Venus
Zuckerbaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was smelling the static
How typically dramatic
So much alike in every way
It was all terribly romantic
They came from opposite planets
Attracted like magnets
To collide is so exciting
Accidentally struck by lightening
How do you do
And you're turning blue
True blue if you knew
Where you were going to
Too overdue it's true
Over the edge
Swing on the moon
I'm addicted to a piece of you
What's your sign
Yeah Venus was a friend of mine
Tongue tied to a mood ring
The sweetest sensation
Forget about the fasion
Never felt so dead in candy apple red
Be alive without the passion
How do you do
And you're turning blue
True blue if you knew
Where you were going to
Too overdue it's true
Over the edge
Swing on the moon
I'm addicted to a piece of you
What's your sign
Yeah Venus was a friend of mine
The opening line of Zuckerbaby's "Venus" sets the scene with "She was kissing the concrete, He was smelling the static". From this, it appears that the two protagonists in the song are in different worlds, emotionally and physically. The song is about two people who are drawn to each other even though they come from different planets. It invokes the idea that opposites attract and that sometimes, the passion and excitement of two people from different worlds coming together can be hard to ignore. The line "so much alike in every way" suggests that the two have a lot in common despite their differences. The line "accidentally struck by lightning" hints at the instantaneous and powerful chemistry they feel.
As the song progresses, the chorus provides insight into the intensity of the connection between the two characters. The chorus presents a series of questions and statements that suggest a desire to be closer to the other person, and a willingness to take risks. "How do you do, and you're turning blue" could represent being short of breath, almost fainting from the excitement of seeing the other person. "Over the edge, swing on the moon" suggests an electric kind of feeling that lifts them off their feet and makes them feel weightless. "I'm addicted to a piece of you" expresses an insatiable desire for more of the other person.
Overall, Zuckerbaby's "Venus" presents a compelling story of two star-crossed lovers who come from opposite worlds. It shows the intensity of desire and the risk of heartbreak when two people are drawn together despite their different backgrounds.
