Slave
Moody Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The only ones I pursue
A slave to my mind
You've got me feeling overdue
Take me out
Surprise me
Misguide me
Be beside me - wherever we go
I want you to date me
Hate me
Break me
Frustrates me, I'm falling for you
In the night
It always feels so right
Close your eyes
Let me feel all you are
In the dark
Words don't mean no more than touch
Hold my hand
We can escape space and time
We can escape space and time
I know what you want
I've got what you need
Give in and let go
Just follow my lead
You've been trained to be this way
Cause I'm a sucker for old fashioned games
Let's play until you've earned your keep
A moment's rest and then reset for me
In the night
It always feels so right
Close your eyes
Let me feel all you are
In the dark
Words don't mean no more than touch
Hold my hand
We can escape space and time
You are here and you are mine

They want this person to love them, hate them, break them, frustrate them, suggesting a willingness to endure both pain and pleasure for the sake of being with them.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the intensity of their connection. In the night, everything feels right, and words become less meaningful than physical touch.
