Venus' Flytrap and the Bug

Stevie Wonder

Hello flower

Boy, do you look juicy

And you know just what I¡¯m coming to get, right

Don¡¯t eat me

Please don¡¯t eat me

I¡¯m trapped in your love

Save me, don¡¯t hurt me

About this Song

Venus' Flytrap and the Bug by Stevie Wonder delves into the themes of manipulation, entrapment, and survival. The song metaphorically discusses the relationship between the Venus flytrap and the bug – a dance of predator and prey. Stevie Wonder uses this analogy to explore how some relationships can be toxic, where one party takes advantage of the other’s vulnerabilities. Key poignant moments include the description of the bug's initial attraction to the flytrap and its eventual realization of the danger it's in, mirroring real-life scenarios where people realize too late that they've been deceived. The song serves as a cautionary tale about being aware of one's surroundings and the intentions of those they interact with.
