Very interesting to read the comments...I think the song is about obsession...when that magic of attraction occurs...two people caught up in a feeling that they can't escape (i.e. Slave to Love). It's that semi-dream like state of two people who are crazy about each other and can't stop thinking about one another...the lyrics and melody add to the strangeness and beauty of the song. I would contrast this, however, with love... a stable, reassuring sense of connectedness.
@mikey14 Yes, about the adrenaline-rush of falling in love. Can't sleep, can't eat, can't stop thinking about them. Beautiful song. I love how it starts dark, foreboding and inauspicious, then almost unexpectedly breaks into a delicious chord. Ferry's shaky and vulnerable voice is perfect.
