Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man a man
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wa!
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
The lyrics to "Venus" by NO ANGELS celebrate the beauty and allure of the Roman goddess Venus, who represents love, beauty, and desire. The song begins by describing Venus as a "goddess on the mountain top" who is "burning like a silver flame." She is considered the epitome of beauty and love, her name alone carrying all the power and prestige of her divine status.
The lyrics go on to describe how Venus uses her crystal eyes as weapons that make every man fall under her spell, and how she possesses something singular and unique among all others. The chorus repeats the singer's devotion to Venus, stating that she's got what it takes to ignite their own passionate flames. In this way, the song paints Venus as an irresistible force of nature, both beautiful and powerful.
Throughout the song, the image of Venus is heavily romanticized and somewhat idealized, as she's portrayed as an otherworldly goddess who possesses a beauty that is beyond human. It’s almost as if no ordinary human could ever hope to capture the essence of Venus. Additionally, the lyrics make use of the recurring metaphor of fire throughout, associating Venus with a "silver flame" and describing the singer's desire as something that can be ignited and fueled by her presence.
