Out of Control
Bulletrain Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you see the signs on me
My eyes scream misery
I can't be the one I want
It feeds my insanity
Lock me up before I rage
Your blood my victory
Doctors help won't make me see
It must be you, blameless me
My blood is boiling hot
I feel it grow and it drives me

(Out of control)
Flashing red lights
Shooting through my brain
(Out of control)
Rushing through life
Like a bull in rage
(Out of control)

Tie me down and test my desire
Precious games of bad behavior
Turn around girl 'cause you turn me off
You're bat shit crazy now get out of my home
My eyes are turning black
I feel it grow and it drives me

(Out of control)
Flashing red lights
Shooting through my brain
(Out of control)
Rushing through life
Like a bull in rage
(Out of control)
Flashing red lights
Shooting through my brain
(Out of control)
Rushing through life
Like a bull in rage

I don't want to hear from you
I don't want to see you again

I got this urge to kill
But I'm not the man to do it
The truth hurts and I'm not the one to blame
No, no, no, no, no, no, no

Flashing red lights
Shooting through my brain
(Out of control)
Rushing through life
Like a bull in rage
(Out of control)
Flashing red lights
Shooting through my brain
(Out of control)




Rushing through life
Like a bull in rage

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bulletrain's song "Out Of Control" depict a sense of inner turmoil and a struggle for control. The opening lines suggest that the singer feels trapped and plagued by signs of distress and misery. The phrase "I can't be the one I want" indicates a disconnection between who the person desires to be and their current state of mind. This internal conflict is feeding their feelings of insanity.


The mention of being locked up before raging and the reference to blood as a victory suggests a potential violent side that the singer fears they cannot control. They feel that even doctors' help won't be enough to make them see another perspective. The line "It must be you, blameless me" implies a sense of projecting their frustrations onto others while viewing themselves as blameless.


The repeated refrain of "Out of control" and the imagery of flashing red lights shooting through the brain symbolize a frenzied state of mind. It seems as though the singer is rushing through life, unable to find stability or calmness. The comparison to a raging bull further emphasizes their lack of control and the potential for destructive behavior.


The second verse brings in themes of desire, bad behavior, and a frustration with a particular person. The line "Turn around girl 'cause you turn me off" suggests that the singer is repelled by someone who may be exhibiting similar erratic behavior. They express a sense of being overwhelmed and describe their eyes turning black, which could suggest a loss of humanity or an immersion in darkness.


In the final verse, the lyrics hint at violent tendencies but disavow the singer's capability to act upon them. They disclaim any responsibility for the truth that hurts, suggesting a sense of victimhood. The chorus repeats, solidifying the notion of being out of control and rushing through life akin to a raging bull.


Overall, "Out of Control" captures the struggles of an individual battling inner demons. It explores the themes of frustration, a lack of control, and the desire to break free from the constraints of their own mind. The song's intense energy and vivid imagery serve as a metaphor for the chaos that can consume someone when they feel helpless and overwhelmed.

Its nice to see real rock making a comeback.  I was afraid it was gonna end with my beloved 80s bands........

Justin Wilkins

@***** Yep Bulletrain is an awesome band. Very similar to Skid Row with a harder edge. I received my Cd copy on release day. They formed in 2006 & released I believe a couple of ep's, then the original vocalist left the band & one of the guitarist's just before they were going to be signed to AOR Heaven's record label. I think Sebastian Sunberg is a better vocalist for this band though then the previous.
