Dedicated to those who are trapped in misery, the song is quoted with various lines of Flannery O’Connor’s novel themes of one’s path to freedom. The violent symbolism is to raise awareness to those who intentionally inflict pain, in a sense those who have become a slave of it- justice will prevail. Its time to break the chains and get rid of the bloody headache of abuse, I’m not your slave any longer.
lyrics
Unchained
Intro:
Leave my head, I wanna go, your in me x2
Your satisfied but now
I’m broken crushed about
You think you get away, but how about
Pre-chorus:
I hold your head
Blast your brains
Show you all the love from my pain
Twist your arm, crush your bones
Chorus:
I trip you down
I cut your throat
Drown you all and baptize you
Let the violent bare it away
Away away, I’m not your slave
Slave no more
Bridge:
Swing low, sweet chariot, coming forth to carry me home (x2)
Pre-chorus:
I hold your head
Blast your brains
Show you all the love from my pain
Twist your arm, crush your bones
Chorus:
I trip you down
I cut your throat
Drown you all and baptize you
Let the violent bare it away
Away away, I’m not your slave
Slave no more
Outro: I’m not your slave
