slave
Cloudscape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She was caged in a room without any way to get out.
She was lost in a darkness which
she could not figure out.

Couldn't stay there anymore.
She was trapped and couldn't get out of
there.
No nightmare is comparable.
She's been abused as a slave and she's suffering.

She felt the pain, (She felt the pain)
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light. (Dreaming of light)
She'd find a way, (She'd find a way)
running for freedom, running for light. (Running for light)

She saw a chance to escape, she'd run
through broken glass.
Wouldn't feel anymore pain in that prison of slavery.

Now she's running for her life.
She was used to be chained, but now she's out of
there.
No nightmare is comparable.
Now she's free like she is supposed to be.

She felt the pain, (She felt the pain)
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light. (Dreaming of light)
She'd find a way, (She'd find a way)
running for freedom, running for light. (Running for light)

She was freed from the chains that kept her enslaved.

Now she's running for her life.
She was used to be chained, but now she's out of
there. (Out of there)
No nightmare is comparable.
Now she's free like she is supposed to be.

She felt the pain,
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light.
She'd find a way,
running for freedom, running for light.
She felt the pain,
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light.




She'd find a way,
running for freedom, running for light.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cloudscape's song "Slave" depict the harrowing experience of a woman who has been held captive and abused as a slave. The opening lines reveal her confinement in a room, where she is trapped and unable to escape. The darkness that surrounds her adds to her sense of despair, and she finds herself wishing for a way out of this nightmare. The pain inflicted upon her has left her broken and helpless, and the only solace she can find is in dreaming of light and freedom.


As the song progresses, we see the woman's determination to escape grow stronger. She sees an opportunity to break free, and she takes it, even if it means running through broken glass. The pain she endures along the way is nothing compared to the agony of being trapped in a life of slavery. This newfound freedom is an immense victory for her, but it is not without its challenges. She must adapt to her new reality and adjust to a life without chains.
