Out of Control
Nothing Carved In Stone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And made up myself
So crash and splash
I fight
With my obsession.
I feel the tension
A need for caution
I would like to show
Look into my head
I don't
Know why I'm so harsh
I could be so brash
I'm going to clash
'Cause I feel
I can always show
my everything to you
If this moment was for me
I try to hear
Lend my ear
Voices inside
One link to join it all again
All the things I knew
The world I trusted
Would be the same
If I
Remained inside my
Protective castle
And kept my eyes closed
Words are just a toy
That people play with
It's superficial
I know
The proof is out there
The hidden answer
That someone left there
'Cause I feel
I can always show
my everything to you
If this moment was for me
I try to hear
Lend my ear
Voices inside
One link to join it all
If I can
Go travel back in time
Start it all over again
Follow a calculated
path to live but
One day I
Will come across the same
Feeling again and know
that it will carry over
'Cause I feel
I can always show
my everything to you
If this moment was for me
I try to hear
Lend my ear
Voices inside
One link to join it all
So it goes again
The lyrics of "Out of Control" by Nothing Carved In Stone depict an individual struggling with their own demons and coming to the realization that they have made themselves into something they may not fully understand. The opening lines "I have copied you and made up myself" suggest that this person has been influenced by others and as a result, has created an identity that is not entirely their own. The following lines, "so crash and splash, I fight with my obsession," conveys the struggle that this person faces in trying to break free from their self-imposed barriers.
The second verse highlights the internal struggle of the individual. They feel tension and the need for caution, but they also have this desire to show their true self to others. The line "cut open my skull, look into my head" acts as a metaphor for this desire as they want others to see the true person they are. They are aware of their harshness and regret it, but they also recognize that they can't help it. The last few lines "one link to join it all again, all the things I knew, the world I trusted would be the same if I remained inside my protective castle and kept my eyes closed," suggest that this person is caught between two worlds. On one hand, they want to break free and show their true self, but on the other hand, they realize that doing so may mean losing the stability they currently have.
Overall, "Out of Control" deals with themes of self-discovery, identity, and the struggle to break free from self-imposed limitations. It speaks to the human desire to be understood and to connect with others.

I have copied you
I have modeled myself after you
And made up myself
And created my own identity
So crash and splash
So I rebel and make a big impact
I fight
I struggle
With my obsession.
With my compulsion to be like you
I feel the tension
I sense the pressure
A need for caution
A need for carefulness
I would like to show
I want to reveal
Cut open my skull
Expose my mind
Look into my head
See what's inside
I don't
I do not
Know why I'm so harsh
Understand why I can be so cruel
I could be so brash
I could act recklessly
I'm going to clash
I will come into conflict
'Cause I feel
Because I sense
I can always show
I can always reveal
my everything to you
All of my innermost thoughts and feelings to you
If this moment was for me
If this moment was meant for me
I try to hear
I attempt to listen to
Lend my ear
Give my full attention
Voices inside
Inner thoughts and feelings
One link to join it all again
One connection to bring everything together again
All the things I knew
All the things I was familiar with
The world I trusted
The world I had faith in
Would be the same
Would not change
If I
If I were to
Remained inside my
Stayed within my
Protective castle
Safe haven
And kept my eyes closed
And refused to see the truth
Words are just a toy
Words are not to be taken seriously
That people play with
That people use for their amusement
It's superficial
It's only surface level
I know
I am aware
The proof is out there
The evidence exists
The hidden answer
The secret solution
That someone left there
That someone has left behind
'Cause I feel
Because I sense
I can always show
I can always reveal
my everything to you
All of my innermost thoughts and feelings to you
If this moment was for me
If this moment was meant for me
I try to hear
I attempt to listen to
Lend my ear
Give my full attention
Voices inside
Inner thoughts and feelings
One link to join it all
One connection to bring everything together
If I can
If I am able to
Go travel back in time
Travel to the past
Start it all over again
Begin anew
Follow a calculated
Follow a predetermined
path to live but
Life with a plan but
One day I
Someday I
Will come across the same
Will encounter the same
Feeling again and know
Feel the same way again and realize
that it will carry over
That it will persist
'Cause I feel
Because I sense
I can always show
I can always reveal
my everything to you
All of my innermost thoughts and feelings to you
If this moment was for me
If this moment was meant for me
I try to hear
I attempt to listen to
Lend my ear
Give my full attention
Voices inside
Inner thoughts and feelings
One link to join it all
One connection to bring everything together
So it goes again
It repeats once more
