"Venus Fly Trap" is a song about being yourself and not letting others bring you down. The lyrics suggest that Marina has always had a hard time fitting in with mainstream culture, but has found success and happiness by being true to herself. The imagery of a Venus fly trap in the opening line of the song serves as a metaphor for the narrator's approach to life - they won't sit back and let others dictate their fate, but instead will be a force to be reckoned with and take control of their own destiny.
