Discover the story of the song > Valentine, Texas – Mitski

The lyrics talk about a protagonist who is exploring the unknown and discovering herself in the process. She is with her partner and they are venturing into the darkness together. She wonders who she will become during their journey. They drive to a place where there are dust devils, which are created by dancing ghosts, and the clouds in the sky look like mountains. The protagonist hopes that by watching the mountains, she will feel a sense of release and freedom.
