Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you wanna know what they talk about
Want it so bad, but you can't let go, oh no
You don't like what you can't control
(If you can't control it
You just don't like it)
Hey, tell me all about your mistakes
I know somebody hurt you some way
Hey, it's okay you say you wanna play
But you keep on playing it safe
Lose it baby, don't be afraid hey, hey
Can't hold it in, can't shut it out
But you wanna know what they talk about
Want it so bad, but you can't let go, oh no
You don't like what you can't control
You don't like what you can't control
(If you can't control it
You just don't like it)
You don't like what you can't control
(If you can't control it
You just don't like it)
If you can't control it
You just don't like it
But you can't deny, try not to fight it
If you can't control it
You just don't like it
You don't like what you can't control
If you can't control it
You just don't like it
But you can't deny, try not to fight it
If you can't control it
You just don't like it
You don't like what you can't control
If you can't control it
You just don't like it
If you can't control it
You just don't like it
The lyrics of "Lose Control" by Robyn & La Bagatelle Magique explore the theme of control and the desire to let go of it. The song talks about the struggle of holding back emotions and wanting to break free from the need to control everything. It highlights the fear and discomfort that arise when faced with situations that cannot be controlled.
The opening lines, "Can't hold it in, can't shut it out, but you wanna know what they talk about," suggest that the singer is unable to suppress their feelings and thoughts. They want to understand what people are saying about them or their actions, even though it may be difficult to hear. The lyrics emphasize the longing for something or someone that they cannot let go of, despite the absence of control.
The chorus repeats the idea of not liking what one can't control, as if control is a prerequisite for acceptance. The lines, "If you can't control it, you just don't like it," imply that the singer struggles with anything that is beyond their control. However, there is also a message of acceptance and urging the listener to not be afraid and lose themselves, to embrace the unknown and take risks.
