Champion of the Light

"Living with V.D." is a raw, defiant empowerment anthem that transforms the stigma of venereal disease into a roaring battle cry. Set against driving rock instrumentation, the track channels unflinching resilience as the narrator confronts societal judgment ("Whispers follow me down every street") and internal struggle ("A secret battle I can’t let begin"). The lyrics weaponize vulnerability, turning shame into strength with declarations like "Stigma in my veins, but I won’t hide" and "Scarlet mark, still believing." The chorus erupts as a fist-pumping rallying cry ("I’m living with V.D., can’t bring me down!"), while the bridge escalates into a cathartic scream of defiance ("Every scar is proof I’m a contender"). With its unapologetic honesty and anthemic energy, the song reclaims agency from shame, framing survival as rebellion and illness as a testament to human resilience. It’s a blistering ode to owning one’s truth—scars, stigma, and all.
