slave
JUVAL Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like a gum that won't run out of taste
Though I freeze when my eyes meet your gaze
I can't look away, can't look away
You can make me believe that I'm whole (Yeah)
Make electric chairs feel like a throne (Yeah)
From this prison you made out of gold, yeah
I can't escape, I can't escape
Lost in your cave
Crawling my way up and down
Way up and down
I'm just a slave walking away
And I don't need your kiss goodbyes (Your kiss goodbyes)
Filled your pockets, it's never enough
Played your games, now my life is on pause
You can fix all my symptoms but never the cause
To make me stay, I don't think I'll stay
I'm just a slave
Lost in your cave
Crawling my way up and down
Way up and down
I'm just a slave walking away
And I don't need your kiss goodbyes (No)
Your kiss goodbyes
I just can't get enough of your face
Like a gum that won't run out of taste
I'm just a slave
Lost in your cave
Crawling my way up and down
Way up and down
I'm just a slave walking away
And I don't need your kiss goodbyes, no
Your kiss goodbyes (Your kiss goodbyes)
No, no I don't need your kiss goodbyes
(I'm not your slave, lost in your cave)
No I don't need your kiss goodbyes
In these lyrics, JUVAL paints a vivid picture of being in a captivating yet suffocating relationship. The first paragraph describes an intense attraction to someone's face, comparing it to a gum that never loses its taste. However, despite being drawn to this person, the singer freezes when their eyes meet and finds it impossible to look away. This metaphorical gaze represents the power this person has over them.
The second paragraph delves into the dynamics of the relationship. The person the singer is infatuated with has the ability to make them feel whole and even turn the discomfort of electric chairs into a metaphorical throne. However, what seems like a golden prison is also a trap from which the singer cannot escape. This notion of being a slave demonstrates a sense of powerlessness and feeling lost in the other person's control.
The third paragraph reveals a shift in mindset and a desire for freedom. The singer no longer wants to be "just a slave" and acknowledges the need to walk away from this relationship. There is a realization that the affection, represented by "your kiss goodbyes," is no longer needed. It becomes apparent that this person's love is not enough to satisfy the singer's needs.
In the final paragraph, the repetition of the phrase "I don't need your kiss goodbyes" reinforces the determination to break free. The singer no longer wants to be trapped in the metaphorical cave and expresses a defiance against the control and manipulations of this person. The repeated assertion that they don't need these emotional farewells highlights a newfound sense of independence and strength.
Overall, "Slave" explores the contradictory emotions of being irresistibly drawn to someone while also feeling trapped and powerless in the relationship. It depicts a journey toward self-awareness, realization, and the desire for freedom from the control and manipulation of the other person.

I have engaged in your manipulative games, resulting in my life coming to a standstill
You can fix all my symptoms but never the cause

To make me stay, I don't think I'll stay
Despite your efforts to make me remain, I doubt I will choose to stay in this confined state any longer
No, no I don't need your kiss goodbyes
I have realized that I no longer crave your affectionate farewells and goodbyes
(I'm not your slave, lost in your cave)
I refuse to continue being your slave, trapped within the depths of your influence
No I don't need your kiss goodbyes
I have finally broken free from the need for your affectionate farewells
