Venom
Savant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's nothing conscious about what
We're doing here
There's nothing beautiful about it
Drugs can make the sad become fun
Drugs can make the dark go bright
Drugs can make you feel the sun
Even though it's been gone all night
I know just how it feels
(I know just how it feels)
You know that it's not real
(You know that it's not real)
I know just how it feels
(I know just how it feels)

You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then I'll be red
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind

You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then we're in bed
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind

When the mind awakens from comatose
Destiny is overtaken by choice
I know drugs can make you feel alright
Drugs can make you feel the cost
Drugs can make you fit for a fight
But it can't bring back the one you lost

I know just how it feels
(I know just how it feels)
You know that it's not real
(You know that it's not real)
I know just how it feels
(I know just how it feels)

You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then I'll be red
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind

You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then we're in bed
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind

Escaping the past is what we want
Getting together is all we need
We can't wake up but we're living the dream

You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then I'll be red
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind

You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then we're in bed
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind
You make the venom rush to my head
It's just one blush and then we're in bed
You make the venom rush to my mind
It's just one crush and then I'll be blind

You make the venom rush to my head
(head, head)

Escaping the past is all we want
Getting together is all we need




We can't wake up but we're living the dream

Overall Meaning

In Savant's song "Venom," the lyrics explore the theme of using drugs as an escape from reality. The first verse emphasizes that there is nothing conscious or beautiful about the actions being taken. It suggests that drugs can provide temporary relief from sadness and darkness, allowing one to feel happiness and light even when it is absent. However, the chorus reveals the downside of relying on drugs. It acknowledges the temporary euphoria they bring, but also highlights the negative consequences. The "venom" referred to in the lyrics symbolizes both the rush and the potential harm caused by drug use. It leads to a temporary state of bliss, represented by the blush and being in bed, but ultimately results in blindness, indicating the distorted perception of reality.


The second verse delves deeper into the consequences of drug use. It suggests that drugs can temporarily awaken the mind from a state of stagnation but cannot change one's destiny. It acknowledges that drugs can make one feel powerful and ready for a fight, but they cannot bring back someone who has been lost. This reflects the destructive nature of drug addiction, offering a temporary escape but ultimately leading to further loss and pain. The final lines of the song suggest that escapism and the pursuit of a dream are desired, but the inability to fully wake up from the drug-induced state prevents true fulfillment.
