Under Control
[muzmo.ru] Alesso and Calvin Harris feat. Theo Hurts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you'll never know

When the daylight comes you feel so cold
You know
I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go

Waiting for the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
Be the one that makes tonight
'Cause freedom is a lonely road
We're under control

We're under control

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you'll never know

When the daylight comes you feel so cold
You know
I'm too afraid of my heart to let you go

Waiting for the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
Be the one that makes tonight
'Cause freedom is a lonely road
We're under control

Waiting for the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
Be the one that makes tonight
'Cause freedom is a lonely road
We're under control





We're under control

Overall Meaning

The song "Under Control" by Alesso and Calvin Harris featuring Theo Hurts is a lyrical representation of the uncertainty and fear that come with falling in love, and the desperate desire to hold onto that love despite the potential consequences. The opening lines "I might be anyone, a lone fool out in the sun" allude to the idea of hiding one's true identity and vulnerability to protect oneself from the potential pain that comes with love. However, the next line "Your heartbeat of solid gold, I love you, you'll never know" reveals that the singer has found someone worth risking their heart for, and expresses their love for them, despite the fear.


The chorus, "Waiting for the fire to light, feeling like we could do right, be the one that makes tonight, 'cause freedom is a lonely road, we're under control" illustrates the internal conflict of wanting to let go and fully embrace love, but being held back by the fear and uncertainty. The desire to be in control of one's emotions and the situation is hinted at in the repeated phrase "we're under control."


Overall, the song reveals the complexities of falling in love, the battle between risk and reward, and the desire to find a balance between the two.

The 2011-2015 period were the golden era of EDM. Lots and lots of quality electronic songs week after week.

The era was ignited by the Swedish DJ's like Avicci, Axwell, ingrosso etc.. their songs started to get huge airplays in USA, thus started to take over the mainstream music, competed with pop music and at a point of time even mainstream pop music was losing to edm. That was the standard of these DJ's.

The era was dominated by mostly European producers like Avicci, Calvin Harris, Martin Garrix, Hardwell, Tiesto, Afrojack, Robin Schulz, Alesso, showteck, Nicky Romero and many other.

Avicci and Calvin Harris seemed like the flag bearers of the era with their many smash hits.

Swedish House Mafia dissolved before Axwell and ingrosso started making music as duo, they were also one of the key figures of the era.

Dutch DJ's Hardwell, Afrojack and Tiesto had huge success with their songs getting in to Billboard charts and New faces like Martin Garrix and Alesso were big hit from the very start and went on to become so huge by the end of the era.

Music festivals like Tomorrowland and ultra music festival became the biggest festivals of the decade which helped edm to become a culture worldwide and helped to regain its long lost glory.

House music was the king. Electro, progressive, bigroom, deep and tropical house songs were all over the charts.

New artist kygo from Norway increased the legacy of the era by give great tropical house classics .kygos arrival was during the last year's of the golden age and continued his success past the era

The era also had great number of Drum n bass,Dubstep, hardstyle hits which showed the diversity of golden age.

The golden age came to an end when producers started featuring for mainstream pop artists for dance pop songs which have mostly a future bass or trap drop eg: Martin Garrix, Dimitri Vegas and chainsmokers whose new hits which were mostly future bass and trap which were well recieved .

The shift from the major house sound to the hip-hop trap, future bass kind of sound was evident. There were many good artists in these like chainsmokers but all producers somehow tried different styles which were not as catchy or impactful as their previous hits.
Still, Calvin Harris enjoyed success with club edm sound, kygo was becoming huge but the huge number in dutch and Swedish House songs declined and the industry was inclined towards a different sound

Mumble rap came in to scene and a horrific trap sound ruled the industry for some years . Only a few artists like Alan Walker, kygo and new artists like marshmelo was able to hit some sweet spot.

Marshmello sucsses proved that trap and future bass sounds are now the ruling sound of the industry during late 2010s .

But by then the golden age signature house sound faded away. If you ask a music critics of 2010 that what was the highlight of the decade, you most probably get the answer EDM

Definitely edm was the gamechanger ,an explosion in to the scene which wa predicted by many artists a long time ago, And the result was gold. The era gave great memories to music fans especially electronic music fans to cherish forever.

Hardcore edm fans believe that the era is not at all dead and it's in it's dormant stage and waiting for a huge comeback♥️ hope so😊
