Venus Hum released their self titled debut through Mono-Fi Music on April 24th of 2001.
Their first Major Label full-length album, Big Beautiful Sky, was released April 1st, 2003 through MCA. That same year, Venus Hum toured with and opened for Blue Man Group; Annette sang vocals on "I Feel Love".
In 2004 Venus Hum released their Songs for Superheros EP, a collaboration with television producer J J Abrahms. However, Annette had developed immensely painful vocal nodes and had to see a speech pathologist to relearn her singing ability.
2006 saw the release of The Colors in the Wheel which features an edgier sound from their previous work.

Do You Want to Fight Me?
Venus Hum Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your one good leg?
And do you think you can beat me?
Why don't you wait until you get out of bed?
Well you're throwing frantic punches at the rate of snow
If you'd break in half then you could let it go
You're eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
So you want to fight me
With your one good eye?
And do you think you can beat me?
Hm, well come on, come on
Well you're holding back the candy like a one year old
If you'd break in half then you could let it go
You're eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
You're a bit combustible, don't break
Something wicked this way comes
Is it God's or is it yours?
It's a bit uncomfortable
Oh, don't kill the messenger
Well you're throwing frantic punches at the rate of snow
If you'd break in half then you could let it go
You're eighty pounds of wreckage in a mason jar
You're a bit combustible
Don't break my heart
So you wanna fight me?
Well, you said you want to fight me?
Come on, come on
The lyrics to Venus Hum's song "Do You Want to Fight Me?" are cryptic and may not be easily interpreted from first reading. However, upon closer examination, the song seems to be addressing an individual who is physically impaired in some way, perhaps due to age or illness, who is attempting to challenge the singer to a fight. The lyrics describe this person's frailty and inability to cause any real harm, and the singer seems to be both amused and somewhat sympathetic towards them, hoping that they do not get hurt in the process. The lines "Something wicked this way comes, Is it God's or is it yours?" suggest that there may be deeper issues at play, perhaps related to mortality or one's sense of purpose in life.
The song seems to be exploring themes of vulnerability and strength, as well as the way in which our bodies can betray us as we age. The playful tone of the lyrics adds a layer of irony to the situation, as the singer is clearly not taking the challenger seriously, yet there is still a sense of compassion there. The repetition of the line "You're a bit combustible, don't break" emphasizes the fragility of the situation and the importance of being gentle with ourselves and others.
