Living On Video
Trans-X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give me light
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 lumière
Stop is this reality?

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 lumière
Stop is this reality?

Living on video
Sur un faisceau de lumière

I see your glitterring blue eyes
You look at me with a smile
It's a computer fantasy
It is waiting for you and me
Living, living on video
Living, living on video

Living, living on video
Stop
Video, video, video

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Trans-X's "Living On Video" are a commentary on the rise of technology and its increasing prevalence in society. The vocals are sung in a robotic, detached tone, which adds to the theme of technology replacing personal connections. The song paints a picture of a futuristic world in which people live in a computerized reality, trading human interaction for the thrill of traveling through hyper-space and seeing laser rays and purple skies.


Throughout the song, the artist calls for an end to the obsession with living through video screens and integrated circuits. The repetition of the phrase "Stop living on video" reinforces the message that the reliance on technology is causing people to lose touch with reality. The lyrics are a call to take a step back from the shiny new gadgets and reconnect with the world around us.


In the end, the song is a warning about the dangers of living in a technology-driven world where everything seems to be an illusion. It encourages us to remember that there is a reality outside of the screens we are constantly staring at, and that true connection with others only comes from real-life interactions.
