Venus In Furs
v.u Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm a slave to your love religion...
I believe in obsession, baby
You're driving me insane
I'm addicted to your sweet lovin'
A Venus in chains

If I resign to this big temptation
You're the one to blame

Made me an addict of passion
Like a Venus in chains

Here's Venus in the chains of love
Feels so good, can't get enough
Chained up to her destiny
All you need is fantasy

Step inside this vacant dream
Let me show you what it means
I'll convince you - here's your fate
Step right in and celebrate

I believe in obsession, baby
You're driving me insane
I'm addicted to your sweet lovin'
A Venus in chains

If I resign to this big temptation
You're the one to blame
Made me an addict of passion
Like a Venus in chains

If I resign to this big temptation
You're the one to blame
Made me an addict of passion
Like a Venus in chains

I will surrender to love's seduction
Take venture as a game
'Cause I'm a slave to the love religion
A Venus in chains

I'm a slave to your love religion...

I believe in obsession, baby
You're driving me insane
I'm addicted to your sweet lovin'
A Venus in chains

If I resign to this big temptation
You're the one to blame
Made me an addict of passion
Like a Venus in chains

You came, you saw and you conquered, baby
You took away the pain

Now I'm a slave to your love religion
A Venus in chains.

Overall Meaning

The song "Venus in Furs" by V.U. is a passionate exploration of the theme of obsession and addiction in a romantic relationship. The main character is deeply enslaved by his lover, who represents the goddess Venus, the epitome of beauty and seduction. The lyrics describe his willingness to become her slave, to be chained by her beauty and her love religion. He is driven insane by his desire for her, addicted to her sweet loving, and can't resist her temptation. He is convinced that his fate is to remain chained to her, forever a Venus in chains. The song is both sensual and dark, painting a picture of a person who has given up all control of his life, submitting to his lover's will.

The song's use of the imagery of Venus in chains is a reference to the Greek myth of Venus and Adonis. In the myth, Venus was deeply in love with Adonis and would do anything to keep him under her spell. The song implies that the main character is willing to sacrifice his freedom and his sanity for the sake of his obsession with his lover. The lyrics are also a commentary on the nature of addiction, and how easy it is to become a slave to our desires.

One of the interesting facts about the song is that it was inspired by the novel of the same name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch. The book is famous for introducing the concept of masochism and for being the origin of the term "masochism." The author's name also became the basis for the word "masochist." The song has become an anthem for the BDSM culture and has been covered by various musicians over the years.

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
… Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there
… I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
… Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
… Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now bleed for me
… I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
… Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Fuck, man… NOBODY was writing lyrics like this or composing SOUND like that on this level back then for the kind of audience they were making it for.

I mean Lou Reed. Throughout his career his lyrics were pretty spectacular. But yeah there was something kind of magical about them. Had it been off in any direction, it might not have worked. Had they been these really accomplished and experienced musicians it might not have had that magic. But had they been a little more amateurish, they might not have been able to bring it all together. It was this wonderful blend of raw creativity and absolute fearlessness that happened in the right place and at the right time. Like a rare planetary conjunction all the elements just happened to come together. A gift of fate.

So many people and the media make the 1960's out to be some beautiful lovey fairy tale. To me the 60s was a dark time in many ways, especially spiritually. There was a lot of vulnerability under that vale of innocence, a lot of sheep finding themselves in the company of all the wrong shepherds. All those drugs and the internal raging of so many youngsters searching for truth in the darker shadows that Morrison delved into lead to the Manson's and people like the zodiac. There were serious negative waves back then, not that there wasn't always and still to this day, but they tend to be overlooked, or separated from the whole when looking back to this time. To me this song is the perfect embodiment of the "lost ones" of that time, and indeed all times. People who played with the fire and got burned, lost their minds, curiosity killed the cat type deal. It's a spooky song shrouded is mysticism, that's why it's great, and so alluring. The pied piper sits in envy of this tune.

In the Todd Haynes documentary Maureen Tucker and John Cale and Mary Woronov underline how much that Warhol Factory set hated the hippies and saw themselves as opposed to the "peace and love" vibe of the west coast. VU were as much 60s as the hippies but tapped into that downbeat side of the time.

First time I listen to this song and damn it is heavy.
I have seen comments saying it is inspired from a book.

Without any ref, I thought it was just a married guy going to do some BDSM (his love) with a mistress because his wife could not provide this kind of feeling.

I was picturing a guy going down a brothel looking for his favorite mistress.
Half epic half shameful feeling but what a piece for the 60s wow

@@lashedbutnotleashed1984 The song is about the brutality of reality. Feel, but invest less in feeling and more in purpose. There must be something you love.
