Under Control
Sexy Marvin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see the sun set coming up sharp clouds blowing in my face
In the middle of this country where there′s now where to take fame
And then people here taking
All the leisure of their minds(under minds)
Like there's no one to care but
Still, they keep in time

To make pride into something of their own
And make them ride to the center of the world
They take you high where the words are left alone
And circles fly and then make you feel control.

Going upwards driving fast playing this shad game
From this shore I saw the ocean that I know that no one can
I Hope many have (havent)a change on their
Emotions that (then) turned to lies
They will not work in vain just to fill
The faking hands

To make the pride into something of their own
In circles fly and then make you feel control
They take you high where the words are left alone
To make them ride to the center of the world

Everybody is hypnotized, take their body then put the price, every human hasn′t realized, they talk whit other eyes,
Everybody is hypnotized,
Taketheir body then put the price, every human.
Hasn't realized, FREE LIFE

To make pride into something of their own
And make them ride to the center of the world
They take you high where the words are left alone
And circles fly and then make you feel control.

Overall Meaning

"Under Control" by Sexy Marvin is a song that explores themes of autonomy, power, and control. The opening lines set a scene of a sunset, clouds, and a sense of being lost in the middle of nowhere. The people here are taking leisure in their minds, and they seem to be unconcerned with the rest of the world. Nonetheless, they "still, they keep in time", suggesting that they are not entirely passive but rather actively engaged in their own lives.


The second stanza mentions driving fast and playing some "shade game". This could be interpreted as an allusion to deception and maneuvering in order to get ahead. However, the singer acknowledges that many who engage in such behavior may be doing so out of desperation, as they hope to turn their emotions into something real even if it means resorting to deceit. The repetition of the line "They take you high where the words are left alone" suggests that some sort of transcendence is possible, even if it is temporary.


The final stanza references hypnotism and the idea that many people are unaware of their own value or worth. The repetition of the line "every human hasn't realized" suggests a sense of urgency or frustration, as the singer wants to wake people up to their own power and potential.
