Enslavement Blues
Breaking Chains: A Musical Rebellion Against Modern Enslavement
Lyrics
I'm enslaved by the weekdays
I feel constrained and controlled during the weekdays.
By their names Monday and Friday
The specific days Monday and Friday symbolize the workweek's structure.
I'm enslaved by the things we say
Our communication and language contribute to my feeling of enslavement.
And everywhere I go a little secret
Everywhere I go, there's a hidden burden or issue.
And I wish that you would come here
I desire your presence to reassure me about our collective well-being.
And tell me that we're all doing fine
Expressing a hope for positive reassurance regarding the overall state of affairs.
And I wish that you would come here
A repetition of the desire for someone to confirm our mental stability.
And tell me that were not losing our minds
Seeking affirmation that we are not collectively losing our sanity.
I'm enslaved by the living space
I feel confined by my living environment, including walls and workplaces.
By the walls, roofs and the working place
The physical structures of living and working contribute to my sense of enslavement.
I'm enslaved by the games we play
The societal games we play have a binding effect.
No matter what I do, I will still sell myself
Despite efforts, I am compelled to compromise my values for survival.
And I wish that you would come here
Expressing a desire for reassurance that we are not facing imminent demise.
And tell me that we're not dying here
A repetition of the wish for confirmation regarding our well-being.
And I wish that you would come here
Reiterating the desire for assurance that our situation is not dire.
And tell me that we're not dying here
Emphasizing the need for confirmation that we are not on the brink of collapse.
I'm sure that we all want to blow
There's a collective desire to break free or rebel.
And I said that's what we ought to do
Advocating for a collective rebellion against the current state of affairs.
I'm sure that we all want to change it all
We all desire a comprehensive change in our circumstances.
That's why I'm coming to you
Expressing the intention to approach others for support in making change happen.
I'm sure that you all want to know
Assuming a shared desire for understanding or insight.
I'm sure you all want to blow
Presuming a collective inclination towards rebellion.
I'm enslaved by the weekdays
A repetition of feeling enslaved specifically by weekdays.
By their names Monday and Friday
Reiteration of the impact of Monday and Friday on one's sense of enslavement.
I'm enslaved by the words we say
The words we use contribute to the feeling of being enslaved.
Every little sentence turns me into a slave
Every spoken sentence adds to the sense of being a slave to communication.
And I wish that you would come here
Expressing the desire for reassurance about the overall well-being of the community.
And tell me that we're all doing fine
Reiterating the wish for confirmation that everyone is doing well.
And I wish that you would come here
Expressing the desire for assurance that mental stability is maintained.
And tell me that we're not losing our minds
Reiteration of the need for confirmation that collective sanity is intact.
I'm sure that we all want to blow
Reiterating the collective desire for rebellion or change.
And I said that's what we ought to do
Re-emphasizing the advocacy for a collective uprising or resistance.
I'm sure that we all want to change it all
Restating the collective wish for a complete transformation of the current situation.
That's why I'm coming to you
Underlining the intention to seek support in making significant changes.
I'm sure that we all want to know
Presuming a collective curiosity or eagerness to understand.
I'm sure you all want to blow
Presuming a shared inclination toward rebellion or resistance.
I'm a slave
A straightforward declaration of being a slave, possibly emphasizing the pervasiveness of the feeling.
