slave
the long escape Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel an excess of a violent embrace
So let the fire consume all the evil in them
They use our lives to cure their sickness
They lead their wars we swallow our pride

We are driven by loss
We are digging our graves
These people are attempting to grow
They got fooled by their own kind

God made them as their own image
Slaves to hipocrisy relentlessly dead
Our people are the power to your voice
Don't make us fall

We are walking a thin line abusing our limits 'cause we're always up to something
We are walking a thin line across the Earth diffusing the pain
We are walking a thin line abusing our limits
We are walking a thin line

God made them as their own image
Slaves to hipocrisy relentlessly dead
Our people are the power to your voice Don't make us fall

We are walking a thin line abusing our limits
Don't make us fall




We are walking a thin line abusing our limits
Dead we're dead

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "SLAVE" by The Long Escape delve into themes of oppression, anger, loss, and the struggle to maintain one's identity and power in a society that seeks to control and manipulate. The opening lines describe an overwhelming embrace of violence, suggesting the intensity of the emotions being expressed. The fire mentioned symbolizes a cleansing force that can rid the world of the evil that exists within humanity. It implies a desire to rid oneself of the influence and control of those who exploit them.


The song criticizes those in power who manipulate and exploit the lives of others to meet their own needs. The line "They lead their wars we swallow our pride" highlights the imbalance of power and the sacrifice that marginalized individuals are forced to make. The lyrics suggest that these people, who are attempting to grow and assert their own power, have been deceived and manipulated by their own kind. The reference to God creating humans in their own image emphasizes the hypocrisy and betrayal suffered at the hands of those who claim to be righteous.


The chorus, "We are walking a thin line abusing our limits," expresses the precarious position of those who are pushed to their limits but continue to resist and fight against their oppressors. The repetition of the line signifies the constant struggle and the need to maintain balance in the face of oppression. The final line, "Dead we're dead," reinforces a sense of hopelessness and despair that may result from being trapped in a cycle of oppression and exploitation.
