Control Freak
Steve Aoki Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
All of the sudden she arrived
And my eyes and my mind
She whispers all this time I have been gone
She says she can’t sleep at night without me
You had my body and my mind sometimes get off
You like my body and my mind sometimes get off, get off
Control freak
Baby I got the feeling that you are more me
Control freak
Baby I love your swagger
Such a ? control freak
Don’t even know you
Control freak
I can’t stop thinking about you you you
And all the ? that w could do do do
Tell me to stop tell me to move
Baby we got nothing to lose
You had my body and my mind sometimes get off
You like my body and my mind sometimes get off, get off
Control freak
Baby I got the feeling that you are more me
Control freak
Baby I love your swagger
Such a ? control freak
Don’t even know you
Control freak
Control freak
Baby I got the feeling that you are more me
Control freak

Such a ? control freak

Control freak
The song "Control Freak" by Steve Aoki is about a mysterious woman who has just arrived and captured his attention. The lyrics reveal that she has been gone for some time and is now back in his life, and that she is a "control freak." The singer is both drawn to and intimidated by her dominant and assertive personality.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "control freak," emphasizing the hold that this woman has over him. He admits that he loves her "swagger," suggesting that her confidence and forceful nature are what attract him to her, despite the fact that he doesn't really "know" her. The bridge highlights his infatuation with her, stating that he cannot stop thinking about her and what they could do.
The song plays with the idea of power dynamics in a relationship, specifically the control that one partner can have over another. It suggests that even someone who self-identifies as a "control freak" can still be alluring and desirable to others.
