Starving For FRIENDS
Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I miss the days of being on fire
Riding around with the ones that keep me inspired
I miss the days of feeling on fire
I miss the days of feeling on fire
Riding around with the ones that kept me inspired
But I could have been wrong, I could have been right
See I was just waiting for the moment to take me away
It's just one of those days, oh yeah
Can't we let it go?
Will we ever let it go? (Will we ever let it go)
I feel the only way to let go is to say, "I'm sorry"
Don't make me wait for a falling star
I've been afraid that the blood in my heart
Won't sing for me a melody that starts
Drown me in the rain, I'll swim and sink for you
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
You poison me
I'm burning colors that can see this change
I can tell the bitter taste
I'm two-faced and I can't see straight
But don't pretend to run away
I know you hear me
Just another kid to care, let it go
Just another story for the books
How did I fall off track?
How did I let you turn your back on me?
Back on me
Don't make me wait for a falling star
I've been afraid that the blood in my heart
Won't sing for me a melody that starts
Drown me in the rain, I'll swim and sink for you
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
If I'm home by sunrise will my islands fade?
I'm too tired now to save my problems for another day
'Cause I spent my whole life between fear and faith
I don't know if I'll be screaming or if I'll be dreaming
It's plain and simple
I don't know what I was thinking
I miss my friends
The ones I would die for
Don't make me wait for a falling star
I've been afraid that the blood in my heart
Won't sing for me a melody that starts
Drown me in the rain, you know I'll be there for you
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
In their song "Starving For FRIENDS," Slaves reminisces about the good old days when they were on fire, probably meaning that they felt passionate, driven, and unstoppable. They miss the company of those who inspired them and kept them going. However, they also question what they could have done differently and whether they made mistakes that cost them their friendships. They feel lost and seek forgiveness from those they may have wronged.
The chorus talks about waiting for a falling star, which is synonymous with waiting for a miracle. They fear that their heart may no longer beat with the same passion, and that they may lose their ability to create meaningful music. They reiterate the value of their friends, who were their only saving grace, and the need to let go of past events to move forward.
Overall, the song is a reflection of how easily we can lose track of our passions and how crucial it is to have good friends who keep us inspired and motivated. It also demonstrates the importance of forgiveness and how it can heal strained relationships.

I miss the days of being on fire, damn
I long for the days when I was full of energy and passion
Riding around with the ones that keep me inspired
Being around my friends who inspire me
But I could have been wrong, I could have been right
And not have to see my friends tonight
I may have made mistakes that affect my relationship with my friends
See I was just waiting for the moment to take me away
It's just one of those days, oh yeah
Can't we let it go?
Will we ever let it go? (Will we ever let it go)
I feel the only way to let go is to say, "I'm sorry"
I was waiting for the right moment to leave, but I am realizing that I need to let go and apologize to my friends for my mistakes
Don't make me wait for a falling star
I don't want to waste time waiting for something that may never happen
I've been afraid that the blood in my heart
Won't sing for me a melody that starts
I worry that my emotions won't allow me to experience the joy of life
Drown me in the rain, I'll swim and sink for you
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
I am willing to go through any hardship for my friends as they are the only ones who have ever supported me
You poison me
I'm burning colors that can see this change
I can tell the bitter taste
I'm two-faced and I can't see straight
But don't pretend to run away
I know you hear me
My emotions towards you are chaotic, but I know that you still care for me
Just another kid to care, let it go
Just another story for the books
How did I fall off track?
How did I let you turn your back on me?
Back on me
I feel like I am just another person to you and I am struggling to understand how our friendship changed
If I'm home by sunrise will my islands fade?
I'm too tired now to save my problems for another day
'Cause I spent my whole life between fear and faith
I don't know if I'll be screaming or if I'll be dreaming
I am worried that my problems will never go away and that I will always be caught between fear and faith, wondering if I will ever find peace
It's plain and simple
I don't know what I was thinking
I miss my friends
The ones I would die for
I realize that I was not thinking clearly and that I miss my friends who mean everything to me
Drown me in the rain, you know I'll be there for you
You were the only, you were the only saving grace I ever had
I will always be there for you, as you are the only person who has ever brought me hope and joy
