Lose Control
Evanescence (www.Harmonia.ir) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
(Just to lose control, just once)
Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
(Just to lose control, just once)
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there will be nothing good left of you
Just to lose control, just once
The lyrics of Lose Control by Evanescence [Up By Pablo89] are a mixture of different themes and emotions, making it an intriguing piece of music. The song speaks about a person who is willing to let go of their inhibitions and give in to the desires of another person. The opening lines, "You don't remember my name, I don't really care, Can we play the game your way?", indicate a sense of detachment from the past, a willingness to move on and accept whatever may come next. The singer seems willing to submit to the other person's desires, even if it means losing control.
As the song progresses, the tone shifts from one of obedience to one of nostalgia, as the singer reminisces about happier times. The line "Just once in my life, I think it'd be nice (just to lose control, just once) with all the pretty flowers in the dust" seems to suggest a longing for simpler times, when the world was full of beauty and wonder. However, the idea of losing control is still present, and it is unclear whether the singer regrets the decisions they have made or is still willing to submit to another's will.
The idea of manipulation also runs through the lyrics, as the line "If I cut you down to a thing I can use, I fear there will be nothing good left of you" suggests. The singer seems aware that the other person is only interested in them for their own needs, and fears that they may be reduced to something less than human in the process. This song embodies a sense of longing and desire, but also warns of the danger of giving in to another's will completely.
Line by Line Meaning
You don't remember my name
I am not significant enough to be remembered
I don't really care
I have accepted my insignificance and moved on
Can we play the game your way?
Can we make compromises to move ahead?
Can I really lose control?
Is it okay to let go and be vulnerable?
Just once in my life
At least one time before I die
I think it'd be nice
I have a desire for this experience
(Just to lose control, just once)
I want to let go of my inhibitions that control me for one time
With all the pretty flowers in the dust
There's still beauty in destruction
Mary had a lamb
This is the start of a metaphor
His eyes black as coals
A sinister quality of the metaphor
If we play very quiet, my lamb
If we keep it a secret
Mary never has to know
To protect Mary's innocence and ignorance
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
If I manipulate you to serve my self-interest
I fear there will be nothing good left of you
I worry that you'll lose your goodness and become like me if I do so
(Just to lose control, just once)
Reiteration of the desire to let go
