She's Lost Control
String Quartet Tribute to New Order and Joy Division Lyrics

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
Her eyes show complete confusion.

She's lost control.
She has no control over her emotions.

And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She is reaching out for help and support from anyone around her.

And she gave away the secrets of her past,
She revealed things about herself that were private.

And said I've lost control again,
She realizes that she is not in control and it is happening again.

And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She is being controlled by a voice inside her head.

She said I've lost control again.
She again admits her lack of control.

And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,
She seeks comfort and support by holding hands with someone close to her.

I've lost control again.
She admits once more that she has lost control.

And how I'll never know just why or understand,
She doesn't know why she's lost control and can't explain it.

She said I've lost control again.
She repeats it again, acknowledging the situation.

And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
She's having a breakdown and crying out for help.

I've lost control again.
She yet again admits to losing control.

And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
The situation is so overwhelming that it feels life-threatening.

She said I've lost control.
She's accepting that she has lost control.

Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case,
Someone else had to intervene, as the situation is too much to handle alone.

And say she's lost control again.
Her friend is being informed that she has lost control again.

And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
Her friend is helping her to see her errors and mistakes.

And said I've lost control again.
She repeats that she's lost control.

But she expressed herself in many different ways,
She has tried to communicate her feelings in various ways.

Until she lost control again.
Until she couldn't control herself anymore.

And walked upon the edge of no escape,
She's on the edge of spiraling out of control and possibly beyond help.

And laughed I've lost control.
She's laughing in a desperate attempt to cope with the situation.

She's lost control again.
The cycle of losing control repeats.

She's lost control.
She has no control over her emotions.

She's lost control again.
The cycle continues.

She's lost control.
Once again, she admits to having lost control.
