Slave to Love
Jazzystics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In the usual place
With the tired and weary
There's no escape
To need a woman
You've got to know
How the strong get weak
And the rich get poor
oh, slave to love
you're running with me
Don't touch the ground
We're the restless hearted
Not the chained and bound
The sky is burning
A sea of flame
Though your world is changing
I will be the same
Slave to love
oh, slave to love
Slave to love (na na na na, na na na na)
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
The storm is breaking
Or so it seems
We're too young to reason
Too grown up to dream
Now spring is turning
Your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile
Slave to love (na na na na, na na na na)
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
Slave to love (na na na na, na na na na)
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
(na na na na, na na na na)
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
(na na na na, na na na na)
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
(na na na na, na na na na)
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
The lyrics of Jazzystics' song "Slave to Love" convey the feelings of being deeply infatuated with someone to the point of feeling bound and captivated by their love. The singer is waiting for this person in their usual meeting place, acknowledging their own exhaustion and weariness, but accepting that there is no escape from this love. To truly desire a woman, they explain, one must understand how even the strongest individuals can become weak and how even the richest can become poor when love takes over.
The chorus emphasizes the idea of being a slave to love, implying a surrender to the intense emotions that love brings. The lyrics depict a sense of freedom and a disconnectedness from the material world, as they describe themselves and their love interest as the "restless hearted" rather than the "chained and bound." This love seems all-consuming, with the line "Don't touch the ground" suggesting a state of transcending ordinary human experiences. Despite the changing world around them, the singer promises to remain constant and unwavering.
The verses also touch on the concept of youth and maturity, stating that they are "too young to reason" yet "too grown up to dream." This could imply a sense of confusion and conflict between being guided by youthful passions and desires while simultaneously trying to navigate the realities of adulthood. As spring turns their face towards their lover's, the lyrics indicate a deep emotional connection, symbolized by hearing their laughter and seeing their smile.
Overall, "Slave to Love" explores the idea of being irresistibly drawn to someone and willingly surrendering oneself to the powerful emotions and transformative nature of love.
Line by Line Meaning
Tell her I'll be waiting
Inform her that I will be patiently anticipating her arrival
In the usual place
Within the familiar location where we typically meet
With the tired and weary
Accompanied by those who are fatigued and exhausted
There's no escape
There is no means of avoiding or eluding this situation
To need a woman
In order to yearn for a woman
You've got to know
One must understand
How the strong get weak
The process by which individuals who possess strength become vulnerable
And the rich get poor
Similarly, the wealthy individuals experience a decline in their wealth
Slave to love
One who is completely under the control and influence of love
oh, slave to love
Oh, a helpless captive of love
you're running with me
You are accompanying me in a fast-paced journey
Don't touch the ground
We are floating or soaring without making contact with the surface
We're the restless hearted
We are those who possess a perpetually unsettled and yearning heart
Not the chained and bound
In contrast to those who are restrained and constrained
The sky is burning
The atmosphere is ablaze or filled with intense emotion
A sea of flame
An enormous expanse of fire or intense passion
Though your world is changing
Even if your surroundings are transforming
I will be the same
I will remain unchanged or steadfast
The storm is breaking
The tempest is beginning to subside
Or so it seems
At least that is the appearance
We're too young to reason
We lack the maturity or experience to make logical decisions
Too grown up to dream
We have become too mature to indulge in imaginative fantasies
Now spring is turning
Currently, the season of spring is undergoing a transition
Your face to mine
Your countenance is directed towards mine
I can hear your laughter
I am able to perceive the sound of your joyous laughter
I can see your smile
I can witness the expression of happiness on your face
(na na na na, na na na na)
Vocalization without specific meaning
slave to love (No I can't escape, i'm a slave to love)
Utterly unable to break free, I am completely under the dominion of love
