Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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.
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.
