This song kind of highlights the contradiction of control: control over oneself is pure love, but control over others is void of love. I think James is kind of speaking to the irony of the inescapable anger and hate that manifests in those who seek control over others. That is, people who seek control over others are fooled into the perception that controlling others is necessary for love, when the exact opposite is true. The desire to control others comes from a victim mindset, and only self-empowerment can bring love and peace.
