Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Once youu0027ll never do it again
I feel
Once you try to take my hand
Once youu0027ll never be
Why do you feel so in control
Why do you feel so in control
Take my last bite, Iu0027ll give it you if you really want
And I feel
Youu0027re dreaming, yes youu0027re dreaming
The voice inside your head, yes youu0027re dreaming
And I have, I feel
Once you try to take my hand
Once youu0027ll never be
Why do you feel so in control?
Why do you feel so in control?
Why do you feel so in control?
Next time Iu0027ll let go
Take, take it off, take it off
Itu0027s yours
Take, take it off, take it off
Itu0027s yours
And take it All
Why do you feel so in control?
Why do you feel so in control?
Why do you feel so in control?
Next time Iu0027ll let go
Iu0027ll let go, Iu0027ll let go, Iu0027ll let go, Iu0027ll let go
The lyrics to The Van T's song "Control" seems to explore themes of power dynamics and the desire to break free from someone's control. The repetition of the phrase "once you take my hand, once you'll never do it again" suggests that the singer has been subjected to manipulation or dominance by someone in the past. They express a sense of liberation and empowerment, asserting that once the other person tries to take their hand again, they will not be able to regain control.
The repeated question of "why do you feel so in control?" highlights the confusion and frustration the singer feels towards the other person's need for power. It questions the motives behind their desire to control, emphasizing the imbalance in the relationship.
The lines "Take my last bite, I'll give it to you if you really want" display the singer's willingness to let go of something valuable to them, possibly metaphorically representing their last chance or last piece of themselves to offer. This further emphasizes the power dynamic and the other person's hunger for control.
The chorus ends with the intention to let go next time, suggesting a shift in the singer's mindset. They have presumably decided that they will no longer allow themselves to be controlled and are ready to break free from the cycle.
Overall, "Control" portrays a struggle for autonomy and a desire to reclaim personal power in the face of someone who attempts to dominate or manipulate. It explores the complexities of power dynamics and the strength it takes to break free from control.
