Control It

this is my personal favorite off of shadow zone. To me, there isn't a specific theme in this song, but there are a lot of good points: one being that we should think for ourselves and stop listening to lies other people tell us and take control of ourselves.

THIS IS THE BEST SONG STATIC X HAS EVER MADE. THE LYRICS IS HARD TO UNDERSTAND BUT HAS THE BEST MUSIC IN IT

not really...

Mild chorus correction.

Life - you take it Lies - you Fake it Suffer - It in me Torn - you break it Life - control it Lies - withhold it Suffer - you're skinny Torn - you're wasted

I know most people who are into Static X are likely to be all round metal heads, and not in the least bit open minded about music...eventhough they'll stick to the fact that they are, but anyway...I foudn that you can do the melbourne shuffle hardcore style to this song, and it's actually freaking awesome!! I think I just discovered a link between industrial metal and rave/hardstyle!! Wooot!

Hey, I think the lyrics are right as posted, I think he does say "within me." Oh and about the song, heres a weird thought that occurred to me one day. It might be about a person with a deadly disease (cancer seems most fitting) since he refers to sickness, defects, being skinny and wasted and how something takes the life out of you: Life - you take it: self explanatory Lies - you fake it: the doctors/family trying to mitigate the seriousness of your condition to comfort you Suffer - within me: the suffering cancer causes and how it stems from inside the patient and normally not an outside cause (except lung cancer and mesothelioma which are usually caused by smoking and asbestos exposure) Torn - you break it: refers to how cancer treatment basically "tears" you apart in order to "break it" and beat the disease Life - control it: for your life to resume, you must control the cancer Lies - withhold it: "give it to me straight doc" Suffer - you're skinny; Torn - you're wasted: self explanatory, you suffer, youre skinny and wasted from treatment etc... Well im rambling (mainly because this song is awesome and i love to analyze it) but the lyrics in this song seem to support my theory so im only going to interpret the chorus. Disclaimer: this is a very unconventional way of interpreting this song and i must add i posted this theory just to get the readers to think outside the box for shits and giggles, I personally think this is one of those songs that's open to interpretation from the listener. But for the record my theory is pretty well-supported, is it not. Awesome tune, one of Static-X's best, even though I LOVE all their music and this band is probably my favorite metal/evil disco group.
