Take four best friends, a small town in Virginia called Charlottesville, hundreds of practice sessions in their parents' attics, and a college buddy from another small VA town (Falls Church), and you have SPARKY'S FLAW. Will Anderson, Kit French, Johnny Stubblefield, Alex Hargrave and Nate McFarland are SPARKY'S FLAW - think Maroon 5 and The Fray. With the kind of raw energy that tends to only occur when the musicians on stage also happen to be best friends, SPARKY'S FLAW has the pop sensibility to take over the world, one small town at a time.

Under Control
Sparky's Flaw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't shake the look you gave me
I'm as good as dead,
Cause all those eyes are all it takes
And all, I want, is you
So I pulled away
All I do is sit and wait
And I might as well
That all, I want, is you
Always you
Because I've kept my heart under control
But baby, all this time it's taken it's toll
Said I tried to but I can not back what's deep in my soul
So darling please believe me
I want you and you just have to know
And all my fears,
Creep and crawl across my skin
These four walls,
Are after me and moving in
And all, all that I want to do, oh
Is give up, give in,
And let this one see where it ends
But I don't suppose I will
Because I've kept my heart under control
But baby, all this time it's taken it's toll
Said I tried to but I can not back what's deep in my soul
So darling please believe me
I want you and you just have to know
That one of these days
I'm gonna find myself away
I'm bout to carnage
Oh I'm bout rage
Oh and I'm going to know, just what to say
Oh and walk on up
When you want this love
And you've had enough
And yo keep giving up
Because I've kept my heart under control
But baby, all this time it's taken it's toll
Said I tried to but I can not back what's deep in my soul
So darling please believe me
I want you and you just have to know
I've kept my heart, under control
It's under control baby
Deep down in my soul
I want you and you just have to know
It's under control baby
Darling don't let this go
Baby girl ohh ohh
It's under control [FADES]
The song "Under Control" by Sparky's Flaw is about a person who has been trying to hide their feelings for someone they have fallen in love with. The lyrics describe the struggle of keeping one's heart and emotions under control, which has eventually taken a toll on the person. The singer tries to ignore their feelings but the look that the person they love gives them makes it harder for them to stay away. The fear and doubts consume them as they are unable to find a way to express their love.
The singer desires the person they love and wants them to know about it. However, they feel vulnerable and scared to open themselves up to that person, as they have kept their heart restrained for a long time. The chorus repeats the phrase "I've kept my heart under control," highlighting how the singer has been trying to control their emotions. The lyrics, "It's under control baby, Deep down in my soul, I want you and you just have to know," imply that even though the person has been trying to suppress their emotions, their love has never faded.
Overall, the song portrays the fear and vulnerability one experiences while falling in love, especially when they are uncertain about how the other person feels.
