NO CONTROL
One Direction [Four] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just that fingerprinted lipstick’s not enough
Sleep, where you lay
Still a trace of innocence on the pillow case
Waking up
Beside you I’m my loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
No control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
Taste on my tongue
I don't want to wash away the night before
And the heat where you laid
I could stay right here and burn in this all day
Waking up
Beside you I’m my loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours I've got no control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
Lost my senses
I'm defenseless
Her perfume’s holding me ransom
Sweet and sour
I devour
Lying here I count the hours
Waking up
Beside you I’m my loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours I got no control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
No control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control
The first verse of "No Control" by One Direction speaks about the aftermath of a night spent with a person you’re infatuated with. The lyrics mention a stained coffee cup and fingerprinted lipstick, which suggest that the singer spent the night at someone's place. They try to find evidence of the person who they spent the night with still there in every inch of the room. They see innocence in the pillowcase, which could suggest that the person they were with was younger than they were, and that they are worried about the morality or ethics of the situation, yet they can't help the feelings they have. The singer is overwhelmed and feels out of control.
The chorus of the song speaks about the uncontrollable feelings that the singer experiences. Even though they know they should keep a distance from this person, they feel powerless and can't get enough of them. They are fully aware of the danger of their actions but are no longer able to stop themselves. The singer acknowledges that they are addicted to this person, and it's impossible to put a brake on their feelings.
The second verse of the song explains how the singer is still experiencing the after-effects of the night before. It references the taste on their tongue and the heat from where the person laid, implying that they can still feel the presence of the person they spent the night with. Additionally, the singer acknowledges that they don't want to get rid of the memories or the feelings, and they could stay in the moment forever.

Stained coffee cup
The remnants of our time together
Just that fingerprinted lipstick’s not enough
Your presence is still lingering on my mind
Sleep, where you lay
Memories of you are still fresh in my mind
Still a trace of innocence on the pillow case
A symbol of the purity of our love
Waking up
Realizing the reality of our connection
Beside you I’m my loaded gun
I feel powerful when I am with you
I can't contain this anymore
I cannot deny my love for you
I'm all yours I've got no control
I am willing to give you everything
No control
My emotions are too strong to resist
Powerless
I am helpless without you
And I don't care it's obvious
I am not ashamed of my feelings

And the heat where you laid
The warmth of your touch is still felt

I am content being consumed by my love for you
Lost my senses
My logical mind is overridden by my feelings for you
I'm defenseless
You have the power to hurt me
Her perfume’s holding me ransom
Your presence is intoxicating and captivating
Sweet and sour
Our love is bittersweet
I devour
I can't resist my addiction to you
Lying here I count the hours
I am willing to wait for you
No control
My emotions are too strong to resist
No control
My addiction to you is too strong
No control
I am too consumed by my love for you
Powerless
I am helpless without you.
And I don't care it's obvious
I am not ashamed of my feelings
I just can't get enough of you
I am addicted to you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
I am taking a risk to be with you

Stained coffee cup
Just a fingerprint of lipstick's not enough
Sweet where you lay
Still a trace of innocence on pillowcase
Waking up
Beside you I'm a loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours, I got no control, no control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedals down, my eyes are closed
No control
Taste on my tongue
I don't wanna wash away the night before
In the heat where you lay
I could stay right here and burn in it all day
Waking up
Beside you I'm a loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours, I got no control, no control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedals down, my eyes are closed
No control
Lost my senses
I'm defenseless
Her perfume's holding me ransom
Sweet and sour
Heart devour
Lying here I count the hours
Waking up
Beside you I'm a loaded gun
I can't contain this anymore
I'm all yours, I got no control, no control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedals down, my eyes are closed
No control
No control
No control
Powerless
And I don't care it's obvious
I just can't get enough of you
The pedal's down, my eyes are closed
No control

IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Hello, directioner.
As we all know, One direction 10th anniversary is coming up around 3-4 months now. Fan projects are being conducted to take Drag Me Down and Story Of My Life to 1 Billion views as an effort from our side to show the boys that we Directioner are still happily and eagerly waiting for them. The target is to achieve 1 Billion by the time of the 10th anniversary. But at this rate, getting 1 Billion is not possible. So we need to pull our sock and gear up at the moment. Moreover, lockdowns and quarantines are going in almost all parts of the world, so we won't have time management problems as well.
After thorough research, I have come up with some points regarding what should be an effective way of getting more view counts to achieve the target.
1. Don't depend on autostart. When a video plays without the initiation of the user, youtube doesn't count those videos.
2. Don't make spam comments or use watch bots.
3. Don't get fooled by the thought that you can stream a video for hours and give more views. Youtube doesn't count more than 5 views from a certain user in a day.
4. You don't have to watch the whole video to get a view. You just need to stream up to 40 seconds of 1 video each.
5. Avoid multiple windows and continuous refreshing while streaming.
Special note: Remember to only stream the official video at the moment.
So now here is the actual plan:
We will stream the first 40-50 second of both Drag Me Down and Story Of My Life alternatively for 5 times in a day. Trough calculation, the result says that we need 300.000 [Three hundred thousand] people to do this streaming every day to get Drag Me Down 1billion. Streaming 40 seconds of two songs 5 times a day takes up a maximum of 7 minutes per person.
The difficult part of this isn't streaming. It hardly takes 5-10 minutes per day. The actual work is spreading the word. This message has to reach +300.000 people and +300.000 HAVE TO STRICTLY follow this streaming pattern to take drag me down to 1billion before 23rd July 2020.
