Story Behind the Song
......yes, very far behind.....
Lyrics
Slave
oh desire-how you tire my wiring,
hiring a new ego to control you came at such a high cost,
I lost control of you at such a young age,
accordingly-the first page of my biography would probably read like this:
born into the abyss -of a misguided eyelid,
I did I could with what I had - not bad for a human-,
-being - a child growing up seeing only what I was supposed to,
too close to object(s) in the mirror so material seemed larger than life-,
-times of existence - my insistence on getting Nintendo -"a crescendo in my consumerism,"
a euphemism -always makes it seem better-
"a pirate with tunnel vision in search on an intangible treasure,
now it's not that desire's Bad- though a tad impressionable,
questionable - whether my youthful longings were even my own,
let it be known- the marketing campaign that claimed I'd be an individual-,
-is the same umbilical that fed the girth of corporations ego's,
I will no longer allow market society to affect my dialectical-,
-festival of free speech - preach your pertanence else-,
-where went the days when you had control over what your heart desired,
I'm so tired of questioning the truth value of my syllogisms,
be fore-warned - they can change wants into needs,
my heart still bleeds when I crave re-run radiation,
a fascinated fixation for the frivolous is my-grain(e)-
"-against all growth playing host to accumulative wealth,
mutilating self - a(past/pass)-time activity,
my ability to now see vividly is cause for concern,
the turning pages of my stages of development -display the evident,
that I've been a slave -most all my life.....
oh desire -how you tire my wiring,
hiring a new ego to control you came at such a high cost,
I lost control of you at such a young age,
(I reflect on life to see the world through the eyes of a slave)
(accordingly- the first page of biography would probably read like this....
"Been a slave most all my life..."
I chose to be a slave - though the name "Dave" chose me,
a holy transformation in to Vangel - hell to go through,
I'd show you the scars - but healing is a beautiful process-,
-now that objects of my interest lie in surplus self-investment,
how the present -wreaks of the past -I can still taste my last indulgence in a BigMac attack,
crap tasted better before I realized why shit stinks,
every defecation a translation of my will to will freedom-,
-from wanting - taunting myself with trivialities,
my reality -that of a fallacy you called Fortune,
"more than words"- the Extremely Bizarre Ride-that was my life-before I got the point-
-of reference - to sentence the superficial with dam(n)-,
-nations-inability to inform those born into slavery,
I know it pays to be a good worker - I once had disposable incom(e)-,
-ing wants - warping my willingness to stay focused,
while attempting to shed the skin of the slave-like serpent who this:
"Been a slave most all my life..."
