I love love love this song. I'm kind of hoping to understand the "slaves are on the horses, princes walk the ground like they're slaves" thing, as well. I think perhaps it's referring to how people who are dependent on their lovers (slaves) are treated like royalty while the ones providing for all of their happiness (princes) suffer for it and go unappreciated (as a slave's labor would be)? Just a guess.
