The Smashing Pumpkins - venus in furs

노래는 화자가 빛나는 가죽 부츠를 통해 고통과 사랑을 표현하는 내용을 담고 있다
세베린이라는 인물과의 관계 속에서 욕망과 연약함이 드러나며, 깊은 피로 속에 수천 년의 잠과 다양한 감정을 느끼고자 한다
결국, 사랑의 고통을 맛보며 복잡한 감정의 갈망을 담고 있다

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, severin awaits you there
I am tired, i am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark
Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me
I am tired, i am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colors made of tears
