Control
Alex Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With every breath, I'm breathing you
I'm reaching out, but no one cares
Like a little boy, so unprepared
I've got to keep my feelings up above the ground
My body will explode if I don't scream it out
Wanna take my time, but the hands are yours
And they stay closed, behind your door
Oooh ooh left me feeling low
Oooh ooh now I'm taking control
Coz I'm a fighter
A heartbeat left in a cold war
Breaking out of my own thoughts
I will be the one in control
Coz this is my time
I'm standing on the front line
Body bleeding I'm so high
I will be the one in control
Ever felt the fear, that everything you do
Don't make no sense, even to you
And you're feeling tired, so you close your eyes
But it don't sleep, it burns inside
I've got to keep my feelings up above the ground
It's burning through my sole and I can't put it out
I want you to go, but you don't leave
So I guess you are, just a part of me
Oooh pooh left me feeling low
Oooh ooh now I'm taking control
Coz I'm a fighter
A heartbeat left in a cold war
Breaking out of my own thoughts
I will be the one in control
Coz this is my time
I'm standing on the front line
Body bleeding I'm so high
I will be the one in control
Coz I'm a fighter
I'm in control
Say it all
Say it all
Coz I just can't keep this to myself anymore
Coz I'm a fighter
A heartbeat left in a cold war
Breaking out of my own thoughts
I will be the one in control
Ooh this is my time
I'm standing on the front line
Body bleeding I'm so high
I will be the one in control
I will be the one in control
The lyrics of "Control" by Alex Adams explore themes of personal empowerment and standing up for oneself in the face of adversity. The song opens with Adams describing the struggle of feeling like he is never doing enough, as if every step forward requires two more. He feels like he is screaming out for help, but no one is listening, and that he is unprepared for the challenges he faces.
However, as the chorus kicks in, Adams declares that he is a fighter and that he is taking control of his life. Despite feeling like he is in a cold war within his own mind, he is breaking out of his own thoughts and standing on the front line. He acknowledges that he has fears and doubts, but he refuses to let them hold him back any longer. It is his time to shine, and he will be the one in control.
The bridge of the song further emphasizes Adams' determination, as he declares that he cannot keep his feelings to himself any longer. He is done with feeling alone and powerless, and he is ready to take action.
Overall, "Control" is a powerful anthem that urges listeners to take charge of their lives and not let their fears and doubts hold them back. It encourages self-empowerment, determination, and resilience.

When I make a step, you say make two
I feel like I can't satisfy you no matter how hard I try
With every breath, I'm breathing you
You consume me and control everything that I do
I'm reaching out, but no one cares
I feel alone and like nobody is willing to help me
Like a little boy, so unprepared
I feel vulnerable and like I'm not equipped to handle everything that's happening to me
I've got to keep my feelings up above the ground
I'm trying to stay positive and not let my emotions overwhelm me
My body will explode if I don't scream it out
I need to express my feelings or I feel like I will break down
Wanna take my time, but the hands are yours
I want to make decisions for myself, but I feel like you're controlling me
And they stay closed, behind your door
You're keeping me in the dark and not letting me have any control over the situation
Oooh ooh left me feeling low
I feel sad and defeated
Oooh ooh now I'm taking control
I'm finally taking charge of my life and my emotions
Coz I'm a fighter
I am resilient and strong
A heartbeat left in a cold war
I feel like I'm constantly fighting against you
Breaking out of my own thoughts
I'm trying to get out of my own head and take action
I will be the one in control
I'm determined to take charge of my life
Coz this is my time
I'm ready to take control and make things happen for myself
I'm standing on the front line
I'm ready to face my challenges head-on
Body bleeding I'm so high
I'm putting everything I have into this fight and it's taking a toll on me
Ever felt the fear, that everything you do
Have you ever felt like you're constantly second-guessing yourself?
Don't make no sense, even to you
It's like you can't even make sense of your own thoughts and actions
And you're feeling tired, so you close your eyes
You're exhausted and just want to shut everything out
But it don't sleep, it burns inside
Your thoughts and feelings are still active and causing you turmoil even when you're trying to rest
I want you to go, but you don't leave
I want to be free from your control, but it seems like you won't let me go
So I guess you are, just a part of me
I'm realizing that I'm the one holding myself back and need to take control
Say it all
I'm going to express everything that's been weighing on me
Coz I just can't keep this to myself anymore
I need to let everything out and take control of my life

@Kairu in Korea Very sad. Exactly the same situation. I saw him Supporting a Friends band in Portsmouth. Unbelievable live act. I hope he sees this, gets in touch and gets this tune back on social Media.
