Control
Celtic Woman/John Frusciante Lyrics

It's not the way I go
I'm not content with the direction my life is taking.

It's not the way I go
I'm dissatisfied with my current path and want to make a change.

No one here hears me
I feel like no one truly understands me or listens to what I have to say.

I'm sick of people knowing me
I'm tired of being defined by others' perceptions and expectations of me.

Life's confusing me
I feel lost and uncertain about my place in the world.

There's so much I don't see
I'm aware of my limited perspective and knowledge.

Something's controlling me
I feel like I'm being held back or manipulated by external forces beyond my control.

It's no way to live
I refuse to accept a life that feels stifling and unfulfilled.

I haven't got a thing to give
I feel like I have nothing of value to offer to others or the world.

And as those signs trad off
I'm unsure how to interpret the signs around me and what they might mean for my future.

I'm a line from loud to soft
I'm experiencing extremes of emotion and mood swings.

For what I have to say
I want my words and ideas to be heard and taken seriously.

I wanted to build a stage
I had ambitions and dreams of achieving success and recognition.

I wanted to feel this way
I long for the intense emotions and sensations that come with artistic expression and creativity.

All these things are real
My experiences and feelings are valid and genuine.

I don't know my own field
I lack a clear sense of purpose or direction in my life.

You will prove me wrong
I'm open to being challenged and changing my perspective if someone can offer me compelling evidence.

I don't know one
I'm unsure about my knowledge or expertise in a particular area.

I see now what I've got
I'm starting to appreciate the blessings and opportunities in my life.

It reveals just what it's not
Through self-reflection, I'm realizing what doesn't bring me fulfillment or purpose.

Someday I'll take it away
One day, I will break free from whatever is constraining me and find my own path.

There's nothing for me anyway
I'm feeling hopeless and defeated, like there's no point in trying to pursue my dreams.

Love don't choose me
I've had difficulty finding romantic or platonic connections with others despite my desire for them.

Wide don't see a thing
Despite my curiosity and eagerness to understand the world, I'm still struggling to make sense of things.

What I'm saying is now
I'm speaking my truth in this moment, but it might change as I continue to grow and learn.

I don't know what it's about
I'm confused or uncertain about the meaning or purpose behind a particular situation or experience in my life.

I wander through the dawn
I'm embarking on a new chapter of my life, full of potential and growth, but also uncertainty and risk.

So much goes on
There's a lot happening in my life, both internally and externally, and it can be overwhelming at times.

Who will make me run
I'm seeking motivation or inspiration to pursue my goals and dreams.

I admit I might be wrong
I'm humble enough to acknowledge that I don't have all the answers and may make mistakes along the way.

These letters shelter me now
Writing and self-expression provide me with a sense of comfort and refuge.

I wonder how
I'm curious and eager to explore new ideas and experiences, even if they challenge my preconceptions.
