“Enslaved” touches on the metaphor of being stuck in the “matrix” before an awakening. The song speaks of being trapped by outdated paradigms and limiting beliefs that keep us from embodying our authentic selves, feeling inner peace, and following the guidance of our soul.
Trapped by a puzzle of lies
Of distorted realities
She carries on her life
Functions robotically
Sculpted by the creators
Of this stagnant society
She wonders why she never feels
That she’s truly happy
‘Cause she’s enslaved by the mind games
But is too afraid to find
That the cause of this great dissonance
Is the way she lives her life
Working for the man
Letting society judge what’s right
Never once knowing how
To fill her soul with light
So she spends her days
Pleasing people who’s love she desires
Never to know she’s whole on her own
Because we’ve been hardwired
Enchanted by a black mirror
Of a false truth they’ve conspired
Blindly buying pretty things
To veil a world on fire
‘Cause she’s enslaved by the mind games
But is too afraid to find
That the cause of this great dissonance
Is the way she lives her life
Working for the man
Letting society judge what’s right
Never once knowing how
To fill her soul with light
Fill her soul with
Light
Light
Light
Fill her soul with
Light
Light
Never once knowing how to fill her soul with light
Fill her soul with light
Fill your soul with light
