Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Preserving me, could not believe
The way that you have treating me
So convinced yourself of your own worth
Dying inside, waiting for rebirth
You know I'm gone, so far gone
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be me again
Suppressed by the need to chance
And waiting
Maybe waiting's not working out
Maybe it's time to turn around
And finally walk, walk, walk on the ground
'Cause you know who you are
Dying inside, waiting for rebirth
You know I'm gone, I'm so far gone
So far gone, so far gone
You said, you said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be us in the end
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
Dying inside
Your cries hold strong through the night
I'm on my knees begging with all my might
(Dying inside, dying inside)
Your cries hold strong through the night
Tell me now I'm gonna win this fight
(Dying inside, dying)
You said, you said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
This will never be me again
You said I'm haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
Our hearts were one
But after some time
Demolished by your fiction of love
You said I'm haunting you
You lie and lie again
Deceiving your lover
Your best friend
The lyrics of Slaves' song "Running Through The 6 With My Soul" deals with the themes of heartbreak, lost love, and becoming self-aware after being suppressed by someone else's expectations. The singer talks about being mistreated, going through a rebirth, and eventually coming to the realization that they know who they are and need to walk away from a toxic relationship. The first verse talks about how the singer has been treated poorly by someone who believes in their own worth while the singer dies inside and waits for a rebirth. The chorus speaks about the singer haunting their ex-lover, who has deceived them and destroyed their love with fictitious promises. In the second verse, the singer is waiting to make a change but realizes that maybe waiting is not working out, and it's time to walk on the ground. The final chorus repeats what is said in the first chorus.
The overall message of the song is about the journey of self-discovery, even if it means walking away from someone you love, for your own peace of mind. The singers' intense emotions are conveyed through the use of repetition, imagery, and powerfully emotional vocals. The lyrics are relatable to anyone struggling to find their identity, and the empowering ending leaves the listener feeling hopeful, as if they too can overcome any heartbreak and find a better version of themselves.
Line by Line Meaning
Chatter, no self-esteem
I constantly talk without believing in myself
Preserving me, could not believe
I am protected, but still cannot fathom
The way that you have treating me
The method you use to treat me
So convinced yourself of your own worth
You are so convinced of your own value
Dying inside, waiting for rebirth
I feel dead inside and hope for a new beginning
You know I'm gone, so far gone
You know I am no longer present or reachable
You said, you said I'm haunting you
You claim that I am haunting you
I can see it in your eyes
I can tell by looking at you
Our hearts were one
We were emotionally connected
But after some time
But over a period of time
Demolished by your fiction of love
Destroyed by your fake love
You lie and lie again
You repeatedly deceive
Deceiving your lover
Lying to the person you claim to love
Your best friend
Your closest companion
This will never be me again
I will never be in this situation again
Suppressed by the need to chance
Restricted by the desire to take risks
And waiting
And waiting for something to happen
Maybe waiting's not working out
Perhaps waiting is not the right course of action
Maybe it's time to turn around
Perhaps it is time to change direction
And finally walk, walk, walk on the ground
And finally walk on solid ground
'Cause you know who you are
Because you are aware of your true self
Your cries hold strong through the night
Your tears are powerful throughout the night
I'm on my knees begging with all my might
I am pleading intensely on my knees
Tell me now I'm gonna win this fight
Assure me that I will emerge victorious from this battle
Dying inside
Feeling dead inside
Your cries hold strong through the night
Your tears are powerful throughout the night
You said I'm haunting you
You claim that I am haunting you
This will never be us in the end
We will never end up like this

Same. Great music is just that no matter how long ago it was recorded
Julio Dominguez
encontrar Slaves fue una bonita sorpresa , la voz y presencia de Craig fue impactante, conocer que ya no estaran juntos a sido un golpe, eran la mezcla perfecta para mi, en el metal necesitamos voces como esas.
