Mission:Control
Rival Tides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mission control we want it all.
Don't ever let them get you.
Spilling the cup and filling it up.
It's just a matter of time before the questions in the back of your mind subside.
You just cave in to the weight of it all.
What's the reason?
Why?
Message control we want it all, no one to follow.
Take back your soul, who are you living for?
They said it's all in your head, are you awake and dreaming?
Floating around between the clouds over the whole world sleeping.
Please please come down.
Don't waste your energy.
We need you now.
Here, here on the ground
Message control we want it all, no one to follow.
Take back your soul, who are you living for?
Message control we want it all, no one to follow.
Take back your soul, who are you living for?
Who are you living for?
Mission: Control we want it all don't ever let them get you
Mission: Control we want it all don't ever let them catch you fall
Not again, this is the moment that you've been waiting for.
For so long and there's no reason at all.
Message control we want it all, no one to follow.
Take back your soul, who are you living for?
Message control we want it all, no one to follow.
Take back your soul, who are you living for?
The lyrics of Rival Tides' song "Mission:Control" convey a message of wanting power and control in life. The repeated phrase "Mission control we want it all" signifies the desire for control over oneself and one's surroundings. The singer warns against letting others take control or influence your decisions, urging the listener to take back their power and live for themselves. The line "Spilling the cup and filling it up" indicates the struggle to balance and control one's own emotions and desires.
The lyrics seem to be directed towards someone who is struggling with their own sense of purpose and questioning the meaning of their life. The lines "What's the reason? Why? There's no reason at all" suggest a feeling of hopelessness and confusion. The singer encourages the listener to come down from their lofty thoughts and ground themselves in reality. The phrase "Take back your soul" implies that the listener has given up a part of themselves and needs to retrieve it in order to gain control.
Overall, "Mission:Control" is a plea for control and power over one's life, while warning against external influences that may try to take that control away.
