Slave
Chained Mind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A whole life preparing for something Worthless
Office Slave chained to money
A wasted life that doesn’t recover
You think studying makes you wise
But you're just a recorder
Repeating nonsense
A parasite of the common
When 500 years have passed
Who will remember your name?
Nobody will know about your sad life
There will be no trace of your voice
The moment is coming
Consumed by work
A sad slave life, something is wrong
Renouncing dreams for a role
Chained mind, sick mind
Leech without values
It makes me sick how you talk
It makes me sick how you live
Selfish being without purpose
Your nose doesn’t let you see
Intolerant and Greedy
The account will reach you
The world will discard you
We must leave a mark in the world
Or our life will end incomplete
People without purpose
They are only born to steal our oxygen
Your ignorance is a disease
Do not contaminate others
Your offspring must end
And the time will come.
The moment is coming
Consumed by work
A sad slave life, something is wrong
Renouncing dreams for a role
Chained mind, sick mind
The lyrics of Chained Mind's song "Slave" critique the modern-day obsession with work and materialistic success. The song portrays the singer as someone trapped in a monotonous and unfulfilling life, chained to the pursuit of money and career advancement. The lyrics suggest that the emphasis on studying and acquiring knowledge is shallow, as it merely turns individuals into recorders of information, repeating nonsensical ideas without any true wisdom or personal growth.
The idea of leaving a lasting legacy is also explored in the lyrics. The song questions the significance of one's life in the long run, asking who will remember or know about the singer's existence after hundreds of years. It implies that a life solely dedicated to work is ultimately meaningless and leaves no trace of one's voice or individuality.
The song also criticizes selfishness, greed, and intolerance. It highlights how these negative qualities can be destructive and isolating, leading to a life that lacks purpose and connection. The lyrics urge individuals not to contaminate others with their ignorance and selfishness, suggesting that such behavior will eventually catch up to them and cause their downfall.
Overall, "Slave" is a powerful critique of the modern-day rat race and serves as a reminder to prioritize personal fulfillment, purpose, and empathy over materialistic success.
