Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't want to see it I put it to bed
Always get back to where it lead
I wonder why I can't listen to what I said
Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need it's easy
Do it again do it again you know what I'm gonna do can't believe it
Hey ya this one's out of control
Why don't you tell me all the things you know
Why don't you come to me with something to show
I take my time I do my part just to get right through the day
All I want is for you to listen to what I say now
Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need It's easy
Do it again do it again you know what I'm gonna do can't believe it
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need it's easy
Do it again do it again you know what i'm gonna do can't believe it
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
Hey ya this one's out of control
The lyrics to "Out of Control" by Nico A.K.A Nicotine seem to portray the inner turmoil of the singer as they struggle to maintain a sense of control and balance in their life. The first stanza suggests that the singer has been reflecting on their thoughts and emotions, but they have deliberately shut them down and put them to bed because they don't want to confront them. However, these thoughts keep resurfacing, and the singer wonders why they can't listen to their own advice. The line "Always get back to where it lead" suggests that the singer is constantly ending up in the same situation or thought patterns, despite their efforts to avoid them.
The chorus of the song, with the repeated phrase "Take another ride on the 3am lookin for what I need it's easy," suggests that the singer is seeking some sort of release or escape from their problems, but they are unable to find what they need. The repetition of the phrase "do it again, do it again" seems to imply a sense of desperation or hopelessness. The singer is fully aware of their lack of control, acknowledging that "this one's out of control."
The second stanza switches focus as the singer addresses someone else, asking why they won't share their knowledge or insights. The singer then describes their own conscientiousness, taking their time to do their part and make it through the day. This is likely in contrast to the chaotic, out of control feeling that the singer has been describing throughout the song.
Overall, "Out of Control" seems to be a reflection on the difficulties of maintaining control in the face of one's own thoughts and emotions. The repeated phrase "take another ride on the 3am" suggests a cyclical, recurring pattern of behavior that the singer can't seem to break.

I just came here to express my utmost gratitude to Dr Huberman!
I listened to this podcast precisely 10 days ago and immediately after finishing quit vaping and cigarettes (10 year+ smoker).
I downloaded the hypnosis app and went onto NRT , changing it every 7 days as he reccomends. I honestly didn't think it was possible but here I am !
Feeling healthier than ever , plan to never go back!
Thanks Again Mr Huberman !!!❤

Allen Carr changed my life 30 years ago, not just through his book making it RELATIVLY easy for me to stop smoking - I did have just a couple of wobbly moments where I just lit some newspaper to breath in the smoke even though it contained no nicotine, the ingredient I was desperate to stop being addicted to - I was soon free as a bird - But he kinda took me under his wing for a while when I wrote him a thank you letter and he kept writing back to help me with other things too - such a lovely guy.
I MUST BE HONEST that I did eventually start again because I forgot his rule about not moping - so I was soon able to stop again for another 5 years - then got depressed over a girl and started again because I was moping like a big baby again lol! - so AGAIN I stopped, essentially still using Allen's "EASYWAY" method but this time I had to modify my approach, which I wil elaborate on in a moment ..
BUT THE IMPORTANT POINT IS THIS - and I know Allen would have backed me up on this - the fact that I occasionally started again can easily give the false impression that I was missing smoking all the years I stopped - But I wasn;t - Not at all - I absolutely LOVED being a non smoker and couldn;t understand why I had ever done it - being around smokers didn't bother me in the least - people would often offer me a cig, knowing I didn;t smoke any more, and it just amused me that they were desperate to get me hooked again ...
... so I would encourage ANYONE to at least give it a go because it really IS the most marvellous feeling in the world to be back to normal...
...The only reason I ever started again was out of some unrelated desperation to solve a completely different problem - breaking up with the love of my life left me desperate to do ANYTHING to stop me wanting to give up on life altogether (I;m choosing my words carefully) - so under those circumstances, I would rather start smoking to distract myself, to find a NEW problem to solve instead of depression over a girl - at least I KNEW I could stop smoking again - which I did of course ...
... But I did find I had to vary the method just a little bit sometimes - what worked on one occasion was simply leaving a pack of cigs that I regretted buying, in front of me, with the rule that I COULD smoke them any time I was genuinely desperate to smoke one ... and every hour I would simply ask myself the question "HOW DESPERATE AM I TO SMOKE ONE?" and quite remarkably, the answer kept coming back "NOT AT ALL, YET!" ... but I was CONVINCED I would eventually smoke them - yet day after day went by with the answer to that quetion still coming back "NOT DESPERATE YET" ... then after a week or so I finally realised I was never going to need them and so I gave them away.
It was a girl who GOT me into smoking - our date wasn;t going well and she kept offering me a cig - so after a couple of hours I said "Oh go on then" and because I was a none smoker, IT MADE ME DIZZY AND TALKATIVE and the date started going well - so I asked for another ... Then when I asked for a third one she said "YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO START BUYING YOUR OWN!" - so for the next date I bought a pack, smoked one before the date, wanted to throw up, tried to give the pack away to a homeless person - he refused them saying he had quit! ... and so I ended up keeping them and smoking for five years, until I discovered Allen's book. Oh and she didn;t turn up for the date lol. I quickly became a chain smoker like Allen was for many years before discovering his revolutionary method.
Anyway I wish you the very best and urge you to never give up trying to quit. It really is worth the effort. It's no where near as hard as most people make out but some days it can be dead hard and other days it can be dead easy - so keep trying! It's THE best decision some of us can ever make. Life is SO much better without paying through the nose to damage ourselves and spoil almost every aspect of life, to be free of that black cloud hanging over us every day.
If you struggle at all, it doesn;t reflect badly on you - but if you keep trying despite struggling for whatever reason, that say's a lot about your determination. So I wish you the very best.
(PS - Allen even allowed me to make 100 copies of his book on a photocopier to GIVE away to local people, some of who were very grateful)

After listening to your episode on alcohol, went from a chronic drinker of 8 years to teetotal.
One element of that which I found especially helpful in quitting alcohol was learning about the detrimental effects of alcohol on the human body.
One aspect that I would’ve loved to hear with this episode on nicotine and systems to ingest nicotine would be to hear specifically about the effects on the body that smoking & vaping produces!
Nonetheless all the information within this episode is going to be the bedrock of my protocol to quit smoking - so for that I thank Huberman Labs immensely.

I quit when i began to realize that hitting a vape is the same thing as having a stimulation button for your brain but the problem is, when you hit that stimulation button all day long, everything else the brain gets stimulated by become so much less stimulating bc youre already hitting that button all day, so you really cant get that much satisfaction out of anything else.
@SamsaLilaTheHobo
Thank you for this comment. It's so true and I've never seen it in words before. I've got my nicotine patches and I'm ready to quit this week. Thank you

Exactly, it drops your baseline, also it’s so easy to abuse to the point of draining yourself excessively and making you fatigued.
@AkramKhanTalks
Kudos to you my friend!
