Out of Control
L.H. & the Memphis Sounds Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Incarnation of a higher trapped soul, yeah
I said it's vicious and it's out of control, yeah
Out of control, yeah
I've got a fever but it's hidden to you
In plain sight but out of the blue, yeah
That said it's out of control, yeah
Out of control, yeah
Away from disarray
When your life breaks away
A shard a day
That said it's out of control, yeah
Out of control, yeah
I've got a fever, it's infecting the blight
So savage it's killing the light
Affiliations sparked and out of control
Out of control
I've got a fever and I give it to you
May god now watch your soul
I've got a cleaver and it's out of control
Out of control
So, what's keeping you at bay?
Away from disarray
When your life breaks away
A shard a day
That said it's out of control yeah
Out of control, yeah
I've got a lot of things to say
About the life you promised me
And all the times you failed
I've got a lot things to say
About the way you traded me
I'm not the one to blame
They said it's out of control
They said it's out of control
They said it's out of control
Out of control
The lyrics of L.H. & the Memphis Sounds' song "Out of Control" explore the themes of fever, hidden emotions, chaos, and personal frustrations. The first verse introduces the idea of having a fever that is "out of control" and a representation of a trapped soul. This fever symbolizes intense emotions or desires that feel overwhelming and impossible to contain.
The second verse suggests that the fever is hidden from others, like in plain sight but out of the blue. This implies that the singer's inner turmoil is not readily apparent to those around them. Despite this concealment, the fever continues to rage uncontrollably.
The song then poses a series of questions, asking what is preventing the listener from succumbing to chaos and disarray, and how they can escape their life breaking away piece by piece. This could be an invitation for self-reflection and a call to avoid a destructive path. The repetition of "out of control" emphasizes the intense emotions and situations the singer is experiencing.
In the following verses, the fever takes on a more destructive nature. It is described as infecting the blight and killing the light, representing the negative impact it has on the singer and their surroundings. Affiliations, most likely referring to relationships, are sparked by this fever and become out of control, further exacerbating the chaos.
The final part of the lyrics shifts to a more personal and confrontational tone. The singer expresses a desire to speak about the life and promises that were made but not fulfilled. They also address being traded in a negative way and reject the idea that they are to blame for the chaos and turmoil.
Overall, the lyrics of "Out of Control" delve into the tumultuous nature of intense emotions and desires. The song explores themes of hidden turmoil, personal frustrations, and the consequences of unchecked impulses. It serves as a reflection on the internal struggles one might face and the desire to break free from destructive patterns.
