Slave
Candace Sosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't ignore, check the door, who'd they ask for?
There's no one there, i can't explain
The wires in my brain misfiring, its the same war
This origami shelter that i'm in begins to curve
I'm too afraid to even move
These thoughts that i've created
'Til there's nothing left but you, you
It kinda feels like you're real and i'm your slave
They say "just take the drugs,
It'll cover it up"
But it kinda feels like you're real and i'm your slave
They say just "take the drugs,
It'll cover it up"
But when it rains, when It rains It floods
Lost all my defenses
All to your expense
I'll just keep on doing what i wanna do
Make the best of whatever's left
Anything to keep myself away from you
This origami shelter that i'm in begins to curve
I'm too afraid to even move
These thoughts that i've created
Take the reing and misbehave
'Til there's nothing left but you, you
It kinda feels like you're real and i'm your slave
They say "just take the drugs,
It'll cover it up"
But it kinda feels like you're real and i'm your slave
They say "just take the drugs,
It'll cover it up"
But when It rains, when It rains
When It rains It floods
Ay, ay, ay, ay yeah
Now i'm chained to the thought
Ay, ay, ay, ay yeah
Never thought i'd get lost
Ay, ay, ay, ay yeah
Now i'm chained to the thought
Ay, ay, ay, ay yeah
Never thought i'd get lost
The lyrics to Candace Sosa's song "Slave" detail the singer's struggles with mental health issues and the sense of being trapped in her own mind. The opening lines convey a feeling of uncertainty and confusion, as the singer questions whether she is imagining things or if someone is actually at the door. This sense of being unable to distinguish reality from her own thoughts is further emphasized by the repeated refrain of "It kinda feels like you're real and I'm your slave."
The song then touches on the singer's attempts to deal with her mental health struggles, with the line "They say just 'take the drugs, it'll cover it up'" a nod to the tendency of medical professionals to rely too heavily on medication as a solution. However, the singer is aware that simply masking the symptoms won't solve the underlying problem, and that the weight of her emotions will always come flooding back in the end.
The final repetition of the refrain "Now I'm chained to the thought, never thought I'd get lost" is a poignant and powerful way to end the song, reflecting the sense of powerlessness and entrapment that so many people with mental health issues can relate to. Overall, the lyrics to "Slave" are a moving exploration of an important topic, and Candace Sosa's emotive delivery adds even more depth and authenticity to the song.
