Vitamin X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But that's easy to say
Cause you're only following standards set
Maybe it's time to breakaway
This is what I say..
I will not support THE USE OF DRUGS
But drug laws are old and we….
And you can close your eyes
You can turn your head
Your solution seems so clear
You just won't listen up
While education should be here-
Or are you too deaf to hear?
Let's take a first step and regulate maybe that
DECRIMINALIZATION IS THE WAY….
So DARE to take that first step
---------------------------------------------------
We are a straight edge band and say no to drugs, but
We support the legalization of drugs. First of all:
People should have the right to do with their own
Bodies whatever they want. Besides that: the 'war on
Drugs' is not a success: druglords are getting richer
While more and more young people are getting addicted.
We choose for education and regulation instead of
Oppression. So: no more pushers who are selling their
Poison to kids on schoolyards; no more druglords who
Have control over whole economies. Get them all out
Of their 'jobs' now!!
The lyrics to Vitamin X's song "First Step" appear to be directed towards those who advocate for the banning of drugs without considering alternatives, such as decriminalization and regulation. The verses suggest that simply promoting a drug-free lifestyle and enforcing strict drug laws may not be effective in preventing drug addiction and drug-related crime. The chorus suggests that decriminalization may be a better alternative to the current system, as it would allow for more education and regulation to prevent drug abuse.
The lyrics appear to express a nuanced approach to drug policy, recognizing that drug use can be harmful while also recognizing the limitations of current drug policies. The song advocates for regulation and education as more effective strategies for reducing drug-related harm, rather than simply banning drugs and punishing drug users.
Overall, "First Step" seems to reflect the perspective of a straight-edge punk band that rejects drug use but is critical of the current drug policy regime. The song advocates for a more thoughtful and compassionate approach to drug policy that prioritizes harm reduction and education over punishment and criminalization.
