Lose Control
Courteeners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One or two things that would make the nurses on the ward turn blue
Rabbit in the headlights with no place else to go
Can you pinpoint the place where you lost control?
Where did you lose control?
Where did you lose control?
You looked amazing, radiant like the sun
I was hold up in the hall of holes hiding from everyone

Where did you lose control?
Where did you lose control?
Rabbit in the headlights with no place else to go
Can you pinpoint the place where you lost control?
Where did you lose control?
Where did you lose control?
The lyrics of Courteeners' song "Lose Control" describe a feeling of being lost, confused and overwhelmed. The singer is going through some heavy feelings and experiences that can even make the nurses on a hospital ward 'turn blue'. He is caught in a state of confusion, like a 'rabbit in the headlights', not knowing where to turn or what to do. The repetition of the question, "where did you lose control?" emphasizes the key theme of the song, which is exploring the moment when things went wrong and things spiraled out of control. The singer seems to be searching for answers, for someone or something to help guide him back to his grounded self.
The contrast between the singer's feelings of being lost and bewildered and the woman he refers to who 'looked amazing, radiant like the sun' creates an interesting dynamic. She seems to represent something positive and uplifting in the singer's life. Perhaps she or what she represents was the one thing that kept the singer grounded and focused, but he still finds it hard to communicate his feelings to her as he is 'hold up in the hall of holes hiding from everyone'.
Overall, the lyrics of "Lose Control" offer a poignant and honest exploration of the complexities of the human psyche and the struggle to find a sense of balance and purpose in life.
