Out of Control
Wiretree Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just up ahead in the big blue sky
All I need to I know where I should go
Rose lips and escapades
try to learn from my own mistakes
I'm running fast and I know I'm out of control
Fleeting thoughts always in my mind
I know that we are going to be all right
Come on over, I hope you can give me some light
Tell me things that will help you sing
Help me figure out where I've been
I'm running fast and I know I'm out of control
The opening lines of Wiretree's "Out of Control" describe the singer's sense of urgency to keep moving forward, despite feeling uncertain about where he's headed. He's hopeful that he'll find his way, represented by the "big blue sky" ahead, but acknowledges that he's not entirely in control. The allusion to "rose lips and escapades" adds a sense of romance and desire to the song, as if the singer is heavily invested in his own journey and the highs and lows that come with it. He knows that he's made mistakes, but believes that he can learn from them and continue pushing forward.
The second verse adds even more depth to the idea of finding oneself on a journey. The "fleeting thoughts" are a reminder of how quickly time passes and how important it is to make something of that time. However, the singer is also comforted by the belief that everything will ultimately be alright, and he seeks the support of someone he trusts to help him find his way. He recognizes that he needs guidance ("Tell me things that will help you sing"), and is open to learning from others as he continues on this path. In the end, there's a sense of resignation to the fact that, no matter what, the singer will keep running fast and going out of control to reach his destination.

I love everything you do you are giving me so many ideas for my Christmas villages that I display every year .

A couple of ideas for you.
Instead of undoing the wire clips, it’s easier if you pull the wire from the centre, where you’ll see 2 of the clips cross in the centre.
Screw a cup hook into say the edge of your bench, put the centre of the wire strands in the hook, then use both hands to make the horizontal twist, preferably clockwise, so the hook doesn’t unscrew.
ALDI have the wire a couple of times in their sales, so it’s good to stock up

Thank you mate. I had a blast watching you make that incredible little tree. You are an artist!!! = )

Instead of cutting the long ends just keep twisting. You can end with finer branch structure. Love this technique!

I found you tutorial looking for a tutorial on creating wire Bonsai. Honestly, I found you video far more informative than most on the actual subject. Your technique explication and WHY made it easy to replicate. Thank you for that.

I found some old 18 gauge stranded wire, I was able to make weeds and small trees. I'm a train guy and trees are expensive! I'm looking forward to trying this out with thicker wire!
