Get Up
Vitamin X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Addicted and sedated
I just got it while you waited
You're just staring at that screen,
Level ten; you made it
I guess your mind must be x-rated
GET UP - and make something
MAKE UP - for all those years
That passed you by
Nothing is wrong with playing
Or watching for a while,
But use to have fun not just as a lifestyle
But you; you're glued to that tube
You got one life and you'd better take it
Before your mind will be x-rated!
So GET UP, OH OH OH!!
The song "Get Up" by Vitamin X is a call to action for those who are too addicted and sedated with technology. The lyrics express the idea that life should not be spent in front of a screen, whether it be a television, computer or phone. The lines "Don't spend your life/Addicted and sedated/I just got it while you waited" imply a sense of urgency; that time is slipping away and opportunities to make something of one's life are being missed.
The chorus is an uplifting message that encourages the listener to take control of their life, to "make something of your life" and "make up for all those years that passed you by". The song acknowledges that there is nothing inherently wrong with playing or watching for a while, but warns against making it a lifestyle. The line "But use to have fun not just as a lifestyle" suggests that leisure time should be balanced with productivity and personal growth.
The closing lines "Before your mind will be x-rated/So GET UP, OH OH OH!!" reiterate the sense of urgency and emphasize the consequences of a life spent in front of a screen. The use of the term "x-rated" is interesting, as it could refer to the negative effects of excessive screen time on one's mental and emotional well-being.

Don't spend your life
Don't waste your life
Addicted and sedated
Don't become addicted to drugs that make you sedated
I just got it while you waited
I achieved success while you were still waiting
You're just staring at that screen,
All you're doing is looking at a computer screen
Level ten; you made it
You've reached a high level in a game
I guess your mind must be x-rated
Your thoughts and ideas may be indecent or unacceptable
GET UP - and make something
Get up and do something productive
Of your life
With your life
MAKE UP - for all those years
Make up for all the time that you've wasted

That you let slip away
Nothing is wrong with playing
Playing games is not a bad thing
Or watching for a while,
Or watching TV for a brief time
But use to have fun not just as a lifestyle
Don't let gaming or TV become your entire lifestyle
But you; you're glued to that tube
But you're stuck watching TV
You got one life and you'd better take it
You only have one life, so make the most of it

Before your thoughts become indecent or unacceptable
So GET UP, OH OH OH!!
So get up and do something productive

Lyrics:
ABOUT TO CRACK
How much can I take
How much longer before I will break
Break away, break the chain
How much longer, (can't) take no longer
About to crack
Back against the wall
About to crack
Can't take no more – no more!
How much can I take
How much longer will I suffocate
And run into a dead end
How much longer, can't take no longer
About to crack
Back against the wall
About to crack
Can't take no more – no more!
About, about to crack
About, about to crack
