Out Of Control
The Red Moons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At the lowest of lows
Panic when you feel like there's nowhere left to go
Wandering through these shopping malls
Shuffling to buy it all
This world it seems is out of control
Out of control
At the highest of highs
Tragic when you learn that there's nowhere you can hide
Stumbling through your life's a crawl
Sweet relief of alcohol
This world it seems is out of control
Oh, why me?
Oh my
I've lost my grip on everything
Oh, why me?
Oh my
There's no way to stop this suffering
The lyrics of "Out of Control" by The Red Moons explore themes of despair, escapism, and a loss of control in one's life.
The first verse begins with the word "Manic," setting a tone of desperation and agitation. It describes feeling at the "lowest of lows" and experiencing panic when there seems to be nowhere left to turn. The mention of "shopping malls" suggests a society obsessed with materialism, where people try to numb their pain by mindlessly consuming. The repetition of the phrase "out of control" emphasizes the chaotic nature of the world.
The second verse introduces the word "Magic," contrasting it with the previous "Manic." It conveys a sense of euphoria and ecstasy, but quickly turns tragic as the realization hits that there is nowhere to hide from life's hardships. The image of stumbling through life evokes a lack of direction or purpose. The mention of alcohol as a source of relief suggests an attempt to escape reality, albeit temporarily.
The chorus "Oh, why me? Oh my" expresses a deep sense of personal suffering and despair. It implies a feeling of being overwhelmed and losing control over everything in one's life. The repeated phrase "there's no way to stop this suffering" underscores the futility of trying to find a solution or escape from the pain.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a world spiraling out of control, where individuals are caught in a cycle of desperation and temporary relief. The song portrays a struggle to make sense of one's own existence and find a way to cope with the chaos and suffering present in the world.
