Halsey – Control Lyrics 6 years ago
@[Why not?:25896]

Some people with MPD have radically different personalities, almost to the point where they nearly become a completely different person during a personality change. The 'real' version of herself is the one who is desperately trying to keep the other 'sides' under control, hence saying that she can't control herself.

The other side; the alternate persona, if you may; instead embraces this, seeming to thrive on others' pain and suffering.

I was actually 12 when I first posted the above (original theory (?)), and am now 14, so.

Halsey – Control Lyrics 7 years ago
I, personally, believe this song is about a person with multiple personality disorder.

In the lines "I can't help this awful energy" and "God damn right, you should be scared of me" it seems as if there are multiple 'people' speaking, with one being meaner, and the other try in counteract the more negative voice.

For the line,"Who is in control?" The person singing is questioning which 'person' is actually controlling themself.

Lastly, in these four lines, "I'm well acquainted with villains that live in my head, they beg me to write them so they'll never die when I'm dead. And I've grown familiar with villains that live in my head, they beg me to write them so I'll never die when I'm dead." The person is (possibly) keeping a sort of journal, or diary, that they write about this other personality. It may be that they are 'Immortalized' by being written down, and telling others about the 'Demons'. This especially rings with the "So I'll never die when I'm dead" as the person is talking about themself.

Well, that's just a theory. A song theory!
(Game theory reference aside, don't take this as the 'real' interpretation of the song, I'm merely a bored 12 year old, interpreting a song I like.)
