NO CONTROL
Bullet for My Valentine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I scream into your face until
My veins are bursting through
Prisoners now live with no excuse
Its goes
I won't leave I can take control
Control
But it won't stop cause I have no control
It comes down, don't take my name
Its holds it holds
It holds me down
I stared into your eyes
I stared into your eyes until
The tears start to fall
With a sound to which can't ignore
Its goes
I won't leave I can take control
Control
But it won't stop cause I have no control
I have no control
It comes down, don't take my name
Its holds it holds
It holds me down
It comes down, don't take my name
Its holds it hold me down
You see your way its the only way to be
You see your way its the only way to be
The only way to be!
It comes down, don't take my name
Its holds it hold me down
It comes down, don't take my name
Its holds it hold me down
I have no control
I have no control
Oh!
The lyrics to Bullet for My Valentine's song No Control are emotionally charged and seem to be about a situation where the singer is struggling to maintain power over their own life, possibly due to the influence or control of someone else. The opening lines "I scream into your face until my veins are bursting through" suggest that the singer is frustrated and angry, perhaps trying to assert themselves but feeling like they are not being heard. The line "Prisoners now live with no excuse" could mean that the singer feels trapped in their current situation and unable to make any changes, despite not having any valid reasons for their lack of control.
The chorus of the song asserts the singer's desire to take control of their life, yet the repetition of the line "But it won't stop cause I have no control" suggests a growing sense of hopelessness and despair. The line "It holds me down" is repeated several times, emphasizing the feeling of being trapped and unable to escape. The final few lines of the song ("You see your way its the only way to be / The only way to be!") could be interpreted as the singer feeling like they are being forced to conform to someone else's expectations or ideals, unable to express their own individuality or make their own choices.
Overall, the lyrics to No Control are powerful and emotionally charged, expressing frustration and a sense of powerlessness that many listeners may be able to relate to. The repetition of certain lines and phrases throughout the song creates a sense of urgency and desperation, underscoring the message of the lyrics.

I scream into your face
I passionately express myself, shouting into your face
I scream into your face until
I continue to shout at you until
My veins are bursting through
My emotional intensity is overwhelming
Prisoners now live with no excuse
People are trapped with no justification
Its goes
The following lyrics are
I won't leave I can take control
I refuse to give up and am able to seize authority
Control
The power to govern or oversee
But it won't stop cause I have no control
Despite my desire for control, I lack the ability to stop the situation
I have no control
I cannot govern or manage the events unfolding
It comes down, don't take my name
The pressure is mounting, but don't blame me
Its holds it holds
The force is powerful and binding
It holds me down
I am being restrained and limited
I stared into your eyes
I looked deeply into your soul
I stared into your eyes until
I gazed fixedly at you until
The tears start to fall
Emotion overwhelmed me and tears sprang forth
With a sound to which can't ignore
My display of emotion was impossible to dismiss
You see your way its the only way to be
Your perspective is the sole way to exist
The only way to be!
There is no other way to live
I have no control
I lack the power to influence the situation
I have no control
I am powerless to direct the course of events
Oh!
An exclamation of frustration or despair
