Control
Unraveling Inner Struggles: John Frusciante's "Control
Lyrics
It's not the way I go
Expressing dissatisfaction with the current path or direction taken.
It's not the way I go
Reiteration of discontent with the chosen path or direction.
No one here hears me
Feeling unheard or unnoticed by those around.
I'm sick of people knowing me
Frustration with being too well-known or understood by others.
Life's confusing me
Expressing confusion about life and its complexities.
There's so much I don't see
Acknowledging a lack of understanding, implying there's much left unknown.
Something's controlling me
Suggesting an external force or influence is affecting the speaker.
It's no way to live
Reflecting on the unsatisfactory nature of the current way of living.
I haven't got a thing to give
Expressing a sense of emptiness or lack of contribution.
And as those signs trad off
Not having valuable insights or possessions to offer.
I'm a line from loud to soft
Describing a shift from loud to soft, possibly indicating a change in demeanor or expression.
For what I have to say
Expressing a need to communicate despite challenges.
I wanted to build a stage
Desire to create a platform or space for personal expression.
I wanted to feel this way
Seeking a particular emotional state or experience.
All these things are real
Acknowledging the reality of certain experiences or emotions.
I don't know my own field
Uncertainty about one's own expertise or domain.
You will prove me wrong
Expecting to be proven wrong or challenged by others.
I don't know one
Admitting a lack of knowledge or understanding.
I see now what I've got
Realizing or understanding one's own situation.
It reveals just what it's not
Revelation about the true nature of a situation or circumstance.
Someday I'll take it away
Anticipation of removing or overcoming a burden in the future.
There's nothing for me anyway
Expressing a sense of futility or lack of purpose.
Love don't choose me
Feeling unchosen or rejected by love.
Wide don't see a thing
Perception of a limited or narrow perspective on things.
What I'm saying is now
Presenting a statement without clear understanding or certainty.
I don't know what it's about
Expressing confusion or lack of clarity about a particular subject.
I wander through the dawn
Wandering through a period of transition or uncertainty, possibly metaphorical dawn.
So much goes on
Acknowledging the complexity and busyness of life.
Who will make me run
Pondering who or what will motivate or drive the speaker.
I admit I might be wrong
Admitting the possibility of being mistaken or misguided.
These letters shelter me now
Letters providing comfort or solace in the speaker's current state.
I wonder how
Expressing curiosity about the future and its uncertainties.
