Out Of Control
Not-a-DJ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I made up mind
Gonna slip through the cracks
Of all of this time I've been wasting
I wanna take control
I wanna take it all back
But distant horizons are fading
So I push down the feeling
That chokes out the life
Leaving the past in the rear view
And I smile while I'm healing
Get stabbed in the back
Coming to find this was all you
See me falling
No, it ain't your problem
Go ahead and turn away
Spinning out of control again
It hurts to give in
But in the end
You'll say everything is okay
Wouldn't that just feel great
Follow me down
Through the rise and the fall
Shine in the light of a shadow
Faded and worn
Bruised up, tattered and torn
Lost in the sound of an echo
And everything that I had to say
In your mind, does it fade away now?
Or do you see it every day?
Spinning out of control again
It hurts to give in
But in the end
You'll say everything is okay
Wouldn't that just feel great
Spinning out of control again
It hurts to give in
But in the end
You'll say everything is okay
Wouldn't that just feel great
Spinning out of control again
It hurts to give in
But in the end




You'll say everything is okay
Wouldn't that just feel great

Line by Line Meaning

I made up mind
I have decided


Gonna slip through the cracks
I will navigate unnoticed


Of all of this time I've been wasting
Of all the time I have been squandering


I wanna take control
I desire to seize control


I wanna take it all back
I yearn to undo everything


But distant horizons are fading
But distant opportunities are disappearing


So I push down the feeling
So I suppress the emotion


That chokes out the life
That suffocates my vitality


Leaving the past in the rear view
Leaving the past behind


And I smile while I'm healing
And I find solace as I recover


Get stabbed in the back
Betrayed and deceived


Coming to find this was all you
Realizing this was all your doing


See me falling
Witness my downfall


No, it ain't your problem
No, it is not your concern


Go ahead and turn away
Feel free to look away


Spinning out of control again
Losing control once more


It hurts to give in
It is painful to surrender


But in the end
However, ultimately


You'll say everything is okay
You will claim everything is fine


Wouldn't that just feel great
Wouldn't that be wonderful


Follow me down
Accompany me downward


Through the rise and the fall
Through the ups and downs


Shine in the light of a shadow
Radiate despite the darkness around


Faded and worn
Diminished and exhausted


Bruised up, tattered and torn
Injured, ragged, and damaged


Lost in the sound of an echo
Confused within the reverberations


And everything that I had to say
And all that I wanted to express


In your mind, does it fade away now?
Does it now diminish in your thoughts?


Or do you see it every day?
Or do you witness it daily?


Spinning out of control again
Losing control once more


It hurts to give in
It is painful to surrender


But in the end
However, ultimately


You'll say everything is okay
You will claim everything is fine


Wouldn't that just feel great
Wouldn't that be wonderful


Spinning out of control again
Losing control once more


It hurts to give in
It is painful to surrender


But in the end
However, ultimately


You'll say everything is okay
You will claim everything is fine


Wouldn't that just feel great
Wouldn't that be wonderful
