Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Pulled Apart By Horses's song V.E.N.O.M. seem to be an aggressive call-out to someone who is not giving their all, urging them to step up and show courage. The repeated line "Slow your breathing, you haven't got balls!" suggests that whoever the singer is addressing is holding back, perhaps out of fear. The use of "balls" here is a common expression of bravery and risk-taking typically associated with masculinity. The repeated "V.E.N.O.M." chant seems to represent a kind of poisonous, dangerous force, perhaps suggesting that the person needs to tap into this energy in order to rise to the occasion or prove themselves.


The use of repetition in this song, both in the lyrics and the instrumentation, creates a tense and urgent atmosphere. The pounding drums and distorted guitars serve to amp up the aggressive mood, reinforcing the message of the lyrics. The song's energy builds throughout as the singer continues to demand more from the unnamed person they are addressing. Ultimately, this song comes across as a ferocious challenge to anyone who is holding back or not meeting expectations, a kind of musical call-to-arms for those who need to step up and be counted.
