Enslaved
Mِtley Crüe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This life is what you make it, don't slide
You can't compromise
You click your heels three times your imagination runs wild
You can't analyze
So be sure that you are makin' the best of what, that you have
The truth is all within yourself
Higher, higher it's where we want to be in our minds
It will mesmerize
It's pleasure power that's what we devour
You can't have it crystallized
Now it's time to look at what you've done, with your life
And that path you found and followed in yourself
I won't be a slave, a slave to someone else
I won't be a slave, a slave to anyone
The question is, when it's all done
Who will stand, and I will run
The answer is on my tongue
I won't be a slave to anyone.
So be sure, that you are makin' the best, makin' the best of life
And that you have the truth, it's within yourself
And don't be a slave, a slave to someone else
No don't be a slave, a slave to someone else
Mötley Crüe's song "Enslaved" is a powerful and motivational song that encourages listeners to take control of their own lives and not be held captive by others. The opening lines remind us that life is what we make it and we have the power to determine our own destiny. The lyrics then delve into the dangers of compromising our own beliefs and allowing ourselves to become enslaved to the power of others. The message of the song is clear - we need to actively pursue our own goals and dreams, and never allow ourselves to become prisoners to the expectations of others.
The second verse encourages listeners to strive for higher goals and not to settle for mediocrity. The power of pleasure and the allure of temptation is highlighted, but it is clear that these feelings cannot be easily crystallized and need to be harnessed in a positive and constructive way. The bridge offers some introspection into how we have lived our lives and encourages us to find our own path and not follow the crowd. The final lines of the song "I won't be a slave to anyone" serve as a powerful rallying cry for listeners to take charge of their own lives and become the masters of their own destiny.
