In Venere Veritas Lyrics

So not only has the name of the song been spelled incorrectly, but some of the lyrics are incorrect as well.

Either way, the lyrics end up still meaning the same thing. And why has no one commented on this song yet?!?!

But anyway, I think the meaning is simple.

The term "In venere veritas" is a term that Ville Valo took from the latin phrase "In Vino Veritas" - Which translates to "In wine there is truth." But because of Ville Valo's play on words, his version actually means "In sexual desire there is truth."

So in conclusion, I'd say this is just a classic HIM song about sleeping/being with someone you don't love (or just a COMPLETELY wrong relationship)and ending up getting hurt in the end.

Another indication of this is the first lines of the song which should be,

Zipping cupid in a body bag well worn, - (meaning: basically love is dead/gone or doesn't exist) Next to the mausoleum he was born in, - (meaning: was done from the beginning) Picking up the pieces of this gory glory of it all, - (meaning: getting over it all) from eve to mourn, (meaning: day after day)

Maybe i'm wrong I don't know, but this is just my opinion of it all. :)

Hope that helps! :D

Song Meaning

Well I was told 'In Venere Veritas' means in Venus there is truth. Cos Venus is the god of sex or love or what not. It would translate to in sex there is truth

or so I have been told

I haven't heard the song in a while so I have yet to make an assumption on it's meaning

My bad. Didn't read all of it. Sorry

I thought it meant in love there is trust. not necessarily sex.
