Chaos Control
Unveiling Night's Controlled Chaos
Lyrics
There's a few cars out at 2 o'clock, the limousine, me, and the patrol cop
Describing a scene with a few cars at 2 o'clock, including a limousine and a patrol cop.
Everything seems white in the middle of the night
Observing a predominantly white environment in the middle of the night.
Always get that feeling that things ain't quite right
Expressing a constant feeling that things are not quite right.
The man on the beach now he wants to start a fight
A man on the beach is inclined to start a fight.
Won't give him what he wants to feed the stereotype
Refusing to give in to the man's desires to avoid reinforcing stereotypes.
The man in the shop said it's all about hype
A shopkeeper suggesting that everything is driven by hype.
I just can't believe it
Expressing disbelief or astonishment at the situation.
It's just a little bit of chaos under quite a bit control
Describing a state of controlled chaos.
A little left of center been the only thing I know
Being slightly unconventional or deviating from the norm is the speaker's familiar territory.
Just a little bit of chaos under quite a bit control
Reiterating the theme of controlled chaos in the speaker's life.
It's such a large town to get so far
Commenting on the vastness of the town and the challenge of making progress.
Maybe I'm neurotic it just seems bizarre
Suggesting a sense of neuroticism and finding the situation strange.
Company cars compete speedin' up the concrete
Corporate culture and competition are speeding up on the concrete streets.
Earn a steady income and then become a deadbeat
Earning a steady income but ending up as a deadbeat.
Underneath the streetlight wait and watch the rat race
Observing the rat race under the streetlight.
Fellowman don't like ya, decides to put ya in your place
Facing opposition from fellowmen who want to put the speaker in their place.
Always runnin' scared 'cause you don't understand
Living in constant fear due to a lack of understanding.
No way for you to see it?
Questioning if there is a way for others to see the speaker's perspective.
Does it make you mad that we live this way
Asking if the unconventional lifestyle angers or upsets others.
Are you feeling rather frantic, did we ruin your day
Inquiring if others are feeling frantic or if the speaker's choices have disrupted their day.
Who heeds the voice of the generation that's ahead
Pondering who pays attention to the voice of the generation that is ahead.
To be slavin' like a servant I'll be better off dead
Rejecting the idea of being a servant and expressing a desire for a better existence.
Are you feeling rather frantic, gonna be okay?
Checking in on others, asking if they are coping with the chaos and if everything will be okay.
