different, so nfgtitandave yuo are a complete moron. this song is about killing his gf. it may fit into the story of the poison (album)but i dont think it does because of where it is placed in the album. the song was put into the special edition of the album the poison which is basicly a big story about a guy who wants to dump his gf but cant coz he loves her then finds out she is cheating on him with his best friend and he ends up killing her and then taking his own life. and funeral for a rfiend is also welsh so fck u nfgtitandave coz funeral for a friend are awesome a rad band. if you call b4mv an emo band relating to genre you odviously dont know the definition of emo music
