Control Lyrics

We will cheat you out of everything, that you would
We will sell you who you are
there are the choices that we already made
That we feel
Will suite you well

This is us selling you out, no
No one dares buy it

Don't stop, This is your life
theres no heart in the soul?
Stop telling to yourself that you want control.

Were fine enough, and depend on life, yea
Look our best sleep in
Close your eyes don't breathe to deep
Can you feel it (can you feel it?)
were watching your every move.

dont stop this is your life,
There's no heart in in soul,
Stop selling to yourself that you want control.
There is an order in which you'll grow on, (grow on)
And learn whose bossin' who
There is an order in which you mold, (mold)
In which you'll learn to soon

Close your eyes
Can you feel it, can you feel it?
Close your eyes
Can you feel it, can you feel it?

oh, this is us selling you out
no, no one dares buy it

Don't stop,
This is your life,
There's no heart in your soul,
Stop selling to yourself that you want control.

I can't, I can't breath outta line...

Song meaning: Control of course. This song says a lot. 20 years ago I thought it was about organized religion, government, illegitimate authority. All could be correct but now, I see it a little differently on an individual level. I am all too familiar with people trying to control. My interpretation is my own, how I feel it.

  1. Live the life you want to live, not the life someone told you to live, and is no smarter than you.
  2. Don’t buy into society’s BS otherwise you will become disposable by treating yourself as a finite product. I am personally not for sale and I have to make this very clear to certain people in life.
  3. Thee one and only thing we can control is finding out who we truly are, and what we are truly meant to become. No one is to tell us who we are, or what our purpose is, they don’t have that right, ignore that nonsense. Life is a trial and error process for most, but the answers will eventually come.

Let’s talk about this bridge. I picture it like a manager telling an employee there’s an ORDER (keyword), n that they’ll soon learn who’s the boss, like a subtle threat. Order is synonymous with Control. There is no specific order to grow on. We all have our own paths that we can find and create, mine doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.

The thing I love about these lyrics is that it never points the finger, bc a lot of us do this to ourselves. We buy in, maybe allow ourselves to be tamed, thinking we’re wild animals. We’re not. Maybe We don’t stand our ground, possibly from fear. And what is fear? I’ll skip the acronym. Fear is a product, a tool used for CONTROL.
