Out Of Control
Sam Harris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Giving me the eye
I feel the danger signals warning me to hide
But I can't go back
When the fire starts to blow
That's when my blood goes out of control
Something about the way you stare straight into me
I try to break away, you tighten up your hold
That's when my heart goes out of control
And I just can't fight it, oh no
Out of control
And my haunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
When I feel the passion flowing
When I feel the firе blowing
That's when my heart goes out of control
My fеver's rising as you slowly move on in
My body's aching and I know I must give in
I can't resist you, my emotions overload
You've got my heart going out of control
And I just can't fight it, oh no
Out of control
And my haunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
When I feel the passion flowing
When I feel the fire blowing
That's when my heart goes out of control
Out of control, woah
When I feel the passion flowing
When I feel the fire blowing
That's when my heart goes out of control
And I just can't fight it, oh no
Out of control
And my haunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
Out of control
And I just can't fight it, oh no
Out of control
And my haunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
Out of control
And I just can't fight it, oh no
Out of control
And my haunted heart
Trapped in the jaws of desire
Out of control
And I just can't fight it, oh no
Out of control
The lyrics of Sam Harris's song "Out of Control" convey the singer's struggle with their desire for someone despite knowing the potential danger and risks involved. The singer is lured in by the other person's intoxicating gaze and touch, and despite their attempts to resist, they ultimately succumb to their passion. The repeated phrases "That's when my blood goes out of control" and "That's when my heart goes out of control" suggest a loss of agency on the singer's part, as they become overwhelmed by their feelings.
One interpretation of the song could be that it highlights the power dynamics involved in relationships and how they can lead to a loss of control. The singer recognizes that they are being seduced and may be putting themselves in harm's way, but they are unable to resist the other person's advances. The use of the phrase "Trapped in the jaws of desire" emphasizes the feeling of being caught and unable to escape the pull of attraction.
Overall, "Out of Control" is a song about the complexities and contradictions of desire. It acknowledges the risks and dangers involved in pursuing intense passions but also recognizes that there is something thrilling and irresistible about giving in to temptation.

Well I hear you come again

When my passion takes over
That's when my blood goes out of control
That's when my emotions overwhelm me
Something about the way you stare straight into me

Trapped in the jaws of desire
Captured by my longing for you
