Dance With Me
Control Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Find me some
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs

Find me some
Drugs, drugs, drugs, drugs

Prescription pills, Darvocet, Oxycontin, Mescaline
And a whole array of synthetic medicine
Crystal glass, Ketamine, Heroin, Cyanide dream
And a whole generation laughs

It's not the drugs that killed your mom
It's not the blade that raped your brother
A whole world is suffering
Can't be the love we lost as children
Can't be the price of a thousand prostitute graves
Nobody loves here, everybody hates

I will survive
Why are you dancing with the devil?
I will survive
When the sun sets down on my heart
When the sun sets down I?m a star
Why dance with the devil when you have me?

I feel so alone in a state of depression,
At an all time low.
Closed in, in deception
Where nobody would know

Lysergic acid, psycho active, Morphine, Coke, sodomy
At war with society (charge!)
Self-medication, Codeine supply, self-mutilation
Sex taught suicide
It's not the drug that killed my soul
Not the pain of losing blood
In a ghost town paid symphony
Can't be the love we lost as children
Can't be the price of fucking saving your skin

Yeah, nobody loves here, everybody hates
I will survive
Why are you dancing with the devil?
I will survive
Why are you dancing with the devil?
When the sun sets down on my heart
When the sun sets down I?m a star

I will survive
Why are you dancing with the devil?
I will survive
Why are you dancing with the devil?
When the sun sets down on my heart
When the sun sets down I?m a star
Why dance with the devil when you have me?

Mushrooms, crack
My mind is cracked
My mind is trapped
My spine is tapped
A little bit of lean,
Feels like I'm on Cyanide, Methamphetamines
Burned, churned
Nightmares, dreams,
Heaven, hell,
Help me, please
Screams, yells
Yearning, laughing
Anything could happen,
I feel so trapped in
Nobody loves me, everybody hates
Suicidal mind, stays slipping on a plate
Poison in my veins, no body cares
If I live, if I die
No reason to be here
Ease the pain, Vicodin to settle down,
Ought be going crazy
I got to settle in
I feel a little hazy




A little heroin, I close my eyes
Never to awake again.

Overall Meaning

The song Dance With Me by Control talks about drug addiction and its consequences. The lyrics describe someone who is desperately seeking drugs and mentions a long list of various drugs and their effects. The second verse talks about how addiction can make someone feel isolated and depressed. The chorus repeats the phrase "Why dance with the devil when you have me?" as the singer questions why someone would choose to continue using drugs despite the harm it causes.


The lyrics are a powerful commentary on the destructive nature of addiction and the lengths that people will go to in order to satisfy their cravings. The song suggests that addiction is not just about the drugs themselves, but also about the feelings of isolation and loneliness that often accompany it. The repeated phrase in the chorus, "Why dance with the devil when you have me?", could be interpreted as a plea for the addict to seek help and support from those around them rather than turning to drugs as a solution to their problems.


Overall, Dance With Me is a sobering reminder of the dangers of drug addiction and the importance of reaching out for help when struggling with substance abuse.

Having a bit of a 90s binge right now. I can't believe this is nearly 30 years old! Does that mean it's a classic?! I loved this when it was released and still love it now. I'm not sure my neighbours loved it...Oh well, I couldn't hear them banging on the walls over the sound of the music. Sorry neighbours!
