Out of Control
Perticone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Clock is ticking, feel it coming
No excuses for your actions
Blame it on your satisfactions
I always wanted to be lost in space
Cause I'm afraid of the human race
There's no shelter I can hide my face
I'm going out of this control
I'mgoing out of this world
I'm not taking any calls today
Words are always left to say
I'm sure it's all you've ever wanted here, enough for me
Burned our present, still neglected
I always wanted to be lost in space
Cause I'm afraid of the human race
Nothing changes all remains the same
I'mgoing out of control
I'm going out of this world
And I don't care about it much
And you don't care about us
And I can't get not relax
And I keep hearing those voices coming faraway
Can't get no relax, words are always left to say
Never stop
I always wanted to be lost in space
Cause I'm afraid of the human race
Does our story have another page?
There is no shelter to hide my face
Nothing changes all the same disgrace
I'm going out of control
I'm going out of this world
Perticone's song Out of Control explores the theme of wanting to escape the pressures of societal expectations and the sense of being overwhelmed. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the song: "I don't wanna hear your story, Clock is ticking, feel it coming. No excuses for your actions, Blame it on your satisfactions." The singer is expressing a feeling of weariness towards the excuses people make for their behavior, and the accompanying feeling of being trapped by time.
The second verse further explores the singer's desire to escape the pressures of the world through a feeling of wanting to be "lost in space." The singer seems to suggest that this feeling of wanting to escape can be all-consuming, with no way to hide from it. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm going out of control, I'm going out of this world," further emphasizing the sense of being overwhelmed.
The final verse of the song seems to present a feeling of despair and resignation, with the line "Does our story have another page? There is no shelter to hide my face, Nothing changes all the same disgrace." The singer is expressing a feeling of hopelessness that things will never change, and there is no escape from the pressures of the world.
