Control
Alle Benassi Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been trying to breakout of the breakdown
Hoping to find a miracle in the meltdown
All the loving chaos that I'm surround
I dance dance to take me off the ground ground

I've been closing my eyes so I can see you
trying to make every other lover be you
Hoping that my fantasies will come true

I dance dance and pray that some of them do

Hey, yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion

Control is an illusion
Whoo
Control is an illusion

I can't own ya love
I can't own your love
I gotta let it go in the night sky
When I look above
When I look above
I see it shining, I'll feel so alive
Ready to let love back into my soul
In the beauty, in the music, it's time to lose control of control

Hey, yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion

Hey, yeah, lift my emotion
Tonight, my heart is open
Let go, there's no confusion
Control is an illusion

Control, control
Control, control
