Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
L'amour, la tour, on s'aimera pour toujours
Une chance, une danse, un rendez-vous en France
L'amour, la tour, on s'aimera pour toujours
I know me and you, hey mister, mister New York
You know I've no problem giving ya what you want, want
But what does it mean to you? Don't play me, no, n-no, no
Listen
Melodies, hypnotic and bad
Heighten my dress
The pleasures ahead
Distant embrace, he whispers plans
My heaven is hell
The angel to save
Stuck between heaven and hell
I am all yours, never alone
We belong to the end
Bar the others, the sign of it is
I am all yours, never alone
We belong to the end
Bar the others, the sign of it is
I can, hey let me give you my love
And if you like it, lay next to me in the mornin'
Noon and night, yeah, I'll lullaby ya
I wanna make you my man
Alright, yeah
I can, hey let me give you my love
And if you like it, lay next to me in the mornin'
Noon and night, yeah, I'll lullaby ya
I wanna make you my man
Alright, yeah
I know me and you, hey mister, mister New York
You know I've no problem giving ya what you want, want
But what does it mean to you? Don't play me, no, n-no, no
Don't you do me wrong, wrong, y'know I'll be long gone

The song "Venus" by Azealia Banks is a story of romantic passion and rhythmic melody. In the chorus, the singer describes a chance encounter with a lover in France, along with their plans for an enduring liaison marked by love and the landmarks of France. Banks' lyrics suggest a deep and meaningful connection between two individuals, wherein their love will last forever, and they will always belong to each other.
However, the verses contradict this romance by flashing brief images of the singer's personal torment. She is stuck between the two worlds of heaven and hell and finds solace in the arms of her lover. Her sharp and hypnotic singing style creates a sense of intense attraction and lust, conveying her desire to give her all to this man. The lyrics also unveil her insecurities and fear of being hurt, an indicator of her hesitation to dive headfirst into the relationship.
In the outro, Banks repeats the chorus where she expresses her desire to make her lover her man while also giving him her love at any time of the day. The song ends with the phrase, "Alright, yeah," a confident and determined statement that the singer has found what she is looking for in this man.

@jen_sen8508
Azealia probably forgot about this songs existance 😭😭
@nicelol5241
she’s too focused on fighting with others that she probably already forgot this song
@0000zz2
its in hypnotic house mix
@ethanob8803
The way she sang the french lyrics is everything
@il3077
Meh she sounded quite weird imo (French speaker)
@ethanob8803
ðældór L i’m also a french speaker and for an american it’s very complicated to sing, and we understand perfectly what’s she is saying
@MY-cv2xr
as someone that lives in france i have to say that her french is bad lmaoo but this song is a work of art, that french line is just so different and i love it.
@scorpiondeath-lock4238
Her accent is kind of off, but not bad for an American
@SkSk-gn1ut
It doesn't sound weird, it sounds really seductive and cute at the same time
