Under Control
Accessory Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Deep inside me
There is another one
Opposite of me
I'm really not your mouthpiece

A horrible face
Come out when it want
Take me under control

Rip the sins off the soul

While you have looked away
And couldn't give me shelter
And couldn't give me shelter
While you have looked away
And couldn't give me shelter
Of my own flesh and blood

Devourer of me
Get out of my heart
I'm really not like you
With your dark thoughts

I want to break out
Of this terrible cage
Let me get out of here
Deliver me from all this misery

While you have looked away
And couldn't give me shelter
And couldn't give me shelter
While you have looked away
And couldn't give me shelter
Of my own flesh and blood

While you have looked away
And couldn't give me shelter
And couldn't give me shelter
While you have looked away

And couldn't give me shelter
Of my own flesh and blood

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Accessory’s song, Under Control, are focused on self-reflection and the internal struggle that one goes through in dealing with their own dark thoughts and behaviors. The opening lines, “Deep inside me there is another one, opposite of me, I’m really not your mouthpiece”, suggest that there is a side to the singer that is not necessarily the image that they project to others. This other side, which could be described as the singer’s true self, embodies their darker thoughts and impulses.

The lyrics go on to describe how this darker side seems to take control, which is reflected in the lines, “A horrible face come out when it want, take me under control, rip the sins off the soul”. It is almost as if the singer is at the mercy of this other side and has become subservient to it. However, the singer seems to want to break free from this control, crying out, “I want to break out of this terrible cage, let me get out of here, deliver me from all this misery”.

The chorus emphasizes the idea of not receiving shelter or support from someone who is supposed to be family, as seen in the line, “While you have looked away and couldn’t give me shelter of my own flesh and blood”. It is unclear who this family member might be, but it is suggested that they have failed to provide the emotional support needed to help the singer overcome their internal struggle.

Line by Line Meaning

Deep inside me
Within me, there exists something hidden

There is another one
This hidden inside me is different from my outward self

Opposite of me
This hidden self is the opposite of my conscious self

I'm really not your mouthpiece
I am not a vessel for your thoughts and desires

A horrible face
An ugly and unwanted aspect of myself

Come out when it want
Emerges when it chooses to

Take me under control
Exerts power and control over my actions and thoughts

Rip the sins off the soul
Relieve me of my burdens and guilt

While you have looked away
During the time you were not paying attention

And couldn't give me shelter
Unable to protect me from my inner turmoil

Of my own flesh and blood
From my own family and relatives
