Cover art for Drug Of Choice lyrics by 10 Years

"Sex always sells Death is a thrill Entertain my lack of patience How much we pay To be tailor made Fashion slaves The trends will change now"

Sex is used to sell everything and anything nowadays, it has no limits to what it can be used for or with...Even Disney will go there. We are also infatuated with death as a society, when a celebrity dies or people in general....It's always the headline of news. We are seemingly bored quick and easy like some kind of massive ADD sweeping the nation, everything needs to be faster and harder as we progress. What's "in" now, won't be or even matter soon enough but people just keep chasing the trends.

"What is your drug of choice Pick your poison and enjoy What is your drug of choice Pick your poison and enjoy"

Everything that is [resented to us in society is like the form of a drug, we think we need it but we really don't. And everything is like that, so pick one of these bad aspects of society and enjoy it I guess. Like drugs it's a quick fix, and in the end unfulfillable.

"Reality, Scripted TV Chasing 15 minutes of fame Fight over fuel Violence in school The youth are as confused as I am"

It means pretty much what it say's.

"Disasterbation the thrill of a nation Temptation is for sale Disasterbation the death of a nation Manipulate Yourself"

I think Disasterbation means how we feed into it all and indulge ourselves my our own will, we are sold it and we buy into it. Materialism is killing the growth of people, and most of all you're not lloking out for yourself.

"We're so weak for Blaming persuasion Live a life based on imitation"

We should be able to make choice for ourselves, and not let some designed image of what you're supposed to be affect what you want to me. In the end it's your choice, although media plays a huge role in influencing people.

So all in all I think this song is talking about materialism, and not being yourself while striving to be something your not but are basically told to be by the media.
