Cursive faces, goose-steeping to the dance floor, all with the committed intent to get a 'buzz.' Dagga might be a reference to the the South American plant, which induces psycho active effects. With the rebellious adolescent 'playing' and the self-righteous saying, this appears to me as a commentary on the desire to hide from the horrors of life by simply pretending there are not any. With such despair, someone must have an answer!
Like any predator playing with the 'toys,' there is always a will to deceive by portraying unrealistic fantasies as truth and hope in a world laden with grief and misery to those same figurines who are expendable and get suckered into an enigmatic system. Essentially a story of escaping reality with a fantasy of fabled love with the deity Venus wearing furs and then coming to snap into reality and find the 'love' is just a matter of dominance and control, "Venus in Furs," written by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch (his last name is where 'masochism' comes from), in the song has a reference to not the warmth and safety of 'furs' which love would inspire, but "in uniforms" as constricting clothing for someone who then becomes a product by buying into the image as love as a product.
With so much familiarity of the majority of people buying into this product and then spewing derogatory condemnations at those who do not buy into this tainted perception of love, it creates a fascism of love as just another commodity. The song appears outwardly as very rhythm-based and upbeat, but it then seems entirely sardonic and sinister when you begin to think of how the story tells of succumbing to this idea of love, just to fill the void that compounds self-loathing, fear and despair. The idea of being driven to go up and down "the stairs of substance" with 'addicted' users of the same type blaring music aimed at fitting the mood of the consecrated spectacle of being bound as one hallucinatory
