Marina - Venus Fly Trap
[Intro]
Whatever you give life, you will get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
[Verse 1]
I never quite fit in to that Hollywood thing (Ah)
I didn't play that game for the money or the fame (Ooh)
[Pre-Chorus]
I did it my way, baby
Nothing in this world could change me
[Chorus]
Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see
You're in a losing battle, babe
You'll never stop me being me
I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfucking crazy
Nothing in this world could change me
[Verse 2]
I sacrificed it all for a life to call mine
All the love and security to be myself, oh, I
I know that money ain't important (Ah)
And it don't mean you're the best (Ooh)
But I earned it all myself
And I'm a millionairess
[Pre-Chorus]
I did it my way, baby
Nothing in this world could change me
[Chorus]
Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see
You're in a losing battle, babe
You'll never stop me being me
I got the beauty, got the brains
Got the power, hold the reins
I should be motherfucking crazy
Nothing in this world could change me
[Bridge]
They'll shame you, blame you, pretend to even hate you
Take away your rights, pacify you with their lies
Whatever you give life, you are gonna get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
[Chorus]
Don't underestimate me 'cause one day, you're gonna see
You're in a losing battle, babe
You'll never stop me being me
'Cause whatever you give life, you're gonna get back
Why be a wallflower when you can be a Venus fly trap?
[Outro]
Nothing in this world, ooh
Nothing in this world could change me
Me
"Venus Fly Trap" is a song about being yourself and not letting others bring you down. The lyrics suggest that Marina has always had a hard time fitting in with mainstream culture, but has found success and happiness by being true to herself. The imagery of a Venus fly trap in the opening line of the song serves as a metaphor for the narrator's approach to life - they won't sit back and let others dictate their fate, but instead will be a force to be reckoned with and take control of their own destiny. The chorus reinforces this idea by warning others not to underestimate the narrator, who has confidence in their own abilities and refuses to conform to societal expectations. The second verse references the sacrifices the narrator has made along the way, but emphasizes that their success is self-made and not reliant on anyone else. This reinforces the idea that being true to oneself is the key to success and that one can find fulfillment in life without being part of the mainstream. The bridge highlights the challenges that the narrator has likely faced in being true to themselves because of the judgment from others, but suggests that staying true to oneself is still a worthwhile pursuit. The final chorus again encourages the listener to be true to themselves and not to let others bring them down. Overall, "Venus Fly Trap" is a song that celebrates individuality and encourages self-confidence, making it a powerful anthem for anyone who is struggling to find their place in the world.
