Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Fortunate Youth's song Vibration Dub are open to interpretation, as is often the case with dub reggae. However, to me, these lyrics seem to be discussing the idea of positive energy and how it can lift us up. The first line, "Who put out the fire?" could be a reference to feeling low or burned out in life. The following line, "Oh it's only gonna be so higher so higher high" suggests that despite feeling low, there is potential for things to get better and for our energy to rise. The repetition of "higher" emphasizes this idea of lifting oneself up. The next line, "bring me my fire" encourages taking action to boost one's energy or motivation. Finally, "it's bringing it higher so high" might mean that by bringing this fire, this positive energy, we can continue to elevate our mood and feelings.

Overall, these lyrics convey a message of hope and optimism, emphasizing the importance of taking control of our own energy and seeking out positivity when we feel down.
