Out of Control
Oshins Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You keep whispering, it's like you're listening
To me when I'm asleep
Secret chambers of my heart
Carve your name in there, it's like you're always there
With me when I can't breathe
I'm a stranger to myself
Becoming someone else
I'm out of control
Honey when you call my name
I give it all to you, I do it all for you
No matter what the cost
Trace your fingers on my lips
And spell it out for me
You love the mystery, say I don't wanna talk
I'm a stranger to myself
Becoming someone else
I'm not in control
I'm out of control
Say the word
Count me in
Where you end, I begin
I'm not in control
I'm out of control
In "Out of Control" by Oshins, the artist explores the feeling of being consumed and controlled by another person in a romantic relationship. The opening lines suggest a sense of unease and discomfort, as the singer describes feeling a shiver down their spine and sensing the other person constantly listening to them - even when they are asleep. This creates an atmosphere of paranoia and distrust, as they wonder why the other person is so invested in them.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's lack of control over the situation, as they feel like they are becoming someone else entirely and losing their sense of self. The repetition of the line "I'm out of control" reinforces the feeling of powerlessness in the face of the other person's influence. The verses continue this theme of being consumed, with the other person carving their name into the "secret chambers" of the singer's heart and being constantly present even when they can't breathe.
The bridge brings a sense of surrender, as the singer declares that they are willing to do anything for this person - even if it comes at a cost to themselves. The song ends with the singer essentially saying that they will follow this person anywhere and be whoever they want them to be, indicating a complete loss of autonomy.
Overall, "Out of Control" is a haunting exploration of the dynamics of a relationship in which one person has all the power, leaving the other feeling lost and powerless.
