Under Control
Awakening Sun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was like a fairytale but without a happy ending
We are just a part of game in someone's theatre
Being pulled with strings like a marionettes
We just want to live
We just want to breathe
We desire to be free
They, they have planned everything
We are in the box that has no escape
It doesn't matter on whose side you are
We're all Still doing one work
We just want to live
We just want to breathe
We desire to be free
'Cause we are under control
We are under control
Under control
We are under control
We are under...
The lyrics of Awakening Sun's song "Under Control" paint a picture of a world where life is portrayed as a dream, a mere illusion. It was once thought to be like a fairytale, where everything will have a happy ending, but that is not the case. The lyrics suggest that we are all puppets in someone’s theatre, being controlled by strings, and we are all under someone's control. The lyrics express a strong desire to be free, to live and breathe outside of the control someone else is trying to exert over them.
The chorus boldly asserts this desire to be free, highlighting that whoever has planned everything has placed us all in a box without any means of escape. The lyrics suggest that it doesn't matter whose side we are on, we are all still doing the same work, and we are all under control. The repetition of the phrase "under control" at the end of the song reinforces the idea that we need to break free and claim our independence.
