Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm sick of giving in to these demons
I wanna get out, I wanna get out
I'm sick of giving in to these demons
With eyes wide open, all I see is the dark
Another hit, another mark
A small pinch and my whole world starts to spark
The minds a tricky thing when it comes to the loss of you
Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life
If I'm so empty, then why do I feel alive?
Let's go back for the last time, when you breathe you lie
Pretty thing keep your mouth closed, and those legs tangled close
Dear shame, are you forever?
I'll never know what it's like to keep my head from spinning
I'll carry the flame for you, I'll carry the weight for you
In that moment I don't need to think twice, the end of a shattered life
Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life
If I'm so empty, then why do I feel alive?
Let's go back for the last time, when you breathe you lie
Pretty thing keep your mouth closed, and those legs tangled close
I feel her body break under the weight
My selfish lies, selfish lies, I can't do it any other way
Sometimes I hear her cries, I hear her cries
Under, under, under the weight of my love
Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life
If I'm so empty, then why do I feel alive?
Let's go back for the last time, when you breathe you lie
Pretty thing keep your mouth closed, and those legs tangled close
The song "My Soul Is Empty and Full of White Girls" by Slaves is a haunting and introspective look at addiction and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The lyrics speak to a desire to break free from the constant hold of “demons” that drive the singer to rely on drugs. The opening lines “I wanna get out, I wanna get out, I'm sick of giving in to these demons” set the tone for the entire song. The singer feels trapped in a cycle of addiction and longs to be free from its grasp.
The second verse delves deeper into the emotional pain of addiction, using vivid imagery to describe the singer’s drug use. The line “A small pinch and my whole world starts to spark” speaks to the temporary high that relieves the pain for a brief time. However, the following line “If I had another chance, I can't say what I'd do” suggests a hesitancy to fully embrace a life without drugs. Addiction is described as a “tricky thing” when it comes to coping with loss, hinting at a possible root cause for why the singer turned to drugs in the first place.
The chorus repeats the line “Sometimes I hear her cries, silence is the dirtiest trick in life” which adds a layer of complexity to the song. Here, the drug use is framed as a way to cope with a lost love. It is possible that the “demons” in question are the emotions that come along with losing someone important. Overall, the song speaks to the deep emotional pain that drives addiction and the constant struggle to break free.

Admitting to being selfish and unable to change despite the harm it causes
Sometimes I hear her cries, I hear her cries
The guilt and regret of past actions haunt me constantly
Under, under, under the weight of my love
The heavy burden of my unrequited or unattainable love for someone

Sounds nice! Had it playing in the backround while reading. Jonny has one of the best vocal ranges of anyone ive ever heard.
Kevin Perera
I love it. It sounds so much more chaotic, so much more hollow and bitter - it's tasty, and the guitar feels more technical. :D
