Control Lyrics

I reckon this song is about being yourself. And being completely real, not what anyone else wants you to be.

Basically it's saying. Give up the crappy covers and fronts, and be exactly who you want to be, and be damn proud of it too. Otherwise you'll only end up hating yourself for being a fake. ("Be what you are Do not keep it inside That hate will not subside")

"Believe that you are You'll feel so alive"

Is basically saying. Believe that your doing the right thing, and you'll feel bloody great that you are completely comfortable with yourself.

"Look past the mirror and find Look past the mirror That there's something inside Something more to your life"

This pretty much saying. You have to look past your outer appearance as it would appear in a mirror, and realise there's more to life than pretending to be something you're not, for attention or just to fit in.
