Out of Control
Out of Control: Embracing Chaos in the Dance of Life
Lyrics
Hot damn
Expressing excitement or surprise
Never dreamed a man could know such speed
Unexpectedly experiencing high speed or intensity
Never had a chance to fill my need
Never had the opportunity to fulfill a desire
It's just what I always wanted
Desire fulfilled, but with a sense of irony or unexpected consequences
To be the last of a dying breed
Being the last of a particular group or category
Said I thought I had my number down
Thought understanding oneself, but facing unexpected situations
I'd seen every scene to hit this town
Familiar with all situations in town
Looks like no one wants to tell you
No one warns about significant events
When something like this comes around
Unexpected occurrences
There they go, everyone's going
People leaving, possibly in a hurry
Everyone's gone this time
Reiteration of people leaving, emphasizing urgency
There they go, everyone's going
Continued emphasis on people leaving
Don't you get left behind
Warning not to be left behind
Looks like it's gonna explode
Sense of impending chaos or crisis
Looks like it's gonna explode
Reiteration of the imminent explosive situation
Looks like it's gonna go totally out of control
Anticipation of things going completely out of control
Look out
Alert to potential danger
I ain't never seen such chaos before
Describing unprecedented chaos
I ain't got no point of reference no more
Loss of a reference point, disorientation
And when I get my trip together
Planning to leave the chaotic situation
I'll be making a rush for the door
When ready, making a quick exit
Doesn't anybody here know the rules
Expressing confusion about the lack of order
Hasn't anybody gotten through school
Questioning the education or awareness of others
And the more I hear the answers
Increasing frustration with the information received
The more that I feel like a fool
Feeling foolish due to unsatisfactory answers
Here I go, everyone's going
Personal involvement in the chaotic situation
Everyone's gone this time
Reiteration of people leaving, personal involvement
Here I go, everyone's going
Continued emphasis on personal involvement
Don't you get left behind
Warning not to be left behind, personal urgency
I think I'm gonna explode
Intense emotional state, possibly explosive
I think I'm gonna explode
Reiteration of the imminent explosive situation
I think I'm gonna go totally out of control
Anticipation of losing control completely
