Her
Venus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He's a child at heart
He's a dad at home
He's a man at work
But when he's alone

He'll paint his lips
A ruby red
And he'll stay out late
And be her instead

Her, her, her, her
Her, her, her, her

He always felt
He just blended in
In his suit and tie
But when she walks in

The room lights up
They want to kiss her hand
They'll treat her like
No other man

Her, her, her, her
Her, her, her, her

At dawn's first light
He will come back home
Crawling into bed
Hoping she won't know

The beauty of his
Second life
Is hidden from
His loving wife

Her, her, her, her
Her, her, her, her

Would they understand
Would they take her hand
And love her too
Could they let her in
Or would they just see him
And wish they never knew

He's a child at heart
He's a dad at home
He's a man at work
But when he's alone

He'll paint his lips
A ruby red
And he'll stay out late
And be her instead





Her, her, her, her
Her, her, her, her

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Venus's song "Her" tell the story of a person who lives a double life. In their everyday life, they are a responsible individual - a father at home and a hardworking man at work. However, when they are alone, they transform into another persona, a woman named "Her." They paint their lips red and venture out into the night, embracing their true self.


The song explores the complexities of identity and the desire to express oneself authentically. The singer feels like they blend in and don't stand out when living their everyday life in a suit and tie. However, when they become "Her," they radiate a different kind of energy. People are drawn to and enamored by her presence, as they treat her with respect and admiration, unlike anything the singer experiences in their ordinary life.


The lyrics touch on the internal conflict that the singer faces. They question whether others would understand, accept, and love "Her" if they were to reveal this side of themselves. The singer wonders if people would be willing to embrace both their ordinary self and their true self, or if they would only see the person they are used to and wish to remain ignorant of "Her."


Ultimately, "Her" represents the freedom and authenticity that the singer seeks, a contrast to the roles they are supposed to fulfill in their everyday life. It highlights the universal longing for acceptance and understanding, even in the face of societal norms and expectations.

Entering the bed in a vulnerable and quiet manner


Hoping she won't know
Desiring that his wife remains unaware


The beauty of his

Second life
Alternate existence as a woman


Is hidden from
Is kept a secret from


His loving wife
His spouse whom he deeply cares for


Would they understand
Will they be able to comprehend


Would they take her hand
Would they accept and embrace her


And love her too
And also have affection for her


Could they let her in
Would they allow her to be a part of their lives


Or would they just see him
Or would they only perceive him as he presents himself


And wish they never knew
And regret ever knowing about his secret identity
