Venus
Becca Stevens feat. Laura Mvula Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hungry for my harmony
Lost, and bound in agony
Devouring dreams to feed her need
She waves a web of trickery
To feast upon my sanity
But cowers at the sight of love
Like venus rose from water
From water
She rose from water, from water
Ariadne's lost her way
In the maze she made to toy with me
Where she's still toiling after me
But the beast can't have what she can't reach
Venus rose from water, from water
She rose from water, from water
She's a fugitive
With a plot to steal the feeling out of everything
She can smell your weakness
If you fall, then she will feast like a
Black hole in a labyrinth
With nothing but time to find the negative in everything
If she pulls you in
Rise above
Venus rose from water, from water
She rose from water, from water
She rose from water
She rose from water
She rose, she rose, rose, rose
From water
Like venus she rose
Like venus she rose
The song "Venus" by Becca Stevens feat. Laura Mvula describes a woman named Ariadne who is chasing the singer, hungry for her harmony and devouring dreams to feed her need. However, the singer rises above Ariadne’s trickery and refuses to fall victim to her. The chorus compares the singer to Venus, who in mythology rose from the water, representing resurrection and rebirth.
The lyrics of the song portray the idea of someone who’s after you, trying to steal your feeling and devour your dreams. Ariadne represents the devil or negative forces from which we are trying to break free. The singer, however, knows that the only way to break free from this force is to rise above it. The chorus makes references to the mythological figure of Venus, who rises from the water, representing danger and a change in life’s direction. The main theme of the song is therefore about letting go of negativity and rising above it like Venus, who is symbolic of rebirth and resurrection.
In conclusion, the song "Venus" is about rising above negativity represented by Ariadne and living free. The songwriters used Venus as a symbol of rebirth, freedom, and resurrection.

Ariadne's after me
Ariadne is pursuing me
Hungry for my harmony
Wanting to destroy my peace of mind
Lost, and bound in agony
Confused and in pain
Devouring dreams to feed her need
Destroying dreams to fulfill her own desires
She waves a web of trickery
She uses cunning to lure me in
To feast upon my sanity
To destroy my mental well-being
But cowers at the sight of love
Is afraid of the power of love
So rise above
Stay strong in the face of adversity
Like venus rose from water
Like the goddess Venus emerged from the sea
Ariadne's lost her way
Ariadne is lost and confused
In the maze she made to toy with me
In the labyrinth she created to play with me
Where she's still toiling after me
Where she is still pursuing me without success
But the beast can't have what she can't reach
Ariadne cannot have what she cannot attain
She's a fugitive
She is on the run
With a plot to steal the feeling out of everything
Wanting to take away the joy from everything
She can smell your weakness
She can sense your vulnerability
If you fall, then she will feast like a
If you succumb, she will consume you
Black hole in a labyrinth
A deep and confusing trap of negativity
With nothing but time to find the negative in everything
Spending time searching for faults in everything
If she pulls you in
If she entices you
Rise above
Stay strong in the face of adversity
She rose from water
She emerged from the water
She rose, she rose, rose, rose
She continually rose higher
Like venus she rose
Like the goddess Venus, she emerged from the sea
