Control
Unraveling Desires: A Tale of Lost Control
Lyrics
Oh, the guilt in his eyes says it all
The guilt expressed in his eyes reveals everything.
He's lost control
He has lost control of a situation or himself.
And he's clinging to the nearest skirt in sight in fear
He is desperately seeking comfort from the nearest woman out of fear.
He's lost control
Reiteration of his loss of control.
And he's telling manga manga manga business wild
He is speaking incoherently and wildly about various matters.
He's lost control again
Another instance of him losing control.
And he's telling her all means of lies
He is telling lies to a woman.
Because he's lost control
Because of his loss of control, he resorts to deception.
He's lost control again
Repeated assertion of his loss of control.
He's lost control
Reiteration of the theme of losing control.
He's lost control again
Another instance of him losing control.
He's lost control
Emphasizing the recurring pattern of losing control.
And it used to feel small in his hands before
Reflection on a time when things felt manageable.
He lost control
How things used to fit and make sense before his loss of control.
How it used to all fit and make sense
Expressing the previous coherence and sense of life.
But then he lost control
But then he lost control, disrupting the harmony.
Now he's struggling not to crush her in his hold
Struggling not to harm the woman in his grasp due to his lack of control.
Oh, he's lost control again
Reaffirmation of his recurring loss of control.
But she loves too tough, too bold, and oh
The woman loves intensely, despite his loss of control.
She's lost control
Now, she has also lost control.
Oh, I had to phone her friends and state my case
The speaker had to explain to the woman's friends about his loss of control.
And say I lost control again
Reiterating the admission of losing control.
And they showed up all my errors and mistakes
Others pointed out his mistakes related to his loss of control.
And said I lost control again
Confirmation of others acknowledging his loss of control.
And they heard in how many different ways
Various ways in which he lost control were discussed.
I lost control again
Repeated realization of the speaker's loss of control.
I walked up on the edge of no escape, I cried
Describing a moment of being on the edge with no way to escape.
I lost control
Expressing the emotional turmoil associated with losing control.
He lost control again
Another individual is also experiencing a loss of control.
He lost control
Reiteration of the theme of losing control by the other person.
He lost control again
Confirming the other person's repeated loss of control.
He lost control
Emphasizing the recurring pattern of the other person's loss of control.
I could live a little better and commence the lies
The speaker reflects on the possibility of living better and avoiding lies.
When the darkness broke in, I broke down and cried
A moment of breakdown and tears when darkness encroaches.
I could live a little better and arrive alive
Contemplation on living better and ensuring survival.
When a change is gone, when an urge is gone
Reflecting on the absence of change and desire.
To lose control
The ultimate theme of the song: the desire or inevitability of losing control.
To lose control
Repetition of the central idea: the experience of losing control.
We lose control
Collective acknowledgment of the universal tendency to lose control.
To lose control
Reiteration of the common human experience of losing control.
