Out of Control
14 North Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And your empty alibies
The selfish die alone
Ill tear off your disguise
See the face you try to hide
Buried on your throne
I don't wanna fake it I don't wanna chase it
Out of control but you keep on fighting it
Down in a whole but you keep on digging it
All that I know is that you're out of control
With nowhere to go yeah the selfish die alone
I think of cutting ties
But then I realize
I'd be stuck here on my own
The lyrics of "Out of Control" by 14 North depict the singer's frustration with someone who has been lying and putting on a façade. The opening line, "I'm sick of all your lies and your empty alibies," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is done with being deceived time and time again by this person, and no longer wants to be a part of their inner circle.
The second stanza delves deeper into the theme of deception as the singer states, "The selfish die alone I'll tear off your disguise / see the face you try to hide." The person the singer is addressing is putting on a front and not showing their true self. The singer is determined to tear down this façade and show the world who they truly are.
The chorus of the song goes on to state that the person in question is out of control and that they're digging themselves into a deeper hole as they continue to fight against something that they cannot control. The singer clearly states that they have no intention of faking or chasing anything, they just want to light the match and let go.
Overall, the lyrics of "Out of Control" showcase the singer's determination to distance themselves from someone who has been less than truthful with them. The harsh reality that the 'selfish die alone' is a warning to the person in question that they need to quickly learn to be true to themselves and those around them in order to form genuine relationships.
