Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doko he datte tonde yukeru jiyuu na hazu datta
Who wanna break your and my place?
When did you let me fall in the love?
Mata hikareteku netsu motometeru
Becoming slave soba ni isasete
Becoming slave omoi no mama ni
Shihai shite kotoba hitotsu de
Slaving slaving slaving for you
Surechigatte ashi ga tomatta kimi no nioi ga shite
Mane shiteta kuchiguse wa naori sou mo nakute
Who wanna break your and my place?
When did you let me fall in the love?
Mada kogareteru yobitsudzuketeru
Becoming slave uso wo togamete
Kowashite yo Give me love
Becoming slave nigerarenai you ni
Tojikomete kagi wo kaketara
Dakishimeta ato ni komatta kao shinaide yo
Kawashita ai wa mou So long...
Becoming slave soba ni isasete
Kogoeteru Give me love
Becoming slave omoi no mama ni
Shihai shite kotoba hitotsu de
Becoming slave uso wo togamete
Kowashite yo Give me love
Becoming slave nigerarenai you ni
Tojikomete kagi wo kaketara
Slaving slaving slaving for you
In Miyu Inoue's song "Slave," the lyrics depict the feeling of being trapped in love and becoming a slave to someone's desires. The first verse talks about breaking free from the arms of the person who has held on for too long, with the intention to fly and be free. The feeling of freedom is expected to be present when one falls in love, but the second line of the verse questions when and how the person fell in love, indicating that their freedom was taken from them. The chorus talks about becoming a slave, being controlled by someone else's love, and asking to be given love that can thaw the frozen heart. The repetition of the word "slaving" emphasizes the theme of being powerless in love.
The second verse describes how the person's life stopped when they walked past the one they love. Even though she tried to control her feelings and act cool, her heart kept calling out to her lover. The bridge talks about not giving a sad face after a hug, and the love they shared is gone. The last chorus repeats the theme of becoming a slave once more, asking the person to stay with them so they won't be alone, and locking the key in a place where they cannot escape.
