Am I the only person who thinks this is a love song? I've never really thought about the venus de milo reference but the way he describes shakey and his hands like gloves. He seems to be describing some incredible feeling and the fact that he says it's like a new drug means surely it isn't about drugs. What he's describing to me perfectly describes the feeling of first realising you love someone and how amazing it feels. Even if that's not what it means it will always mean that to me.
@SuperstarTradesman. I agree - of course Venus is the Roman goddess of love. But I think it may be more about love for another man - what Hollywood likes to call a "bromance". Getting so caught up and involved in a close friendship that it's almost like being in love. Then finally he decides Richard Hell is just too wild and crazy for him and he kind of snaps out of it.

Of course the statue of the Venus de Milo has no arms, which adds kind of a twist...
