Slave
Be//gotten Lyrics

The lyrics of "Slave to the night" by Be//gotten express the singer's loneliness and how their longing for companionship has led them to become a slave to the night. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been searching for love and affection, but despite the care from those around them, they still feel lonely. The line, "So you think that you have seen me, but you never touch my truth" suggests that the singer feels unseen and unheard, and their truth goes unnoticed.

The chorus "I'm a slave to the night, a child of the moon, Blue temptation is calling you, Don't you go away, it's alright I'll give you anything, Just keep on paying for your love" implies that the singer has found comfort in the night and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the feeling of comfort and companionship that they have found. They are willing to pay for love and companionship, even if it is just temporarily because they don't want to be alone anymore. The line "Playing with a stranger, throw away the time" speaks to the idea of using anonymous encounters to alleviate loneliness which can be unsatisfactory and ultimately unsatisfying.

The lyrics convey the desperation and despair that can come with loneliness, as the singer is willing to be a slave to the night to avoid being alone. Despite the temporary companionship they have found, the lyrics suggest that they still bury their tears in the white sand. This suggests that even though the singer has found temporary comfort, they are still deeply unhappy and sad, and the song ends with an invitation to keep paying for love.
