Lose Control
ABK Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't stop, can't stop thinking
About you at all
I called you up to come on round tonight
You wouldn't give a straight answer
But you wouldn't say no
Even though you're going with him

Here comes the night

Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go

You arrive with cool in your eyes
And explain to me
How he makes you feel inside
So safe, secure
Later on as the night is falling
You bring me on with violent words
Desire and being young

Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go

Here comes the night, it is coming on
The lights are low and our records on

Inside your veins and you lead me on
Here comes the night, it is coming on

Overall Meaning

In ABK's song Lose Control, the singer is unable to stop thinking about someone he is interested in, who is already in a relationship with someone else. Despite this, he asks them to come over, and they do not say no, although they do not give a straight answer. When they arrive, they explain how their current partner makes them feel safe and secure, but as the night goes on, their desire for each other grows. The chorus "here comes the night, lead me on" suggests that they are both giving in to their desire, even though it is technically wrong.

The song explores themes of infidelity and temptation, as well as the confusion and desire that can arise in situations where there are conflicting emotions involved. The line "You arrive with cool in your eyes" suggests that the person the singer is interested in is trying to appear unaffected, although it is clear that they are also drawn to him. The tension between what they want and what they know they should do is palpable throughout the song, making it a compelling listen.
