One More Time
Vitamin X Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One more time I'm talking about
The things that I think are wrong
One more time those lyrics you say you heard
Already ten milion times!
ONE MORE TIME
One last time i'm talking about prejudice and hate
One more time i'm singing a song
Dealing with violence and rape
ONE MORE TIME

You say that hardcore is repeating itself
Those same ol'lyrics in every song
But how the fuck can you really expect
Me not singing 'bout what is wrong!!!

ONE MORE TIME? as long as it takes!!





Believe it or not but lately I read some reviews where the reviewers were putting bands down because of their socalled boring and cliche lyrics.
This really pisses me off!! You can never have enough lyrics about ending war, ending racism, ending sexism,etc. So as long as those things exist I will never stop singing about it!! And to those who don't like political lyrics: fuck off and go back listening to your Phil Collins collection!!

Overall Meaning

The song One More Time by Vitamin X is a politically charged hardcore punk anthem that emphasizes on the need for continuous discussion and awareness of social issues such as prejudice, hate, violence, and rape.

However, the repetition is necessary to make a difference, to create a platform for discussion and awareness. The song addresses the critique that hardcore punk is monotonous with the same lyrics being repeated over and over again. The response to that critique is, how can one not sing about things that need addressing? The song is a call to action, a call for relentless efforts in addressing societal issues no matter how many times it takes to make a difference.

Often, music is used as an escape from societal issues, and it is essential to recognize the power of music to make a difference. The song One More Time is a reminder of the role musicians can play in creating a better world.
