Here & Now
Venus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ain′t got no aim
Ain't got no need
Ain′t got no shame
To be hard to please
Ain't got no brain
It's like I feel free
Ain′t got no mother
Ain′t got no child
Ain't got no lover
Staying by my side
Here and now
Here and now
I got my arms
I got my hands
I got my feet
And still my two legs
I got my heart
I got my soul
I got my life
It still hasn′t gone
I got my blood
And this is all I got
Here and now




Here and now
Here and now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Venus's song Here & Now speak of a sense of freedom and detachment from societal norms and expectations. The singer expresses that she does not have a specific purpose or desire in life, nor does she feel the need to conform or seek approval from others. She states that she feels free, without the burden of a conscience or a sense of duty to others. The singer mentions that she does not have a mother, a child or a lover to tie her down or keep her company, but instead finds comfort in her own self and in the present moment.


The chorus of the song, with its repetitive phrase "Here and now", emphasizes the theme of living in the moment, in the present, without worrying too much about the past or the future. The singer lists the things she has, such as her body parts, her heart, soul, and life. This can be interpreted as a gratitude for the simple things in life and the appreciation of one's own existence. The song could be seen as a celebration of individualism, self-reliance, and the beauty of the present moment.
