Not My Slave Lyrics

Cover art for Not My Slave lyrics by Oingo Boingo

i think its about two people in love.

he's saying you belong to me as a life partner but you'r not my slave. i wont ask you to worship me, i wont keep you in a cage. you are your own person and i belong to you too, as a life partner. we belong to each other but give each other the air and freedom humans need to be happy.

he's basically saying "i dont follow those rediculous sexist beliefs that you have to succumb to me and crap". he's saying you're a human being and i love you and want you to be free.

I see it as going even a little further - he's not making a casual declaration, these are for some important occasion, they're vows.
