In Command
Dead Stop Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You think i'm a doll / and you pull the strings / you think i'm a
Whore / i'll play when you pay / you think you are god / but you've missed one thing /
You're the one in command / i won't be lead by your hand / i don't need your
Thoughts controlling my life / your money and wealth is not what i strive / i don't want
Your respect / cause your mind is fucked / you're not the one in command / i won't be
Led by your hand / i'll have a mind of my own




Overall Meaning

Dead Stop's song In Command could be interpreted as a commentary on power dynamics and gender roles. The singer is addressing someone who thinks they have complete control over them, either due to their gender, financial status, or some other form of power imbalance. The singer asserts their independence and free will, refusing to let the other person's thoughts or actions dictate their life. They claim agency over themselves, declaring that they will not be led by the other person's hand.


The lyrics also suggest a rejection of societal norms and expectations. The singer is not looking for respect or validation from the other person, as they see their mind as "fucked" and therefore their opinions or beliefs as invalid. Instead, the singer is seeking autonomy and self-determination, refusing to be molded or controlled by external forces.


Overall, the song seems to be a defiant call to resist the pressures and influences that seek to shape or constrain us. It champions individuality and self-reliance, urging us to assert our own sense of identity and purpose.
