SELF CONTROL
Infernal vs. Laura Branigan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
In the night, no control
Through the wall something's breaking
Wearing white as you're walkin'
You take my self, you take my self control
You got me livin' only for the night
Before the morning comes, the story's told
You take my self, you take my self control
Another night, another day goes by
I never stop myself to wonder why
You help me to forget to play my role
You take my self, you take my self control
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never comes
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of my dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, the night is my world
City light painted girl
In the day nothing matters
It's the night time that flatters
I, I live among the creatures of the night
I haven't got the will to try and fight
Against a new tomorrow, so I guess I'll just believe it
That tomorrow never knows
A safe night, I'm living in the forest of a dream
I know the night is not as it would seem
I must believe in something, so I'll make myself believe it
That this night will never go
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
You take my self, you take my self control
The song "Self Control" by Infernal vs. Laura Branigan is a powerful tribute to the night, which offers an escape for the singer from the struggles of life. The night is the world of the singer, and a mysterious city light painted girl is his perfect companion in this world. During the day, nothing seems to matter to the singer, as it is the night that flatters him the most. The night is a place of freedom, where the singer can let go of all of his inhibitions and be himself. He is living among the creatures of the night and has no will to fight the new tomorrow.
However, the night is not a safe haven, as something is breaking through the walls. The singer is wearing white as he walks down the street of his soul, vulnerable to any outside influences. He meets someone who takes his self-control, and he cannot resist their pull, living only for the night. Even though he knows that before the morning comes, the story will be told, he cannot help himself from surrendering to this unknown force. It is more important to him to forget about his problems and just enjoy the moment.
The song's lyrics carry a deeply emotional message about the desire to escape reality and the search for something that gives life meaning. It illustrates the feeling of being caught up in a situation where we cannot resist temptation and must face the consequences of our choices. The song expresses the desire to hold onto the night and to believe that it will never end.

Steve Miller Talks
The Branigan version is one of my all-time favorite songs... and you did a GREAT job reworking it! Too many remixes like this drag on and on and eventually subtract more than they add to the song that's the starting point. But not here! I will have to check out more of your work! (And I'm sharing this to my community page!)
VerdeEscorpión
Totally agree with you. "Self Control" is my favorite song since I listened to back in 1984. And this versión is the best so far. Congrats! 💚
