Out Of Control
Hoobastank Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've done everything as you say
I followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and its like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
(go)Where should go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cuz I don't know (do) if I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
I try to focus but everythings twisted
And all along I thought you would be there (thought you would be there)
So let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
(go)Where should go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cuz I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or the things you said to me

And I may never know
The answer to this endless mystery
(go) Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control

(go)Where should I go
(do) what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go) 'cause I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or all of the things you said to me
And I may never know the answer to this endless mystery

(go)Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me




I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hoobastank's song "Out of Control" tell the story of someone who has always followed the rules and done everything they were told to do. They believed that this would help them see things clearly and make their life easier, but instead, they are lost and confused. They are spinning out of control and can't seem to find their way. The song expresses their frustration at not being able to understand what is expected of them and whether or not they can trust the person giving them these instructions. They thought this person would be there for them, but in the end, they feel alone and abandoned. It is a powerful portrayal of the feeling of being lost and out of control, unable to find one's way.

I look around and it's like I'm blinded

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me

I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all along I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me

I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?

What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me

And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery

Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me

I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control

Early 00's pop punk was honestly some of the best music made in my lifetime. Sum 41, Hoobastank, Blink 182, Alien Ant Farm, all were great bands.
