Soul Slave Lyrics
[Intro]
Can't escape the blackness
[Verse]
Imagine living, breathing with no meaning
Bothered out of boredom, the reason for your being
What a masterpiece
Lo and behold, the egos grown so bold
As we grow old, the soul runs cold
I watched you fold, sold for silver and gold
Slaves to a phone, yet we're all so woke
[Chorus]
We're so happy, you're so edgy
Settled on sadness, so ready for the blackness
Self-made misery leaves you buried
Settled in sadness, you can't escape the blackness
[Bridge]
Cut out the tongue that speaks, swallow your misery
We have two eyes to look, but only one to see
Cut out the tongue that speaks, swallow your misery
We have two eyes to look, tell me what you see
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't escape the blackness
Can't escape the blackness
Can't escape the blackness
[Verse]
Imagine living, breathing with no meaning
Bothered out of boredom, the reason for your being
What a masterpiece
Lo and behold, the egos grown so bold
As we grow old, the soul runs cold
I watched you fold, sold for silver and gold
Slaves to a phone, yet we're all so woke
[Chorus]
We're so happy, you're so edgy
Settled on sadness, so ready for the blackness
Self-made misery leaves you buried
Settled in sadness, you can't escape the blackness
[Bridge]
Cut out the tongue that speaks, swallow your misery
We have two eyes to look, but only one to see
Cut out the tongue that speaks, swallow your misery
We have two eyes to look, tell me what you see
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't escape the blackness
Can't escape the blackness
[Chorus]
We're so happy, you're so edgy
Settled on sadness, so ready for the blackness
Self-made misery leaves you buried
Settled in sadness, you can't escape the blackness
[Outro]
You cannot, you cannot
You cannot escape it
You cannot, you cannot
You cannot escape it
We're so happy, you're so edgy
Settled on sadness, so ready for the blackness
Self-made misery leaves you buried
Settled in sadness, you can't escape the blackness
[Outro]
You cannot, you cannot
You cannot escape it
You cannot, you cannot
You cannot escape it

What did Chelsea Grin say about "Soul Slave"?
Genius Answer
Stephen Rutishauser:
This one’s observing the phenomenon of holier-than-thou people who claim some righteousness for themselves. ‘I’m the best. I’m as good as it gets. I’m as pure of heart and mind as it gets! But then you observe their actions, and a lot of times people like this have this inherent bloodthirst. They wish to see themselves on top of their opponents. They’d rather see people around them fall than focus on themselves internally. In trying to be the best, they might be the worst. But they paint themselves differently.
