Venus Lyrics
The night sky once ruled my imagination.
Now I turn the dials with careful calculation.
After a while, I thought I’d never find you.
I convinced myself that I would never find you,
When suddenly I saw you.
At first I thought you were a constellation.
I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation:
You’re as beautiful as endless,
You’re the universe I’m helpless in.
An astronomer at my best
When I throw away the measurements.
Like a telescope,
I will pull you so close
'til no space lies in between.
And suddenly I see you.
Suddenly I see you.
I was a billion little pieces
'til you pulled me into focus.
Astronomy in reverse,
It was me who was discovered.
(I thought I’d never find you,
When suddenly I saw you.)
Like a telescope,
I will pull you so close,
'til no space lies in between.
Then suddenly I see you.
Now I turn the dials with careful calculation.
After a while, I thought I’d never find you.
I convinced myself that I would never find you,
When suddenly I saw you.
I made a map of your stars, then I had a revelation:
You’re as beautiful as endless,
You’re the universe I’m helpless in.
An astronomer at my best
When I throw away the measurements.
I will pull you so close
'til no space lies in between.
Suddenly I see you.
'til you pulled me into focus.
Astronomy in reverse,
It was me who was discovered.
When suddenly I saw you.)
I will pull you so close,
'til no space lies in between.

I think this song is an analogy between planet Venus, the Roman goddess and finding true love on Earth.
"Venus was the Roman goddess, whose functions encompassed love, beauty, desire, sex, fertility, prosperity and victory. (...) She embodied sex, love, beauty, enticement, seduction, and persuasive female charm among the community of immortal gods."
His Earthily object of love in this song (a real woman) encompasses all the qualities the Roman goddess possesses, and he, the "astronomer", is mesmerized when instead of finding the planet he was looking for in the sky, she is the one who finds him on Earth... ("astronomy in reverse, it was me who was discovered") finally finding love and feeling whole "I was a billion pieces til you pulled me into focus")
"And suddenly I see you. Suddenly I see you.
I was a billion little pieces 'til you pulled me into focus. Astronomy in reverse, It was me who was discovered.
(I thought I’d never find you, When suddenly I saw you.)
Like a telescope, I will pull you so close, 'til no space lies in between.
Then suddenly I see you."
