Out Of Control
Motochrist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it'd would me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like i'm blinded
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Where should i go?
What should i do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause i don't know
If i can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me
I feel like i'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all alone i thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To 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
Where should i go?
What should i do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause i don't know
If i can trust you
All of the things you've said to me
I may never know the answer
To this famous mystery
Where should i go?
What should i do?
I don't understand what you want from me
It's in a mystery
It's in 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...
Where should i go?
What should i do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause i don't know
If i can trust you

At first listen, Motochrist’s song “Out of Control” seems to be about a person who has followed the rules and guidelines set before them, but instead of gaining clarity, they feel lost and confused. The song talks about feeling blinded and the feeling of spinning out of control. The chorus repeats the question of where to go and what to do, acknowledging the uncertainty of the situation. The lyrics also address the issue of trust, questioning whether the person can trust the individual who set the rules and expectations. Throughout the song, there are undertones of loneliness and the realization that the person cannot rely on others to guide them.
The song can also be interpreted in a broader sense, talking about societal pressures and the expectations put on individuals to conform. The idea of blindly following rules and expectations can ultimately cause someone to lose themselves and feel lost. The feeling of spinning out of control can be seen as a metaphor for being lost in life, unsure of which direction to go next. The lyrics encourage the listener to question what they want and who they want to be, rather than blindly following others’ expectations.

I thought it'd would me see things clearly
I believed that your guidance would facilitate my understanding
But instead of helping me to see
But, rather than improving my ability to understand

I don't understand what you want from me
I am confounded by your expectations
Cause I don't know

If I can trust you
Whether I can depend on you
Try to focus but everything's twisted
I attempt to concentrate, but reality is distorted
And all alone I thought you would be there
When I was by myself, I believed you would be present
(Thought you would be there)
(I assumed you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
To acknowledge that I am not solitary
But in fact that's exactly what I was
But, in reality, I was, in fact, unaccompanied

The entirety of what you have communicated to me
I may never know the answer
I might never gain insight into the truth
