Slaves Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I choose a different route, a different path in life
Praised by many, but still labeled an outcast
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight
Make me out to be the bad guy
How long can I wear the blame?
Sick of feeling wrong
Why do they judge me all the same?
Nobody's perfect, trying to justify myself to the ones who will never
never understand
Who will never
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight
Torture myself, that's what I feel I'm worth
Torture myself, well aware that the pain is somewhere else
You can root for the villain, I'll take that title
I'll take the heat now and be your rival
The things that last never happen overnight
These calloused hands built the foundation of my life
Abandoned for love, left with no advice
How quickly we change overnight
The lyrics to Slaves's song There Is Only One God And His Name Is Death explores the idea of self-identity, societal expectations, and the struggle to be true to oneself. The opening lines suggest that the farther the singer goes in their journey to discovering who they are, the further they feel from their true self. They have chosen a different path in life, one that is not necessarily approved by society, making them an outcast despite being praised by some. The singer acknowledges that the things that last take time to build, and their calloused hands have built the foundation of their life. However, they have also been abandoned and left without guidance when it comes to love. The line "how quickly we change overnight" suggests that people can change their opinions and perceptions based on superficial things, making it difficult for the singer to fully understand and be understood.
The chorus delves into the idea of feeling misunderstood and judged, specifically being made out to be the villain or the bad guy. The singer questions how long they can wear the blame and expresses frustration at being judged all the same. They recognize that nobody is perfect, but it seems futile to try and justify themselves to those who will never understand. The second verse takes a darker turn, with the singer admitting to torturing themselves and feeling that they are only worth pain. Despite this, they are willing to take on the title of villain and rival if it means being true to themselves.
Overall, the lyrics of There Is Only One God And His Name Is Death convey a complex and relatable struggle to find oneself and stay true to personal beliefs, even in the face of societal disapproval.
