I Wanna Be Your Slave
Maneskin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be your slave, I wanna be your master
I wanna make your heartbeat run like rollercoasters
I wanna be a good boy, I wanna be a gangster
'Cause you could be the beauty and I could be the monster
I love you since this morning, not just for aesthetic
I wanna touch your body, so fucking electric
I know you're scared of me, you say that I'm too eccentric
I'm crying all my tears and that's fucking pathetic
I wanna make you hungry, then I wanna feed ya
I wanna paint your face like you're my Mona Lisa
I wanna be a champion, I wanna be a loser
I'll even be a clown 'cause I just wanna amuse ya
I wanna be your sex toy, I wanna be your teacher
I wanna be your sin, I wanna be your preacher
I wanna make you love me, then I wanna leave ya
'Cause, baby, I'm your David and you're my Goliath

Uh-huh
Mhm, uh-huh

Because I'm the devil who's searching for redemption
And I'm a lawyer who's searching for redemption
And I'm a killer who's searching for redemption
A motherfucking monster who's searching for redemption
And I'm a bad guy who's searching for redemption
And I'm a blonde girl who's searching for redemption
And I'm a freak that is searching for redemption
A motherfucking monster who's searching for redemption

I wanna be your slave, I wanna be your master
I wanna make your heartbeat run like rollercoasters
I wanna be a good boy, I wanna be a gangster
'Cause you can be the beauty and I could be the monster
I wanna make you quiet, I wanna make you nervous
I wanna set you free but I'm too fucking jealous
I wanna pull your strings like you're my Telecaster
And if you want to use me, I could be your puppet

'Cause I'm the devil who's searching for redemption
And I'm a lawyer who's searching for redemption
And I'm a killer who's searching for redemption
A motherfucking monster who's searching for redemption





I wanna be your slave, I wanna be your master

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Måneskin's song "I Wanna Be Your Slave" are an exploration of the complexities of a relationship, with the singer expressing a desire to both dominate and submit, to be both good and bad, and to experience a range of intense emotions with their partner. The opening line, "I wanna be your slave, I wanna be your master," captures this dynamic, suggesting a desire for both control and subjugation within the relationship. The singer goes on to express a desire to create intense physical sensations in their partner, stating, "I wanna make your heartbeat run like rollercoasters," and to simultaneously be both good and bad, saying, "I wanna be a good boy, I wanna be a gangster."


The singer also expresses a deep emotional attachment to their partner, saying, "I love you since this morning, not just for aesthetic," and a willingness to explore their partner's desires and fantasies, stating, "I wanna be your sex toy, I wanna be your teacher." Despite this deep connection, however, the singer also acknowledges a darker, more possessive impulse, saying, "I wanna make you quiet, I wanna make you nervous/I wanna set you free but I'm too fucking jealous." This ambivalence is captured in the repeated line, "Cause you could be the beauty and I could be the monster," which suggests an ongoing tension and power struggle between the two partners.


Overall, "I Wanna Be Your Slave" is a song that explores the complexity of human desire and the ways in which we both seek to possess and be possessed by those we love. It captures the intensity and emotional volatility of a passionate relationship, and speaks to the ways in which we can both uplift and destroy one another.
