Take Control
Lords of Acid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm moving, I'm follow the beam
I'm hypnotised by your scream
Created by love
This feeling makes me groove
This energy below
The force is carry me over the top
Not knowing how to stop
I'm hungry, I'm hungry for your touch

Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control
Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control
Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control
Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control

There's madness, to see that there's no gain
Takes control of my brain
It's pure, it's sick,
It's a reflection of the soul
Deepdown in my heart
Filling a hole
Created by hate
The fact, the fact that I'm alone
A victim turned to stone

Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control
Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control




Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control
Feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lords of Acid's song "Take Control" convey a feeling of being overwhelmed and controlled by a powerful force, whether it be love or hate. The first verse illustrates the singer's susceptibility to the control of another, as they follow a hypnotic "beam" and become enraptured by a lover's scream. The energy and force of their emotions carry them away, leaving them hungry for more.


The chorus emphasizes the power of rhythm and soul to take control, specifically in the context of Lords of Acid's music. The repeated refrain of "feel the rhythm, feel the soul, Lords of Acid take control" can be interpreted as an invitation for listeners to allow themselves to be lost in the music and the feelings it evokes.


The second verse incorporates darker elements, with the singer referencing madness and a sense of being a victim turned to stone. They describe a hole inside themselves that is temporarily filled by the reflection of their sick, pure hate.


Overall, "Take Control" is a song about the ways in which we can be controlled by powerful emotions and external forces, emphasizing the seductive nature of music and the human desire to lose oneself completely in something outside of oneself.

I went to their concert in San Antonio, TX at The White Rabbit in my mid 20's.... I'm now 47 yrs old, and to this day it was the best concert I've ever been to!

@FMFMXRacer

Makes me want to eat some acid and go to the after hours clubs like back in the 90's.

@demerit5

I probably own 5 different early 90's 'Rave' compilations that have this song in addition to the actual Lust album. Still doesn't get old though. Classic track.

@Beau-tique

This was an epic track on an album called Essential Hardcore. Who else owned that album?

@crazyredneck7244

This reminds me a hotel we used to party at in the 90s. Party til 2am and take it back to the rooms. Piles of bodies.

@cotiaratv3651

We will always be where it's at.

@MrPenny7509
