No Control
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Ooh, ooh)
Stained coffee cup
Just a fingerprint of lipstick's not enough
Sweet (ooh), where you lay (ooh)
Still a trace of innocence on the pillow case
Waking up
Beside you, I'm my loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours, I've got no control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care, it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
(Ooh)
Oh, oh, oh
(Ooh)
The taste on my tongue
I don't want to wash away the night before
In the heat (ooh), where you laid (ooh)
I could stay right here and burn in it all day
Waking up
Beside you, I'm my loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours, I've got no control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care, it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
Lost my senses
I'm defenseless
Her perfume's holding me ransom
Sweet and sour
Heart devoured
Lying here, I count the hours
Waking up
Beside you, I'm my loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours, I got no control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care, it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
Oh, oh, oh
No control
Oh, oh, oh
No control
Powerless
And I don't care, it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
The lyrics to the song No Control by One Direction depict a passionate, intense and slightly dangerous love affair between two individuals. The first verse implies that the singer and his lover have just woken up together with traces of their previous encounter scattered around them. The singer describes himself as a loaded gun, suggesting that his desire for his lover is so strong that he feels he cannot contain it any longer. He has no control over his feelings and is willing to give himself completely to his lover no matter what the consequences may be. The chorus "No control, powerless, and I don't care it's obvious, I just can't get enough of you" speaks volumes about the intensity of the singer's attraction to his lover, as he admits to feeling powerless against his desires for her. The second verse continues with the theme of the singer's lover having a hold over him. The taste of her on his tongue makes him long for her more, and he admits to wanting to stay in that moment forever. The bridge and final chorus reinforce the idea that the singer's desire for his lover is all-consuming and he cannot resist her, even if that means losing control.

Stained coffee cup
Remnants of past love still linger
Just a fingerprint of lipstick's not enough
Even an intimate encounter cannot quell the desire
Sweet (ooh), where you lay (ooh)
Thinking about the alluring memory of being with the loved one
Still a trace of innocence on the pillow case
Trying to hold on to the purity of the relationship, even in lustful thoughts
Waking up
Becoming aware of the situation
Beside you, I'm my loaded gun
Being on edge and ready to act impulsively
I can't contain this anymore
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions
I'm all yours, I've got no control
Giving in completely to the loved one
No control
Helplessness in the grip of desire
Powerless
Being at the mercy of the loved one
And I don't care, it's obvious
Being willing to suffer the consequences for the sake of love
I just can't get enough of you
Craving for the loved one constantly
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
Acting recklessly without thought of consequences
The taste on my tongue
Relishing in the memory of past encounters
I don't want to wash away the night before
Trying to keep the memory alive
In the heat (ooh), where you laid (ooh)
Thinking about the passion and intensity of past encounters
I could stay right here and burn in it all day
Willingness to bask in the warmth of emotions
Lost my senses
Becoming oblivious to everything else but the loved one
I'm defenseless
Unable to resist the loved one's advances
Her perfume's holding me ransom
Being captivated by the loved one's scent
Sweet and sour
Feeling a mix of emotions towards the loved one
Heart devoured
Being completely consumed by love
Lying here, I count the hours
Anticipating the next encounter with the loved one

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Hello, directioner.
As we all know, One direction 10th anniversary is coming up around 3-4 months now. Fan projects are being conducted to take Drag Me Down and Story Of My Life to 1 Billion views as an effort from our side to show the boys that we Directioner are still happily and eagerly waiting for them. The target is to achieve 1 Billion by the time of the 10th anniversary. But at this rate, getting 1 Billion is not possible. So we need to pull our sock and gear up at the moment. Moreover, lockdowns and quarantines are going in almost all parts of the world, so we won't have time management problems as well.
After thorough research, I have come up with some points regarding what should be an effective way of getting more view counts to achieve the target.
1. Don't depend on autostart. When a video plays without the initiation of the user, youtube doesn't count those videos.
2. Don't make spam comments or use watch bots.
3. Don't get fooled by the thought that you can stream a video for hours and give more views. Youtube doesn't count more than 5 views from a certain user in a day.
4. You don't have to watch the whole video to get a view. You just need to stream up to 40 seconds of 1 video each.
5. Avoid multiple windows and continuous refreshing while streaming.
Special note: Remember to only stream the official video at the moment.
So now here is the actual plan:
We will stream the first 40-50 second of both Drag Me Down and Story Of My Life alternatively for 5 times in a day. Trough calculation, the result says that we need 300.000 [Three hundred thousand] people to do this streaming every day to get Drag Me Down 1billion. Streaming 40 seconds of two songs 5 times a day takes up a maximum of 7 minutes per person.
The difficult part of this isn't streaming. It hardly takes 5-10 minutes per day. The actual work is spreading the word. This message has to reach +300.000 people and +300.000 HAVE TO STRICTLY follow this streaming pattern to take drag me down to 1billion before 23rd July 2020.
