Who's Gonna Gain?
Vitamin X Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're all the same, just like you
All the same, I believe it's true
Fighting each other now tell me
Who's gonna gain?
The fucking rich and powerful
We're just playing their game
Now it's time to sow new seeds
Sow the seeds of change and make it last
GROW FAST
Replace dead flowers and forget the past
GROW FAST
Together we can make this garden grow
GROW FAST
Don't need no gardener to cut out our growth
GROW FAST
Plant the seeds of change and make it last!!
At school we're competing. Finding a house: we're competing. Finding a job: we're competing. Competition is everywhere, even between bands or good friends. This system of competition divides us and makes people see each other as rivals. We should not fight/compete each other while the ones in power are getting richer and richer. We should work together to overthrow this system of control and competition, reward and punishment!!!
The lyrics of Vitamin X's song "Who's Gonna Gain?" speak about the destructive nature of competition and its negative impact on society. The song emphasizes that nobody is superior or inferior to anyone else, and that we are all essentially the same. Despite this, we are constantly fighting with each other, and the question is raised - who is going to benefit from this endless competition? The answer, according to the song, is the rich and powerful - those who are already in control.
The song calls for a change in the status quo, and for people to stop playing the game that the rulers have set up. It is time to sow new seeds and create a new kind of society, one that is not based on competition and the pursuit of power. The lyrics urge listeners to work together and make the garden of life grow, without the need for a gardener to cut out certain types of growth. The goal is to create a society where everyone is equal and working towards the common good.
