Slavedriver
Embracing Submission: Unveiling the Depths of Desire in 'Slavedriver'
Lyrics
Slavedriver take me home, I need a master
The speaker addresses a 'slavedriver,' expressing a need for guidance or control.
I'll beg for mercy and you'll whip me faster
They're willing to submit completely to this authority figure, even if it means enduring punishment.
Some boys want freedom man, they have to wonder
Contrasting with others who seek freedom, the speaker finds comfort in confinement or limitations.
I only need four walls, my heart grows fonder
Instead of longing for freedom, the speaker grows emotionally attached to enclosed spaces.
I'll take the weight off any of your shoulders
Offering to alleviate burdens or responsibilities from the 'slavedriver.'
There are so many ways to please your lover
There are various methods available to satisfy or please a romantic partner.
I speak when spoken to, I sweep the ashes
The speaker follows commands and deals with aftermaths, possibly hinting at a subservient role.
I get my sweet reward of forty lashes
They anticipate a reward or gratification for enduring punishment or hardship.
I'll take the weight off any of your shoulders
Reiteration of the willingness to support and assist the 'slavedriver.'
You know, you know
A reaffirmation of mutual understanding or acknowledgment between the speaker and the 'slavedriver.'
You can tie my hands behind my back
The speaker is open to being restrained physically.
Now when I ask you to attract
Asking the 'slavedriver' to engage or captivate them.
I will not tell you not to stop, oh
They won't resist or ask for the actions to cease.
Feeling in my mind I can't describe
The speaker experiences an indescribable sensation or emotion in their mind.
Can't define I only know
They cannot articulate this feeling but recognize its existence.
That I want more, more
An expression of desire for more of this unknown sensation or experience.
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
Repetition of the willingness to share burdens or responsibilities while the 'slavedriver' takes control.
I'll take the weight, you take the reins
-I'll take the weight, you take the reins
-I'll take the weight, you take the reins
-I'll take the weight, you take the reins
-I'll take the weight, you take the reins
-I'll take the weight, you take the reins
-I'll take the weight, you take the reins
Reiteration of the shared responsibilities between the speaker and the 'slavedriver.'
