Cover art for Slave lyrics by Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Think it's about being a slave to addiction.

"It eats your soul, like tears you fall, my slave"

"You steal, you heed the call, my slave" Stealing to feed the addiction.

"The keys, the keys are gone, my slave" Lost keys to apartment/house/car for addiction.

"You keep me, On the throne, Heads down all day" Makes me think more of a drug/alcohol addiction.
