Living on Video
Lazard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me action
At the touch of a button
Flying through hyper-space
In a computer interface
Stop, living on video
Stop, integrated circuits
Stop, sur un faisceau de lumieres
Is this reality?
Stop
Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop
Traveling in a light beam
Laser rays and purple skies
In a computer fairyland
It is a dream you bring to life
Stop, living on video
Stop, integrated circuits
Stop, sur un faisceau de lumieres
Is this reality?
The song "Living on Video" by Lazard highlights the idea of escapism through technology. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a world where one can travel through space and time with just a touch of a button. The opening lines of the song, "Give me light, give me action," suggest the desire for excitement and adventure that is inherent in humanity. However, this desire is contrasted with the reality of living through a computer interface and the question is posed: "Is this reality?"
The chorus "Stop, living on video" emphasizes the message of the song which is that living through videos or computer interfaces is not living fully or living in reality. The song speaks about a dream world that is almost unattainable, and a world that people may not want to escape. This is seen when the song talks about a "computer fairyland" - this is a world where one can let their imagination run wild and escape the realities of their own lives.
Overall, "Living on Video" highlights the theme of escapism and the desire to live beyond the limits of our physical reality. It's a reminder to not get too caught up in technology or videos, but to truly engage with the world around us.
