Out Of Control
Hoobastank [www.multi-mp3.com] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and its like I'm blinded
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cuz I don't know (do) if I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me
I feel like I'm spinning out of control
I try to focus but everythings twisted
And all along I thought you would be there (thought you would be there)
So let me know I'm not alone
But in fact that's exactly what I was
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
(go)Where should go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go)Cuz I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or the things you said to me
And I may never know
The answer to this endless mystery
(go) Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control
(go)Where should I go
(do) what should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
(go) 'cause I don't know (do) if I can trust you
Or all of the things you said to me
And I may never know the answer to this endless mystery
(go)Where should I go
(do)What should I do
I don't understand what you want from me
I'm spinning out of control out of control
I'm spinning out of control out of control
The lyrics to Hoobastank's song "Out of Control" depict a person who has been following someone else's rules and expectations in the hopes of gaining more clarity and understanding. However, this has resulted in the opposite effect, leaving the person feeling lost, confused, and out of control. They are struggling to understand what is expected of them and whether or not they can trust the person who set those expectations in the first place. Despite feeling like they are spinning out of control, the person still longs for support and reassurance that they are not alone.
The song could be interpreted as a commentary on the pressure to conform to societal norms and standards, whether it be within a specific relationship, at work, or in a broader cultural context. It speaks to the anxiety and disorientation that arises when we prioritize external expectations over our own internal sense of direction and purpose. The repetition of the lines "Where should I go/What should I do" emphasizes the sense of confusion and desperation that the person is feeling, highlighting the importance of finding one's own path.

Early 00's pop punk was honestly some of the best music made in my lifetime. Sum 41, Hoobastank, Blink 182, Alien Ant Farm, all were great bands.
