Evanescence – Lose Control Lyrics 17 years ago
I see this as a song about sex and submission. This person she is with is dominant, she is submissive. He doesn't remember her name because it'd not important. They're playing a game (maybe some sort of BDSM game) and she's asking if she can just lose control by playing to his rules.

Maybe she's been held down all her life by society, by having to keep control all the time in and out of public, so she's saying it would be wonderful to just lose control and have someone else control her. All the pretty flowers in the dust may be her former self; the proper, delicate "flower"-like person she's leaving behind.

But in the end, she's actually using him to get what she wants, but in the process, she's corrupting him by placing him with her in this act.

"Mary and the Lamb" is the part where I'm convinced she's with a man who is married or with someone. So perhaps the man she is losing control with is taken.
