Zero
Venus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I fell down, tried to keep hands numb,
Languished on the lizard skin divan,
Stared into the sun.
That man is one, is
'Clipsin' out to see the fun through.
He said, Comin' from me to you...

Chorus:
Though the farm is bet,
I still don't have no opinion yet.

Better to recede me,
She commands a greater beating to her chest.
The slow fix, the snow sticks on the ground.
Lazy train from central
To the lizards then
She sends them all to bed.
Her body said,
Let the furues blow until they're through.
She'll be there when the crow comes to.
Drinkin' whiskey from a tombstone flask,
Coming back through the weeds and the trash.
Double wide inside and blue,
Eclipsing it to get to you at last.





Repeat chorus.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Venus's song "ZERO" describe a scene of the singer feeling defeated and numb, lying on a lizard skin divan and staring into the sun. They mention another person who is "clipsin' out to see the fun through" and who says "Comin' from me to you." The chorus expresses a lack of opinion despite the singer feeling defeated.


The second verse describes a woman who commands a powerful presence and who sends lizards and lazy trains to bed. She is waiting for the singer until the crow comes, drinking whiskey from a tombstone flask and coming back through the weeds and trash. The verse ends with the singer arriving at a double wide house, eclipsing it to get to the woman at last.


The symbolic and abstract nature of the lyrics makes it difficult to pin down a specific meaning to the song. It can be interpreted as a commentary on the struggle to find one's place in the world or the search for meaning in a chaotic and confusing existence. The repetition of the chorus and the lack of resolution suggest a sense of uncertainty and lack of closure.
