Venus
Viridiana Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
inspirar?
Da onde vem o medo
das roupas tirar?
Pra onde foi teu nome
mandaram enterrar?
Que quando precisei
não soube quem chamar?
Lembro
do teu punho cerrado.
Os passos
na minha direção.
Venus
me leva do teu lado.
Teu pranto
não soará em vão.
The lyrics of Viridiana's song Venus tell the story of a person who is struggling to understand and deal with the absence of a loved one. The song speaks specifically to the power of human connection and the hurt that comes when that connection is disrupted. The opening lines ask how someone who doesn't breathe can inspire and where the fear comes from when taking off clothes. These lines may indicate that the person being referred to is gone or is no longer breathing. This sense of loss is further emphasized when the lyrics ask where the person's name went and why they couldn't be reached when they were needed.
The chorus brings in another element, invoking the goddess Venus. The singer notes that they remember the person's fist being clenched and their steps coming closer. Venus is invoked to take the singer away from this person's side, perhaps to a place where the hurt is less intense. The final line of the chorus is a plea that the tears the person has shed won't be in vain. The song shows that the pain of losing someone is not easily forgotten and can be difficult to deal with.
