“White Slavery” paints a tale of cocaine addiction through an especially doomed gothic metal song. As the first song on World Coming Down (besides the unserious fake glitch intro) it establishes a theme of addressing addiction that is continued into atmospheric tracks “Sinus,” “Liver,” and “Lung.”
White Slavery Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I make a call
So far to fall
Restless craving
Inundating
[Verse 2]
The summer snow
But it's not cold
Once it's tested
Thus infected
[Chorus]
I've lost myself again
I've lost myself again
It's a nightmare, but it's clear
It will end, but when?
[Bridge]
The break of day
I rot away
With every breath
I pray for death (Death)
[Chorus]
I've lost myself again
I've lost myself again
It's a nightmare, but it's clear
It will end, but when?
[Post-Chorus]
Let me say, Pepsi Generation
A few lines of misinformation
Watch your money, flow away, oh, so quick
To kill yourself properly, coke is it
[Chorus]
I've lost myself again
I've lost myself again
It's a nightmare, but it's clear
It will end, but when?
[Post-Chorus]
Let me say, Pepsi Generation
A few lines of misinformation
Watch your money, flow away, oh, so quick
To kill yourself properly, coke is it

What did Type O Negative say about "White Slavery"?
“[Cocaine addiction] is something that I could have potentially fallen into, I think. It’s more based upon… Actually, I have one cousin who got pretty messed up on that, and he’s never been the same ever since. It was really about him, more than anything.” – Peter Steele, Outburn, 2000.
