Under Control
Navigating Unraveled Paths: MJ Lenderman's Tale of Lost Control
Lyrics
I had it under control
I initially had the situation or circumstance under control.
I had it under control
Reiteration of having control over a situation or aspect of life.
And then it snowballed
Things started to escalate or go out of control.
Rolled and rolled and rolled
The situation intensified and continued to escalate rapidly.
And I don't have control anymore
I have lost control; the situation is no longer manageable.
Can't say I didn't know
I cannot deny that I was aware of the potential consequences.
But sometimes you get so alone
Despite knowing, sometimes one feels incredibly isolated or lonely.
I'd always seen the corner
I was aware of the impending difficulty or challenge.
And still I stubbed my toe
Despite knowing the risks, I still faced problems or setbacks.
I can't say I didn't know
Repeated acknowledgment of being aware of the situation.
Don't remind me
Request to not bring up or recall past events or mistakes.
Don't remind me
Reiteration of the desire not to be reminded of past mistakes.
What I already know
Emphasis on not wanting to be reminded of what is already known.
Don't remind me
Repetition of the request not to be reminded of past experiences.
Don't remind me
Continued emphasis on not wanting reminders of the past.
Don't remind me, I know
Strong assertion of already being aware of past mistakes or situations.
I got my wheels in the ditch
I am in a difficult situation, facing challenges or obstacles.
There's a word for this
There is a term or label for the current predicament.
For what used to scratch the itch
Referring to a solution or satisfaction that used to provide relief.
And then someday, it quit
At some point, that solution or satisfaction ceased to exist.
Ain't that a bitch
An expression of frustration or disappointment about the situation.
