Who is the master? Who is the slave?

Treat me like a curse
And tell me I'm your savior
I'll never know the stranger
I used to know so well
Waiting for your answer
Is a kind of torture
Could I grow accustomed to this kind of hell?

Are you walking the dog, 'cause that dog isn't new
Are you out of control, is that dog walking you
Haven't you had enough, now your time is up
Baby show me your hand

Voices start to ring in your head
Tell me what do they say
Distant echoes from another time
Start to creep in your brain
So you're playing 'round, like it's on rewind
You blew it so often that you start to believe it
You have demons so nobody can blame you
But who is the master and who is the slave?

First you say you love me
Then you wanna leave me
Then you say you're sorry
You play the game so well
I bought your illusion
You're the greatest salesman
How could I refuse you
When you sold it to yourself

Are you walking the dog, 'cause that dog isn't new
Are you out of control, is that dog walking you
Haven't you had enough, now your time is up
Baby show me your hand

Voices start to ring in your head
Tell me what do they say
Distant echoes from another time
Start to creep in your brain
So you're playing 'round, like it's on rewind
You blew it so often that you start to believe it
You have demons so nobody can blame you
But who is the master and who is the slave?

    My Interpretation

    Voices can be about many situations in Madonna's life-the end of Rabbit/Warner, the music industry, Radio, Guy Ritchie, her brother Christopher who wrote the shameful tell-all book about her and it's also about her father because in the end, Madonna misses her mother-That's a Fact! She's the one-Madonna herself-that is calling all the shots this time! No one's going to stop her Rebel Heart and Brave Soul! No one is gonna tell her what to do or how to be anymore! Madonna is a Bad Mer Girl who will Live to Tell, Take a Bow and be a Ray of Light because she is her own Masterpiece!
