Slave To Love

Kidburn's 'Slave To Love' delves into the intoxicating and often overwhelming nature of love. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person who is deeply ensnared by their emotions, unable to break free from the powerful grip of love. The opening lines set a melancholic tone, with the protagonist waiting in a familiar place, surrounded by the 'tired and weary,' suggesting a sense of resignation and inevitability. This imagery highlights the universal struggle of love, where even the strongest and wealthiest can find themselves vulnerable and powerless.

The chorus, repeating the phrase 'Slave to love,' emphasizes the inescapable nature of these feelings. The metaphor of being a 'slave' suggests a lack of control and autonomy, where love dictates one's actions and emotions. The lyrics 'You're running with me, don't touch the ground' and 'We're restless hearted, not the chained and bound' contrast the idea of freedom with the reality of being bound by love. This juxtaposition underscores the paradox of love, where it can feel liberating yet confining at the same time.

As the song progresses, the imagery of a burning sky and a sea of flame reflects the intensity and passion of love, while also hinting at its potential for destruction. The lines 'We're too young to reason, too grown up to dream' capture the confusion and complexity of love, especially when it defies logic and reason. Despite the changing world around them, the protagonist remains steadfast in their devotion, unable to escape the chains of love. Kidburn's evocative lyrics and emotive delivery make 'Slave To Love' a poignant exploration of the powerful and often contradictory nature of love.
