Are You Satisfied?
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ahhh
She said brother are you satisfied
with the way you have been living your whole life
I know it's predictable and some what cliche
but if you wanna get your point across these days you got to be real real strange.
Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
Brother Are you satisfied?
Are you satisfied?
*Guitar*
Are you satisfied?
The lyrics to Slaves's song "Are You Satisfied?" speak to the dissatisfaction and disconnection that many people feel in modern society. The singer's sister asks him if he is satisfied with the way he has been living his life. She acknowledges that the path he is on is "predictable and somewhat cliche," but emphasizes that in order to make an impact in today's world, "you gotta be real real strange." The repeated chorus of "are you satisfied?" is a challenging and thought-provoking question that forces the listener to question their own level of contentment and purpose in life.
Overall, the song is an expression of the frustration and disillusionment that many people feel with society's expectations and the pressure to conform. It encourages individuality and calls on listeners to be true to themselves, even if that means going against the grain.
