Lose Control
ÒÁ·²Èû˹evanescence Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
(Just to lose control, just once)
Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
(Just to lose control, just once)
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there will be nothing good left of you
Just to lose control, just once
In the song "Lose Control" by Evanescence, the singer is trying to escape reality and the constraints of her mundane life. She doesn't care if the people around her don't remember her name or if they judge her for her actions; all she wants to do is play the game her own way and lose control. She desires to experience something new and exciting, a feeling she feels she has been lacking in her life. The reference to "pretty flowers in the dust" suggests that the singer wants to find beauty in unexpected places and escape from the monotony of her environment.
The next verse includes a reference to the nursery rhyme "Mary had a little lamb" but with a dark twist. The lamb's eyes are black as coals, which adds a sinister tone to the nursery rhyme. The singer uses this imagery to create a secret world with another person (represented by the lamb), where they can escape reality together without anyone else knowing. The repetition of the line "just to lose control, just once" emphasizes the singer's desire to break free and experience something new.
Overall, "Lose Control" is a song about wanting to escape reality and experience something beyond the constraints of everyday life. The lyrics use dark imagery to convey a sense of mystery and danger, highlighting the singer's desire for something exciting and unexpected.
