Controlled
After the Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You are not a test
And if there's a man
This goes percentage
Of all that we done ourselves
Going and is what you did
When we talk to asking for you
Thought we'd take you on
You will always be controlled




Overall Meaning

The lyrics to After the Fall's song Controlled are very abstract and open to interpretation. The overall theme of the song appears to be about control, either being in control or being controlled. The lines "You are not a test" and "You will always be controlled" suggest that the singer is addressing someone who is being controlled, perhaps by society or their own personal demons. The lines "This goes percentage" and "Of all that we done ourselves" could suggest that the singer is blaming the person for their own lack of control, or perhaps they are trying to rationalize their own controlling behavior.


The line "Going and is what you did" is somewhat confusing, but it could possibly refer to the person's desire to break free and control their own life. The singer then turns to addressing themselves, stating "Thought we'd take you on," possibly implying that they thought they could control the person, but now realize their mistake. Overall, the lyrics are quite cryptic and open-ended, but there is definitely a sense of internal struggle and the desire to break free from societal or personal control.

Any framerate dips in the video are just due to playing and recording content at the same time. I didn't notice any issues with framerate on Quest 2 when I wasn't recording []-)

The game is too barebones. Too many teammates disconnect. Too many dont talk on mic and dont stick together. Wish they made Arizona Sunshine 2 instead with updated graphics and more content.

If they keep adding content and supporting this game, It'll be one of the best VR games to date. The gunplay is satisfying and addictive, the maps are well done, and its a blast to play with other people.

This! I see the potential []-)

That enemy count is really impressive on the quest 2. That zombie jump attack animation got old crazy fast though.

I now own it, it's totally worth the scratch. That said that lunge is still stupid as fuck.
