And seized up on the floor, she s lost control, well i had to phone her friend to state my case
i thought she d die
she s lost control
to lose control
She s lost control, she said i ve lost control
She said i ve lost control, and a voice that told her when and where to act Division, she s lost control
and she showed up all the errors and mistakes
and she expressed herself in many different ways
i just fell down and died
And say she s lost control again, and seized up on the floor, she s lost control
And a voice that told her when and where to act, and she expressed herself in many different ways Control, to lose control
And she turned around and took me by the hand, she s lost control Division, i thought she d die
and say she s lost control again
She s lost control again, she said i ve lost control Control, she s lost control
And she gave away the secrets of her past, until she lost control again, and how i ll never know just why or understand
She s lost control again, and laughed i ve lost control
And laughed i ve lost control, she s lost control
She s lost control again, she s lost control, i could live a little longer in a whiter line
To lose control, when the darkness broke in Control, and laughed i ve lost control
She s lost control, and say she s lost control again
she s lost control
when the urge is gone
she said i ve lost control again
She said i ve lost control again, and she screamed out kicking on her side and said
She s lost control again, i ve lost control again
She s lost control, until she lost control again, and she expressed herself in many different ways
she said i ve lost control again
And seized up on the floor, she s lost control again, and she gave away the secrets of her past
She said i ve lost control again, and she showed up all the errors and mistakes
I could live a little with the myths and lies, and laughed i ve lost control
She s lost control again, to lose control
and she gave away the secrets of her past
Confusion in her eyes that says it all, and said i ve lost control again Control, confusion in her eyes that says it all
She s lost control, i ve lost control again
ian was working for civil service as assistant disablement resettlement officer, he worked closely with disabled people to ensure that they claimed the benefits to which they were entitled, he took an extremely personal interest in his clients and did the utmost for them, he then met a lady with epilepsy, which whom this song is dedicated to, that is a little fact for you all there :)
The now iconic album cover is actually the radio signature of the first ever discovered pulsar back in 1950-something by Jocelyn Bell and some other chap.
Its strange cause when you suffer epilepsy (i have GM epilepsy) its easier to understand all the Ian Curtis-Vocals(his hairstyle might be a late 70s-thing).BTW "Control" is one of the few good band-pictures and I recommend to watch it if someone has it on DVD or somewhere else.
as someone who suffers from panic attacks and anxiety, i can really relate to this song.
I want to build a time machine and go back in time to give Ian a hug.
Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She's lost control.
And she's clinging to the nearest passer by,
She's lost control.
And she gave away the secrets of her past,
And said I've lost control again,
And a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.
And she turned around and took me by the hand and said,
I've lost control again.
And how I'll never know just why or understand,
She said I've lost control again.
And she screamed out kicking on her side and said,
I've lost control again.
And seized up on the floor, I thought she'd die.
She said I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
Well I had to 'phone her friend to state my case,
And say she's lost control again.
And she showed up all the errors and mistakes,
And said I've lost control again.
But she expressed herself in many different ways,
Until she lost control again.
And walked upon the edge of no escape,
And laughed I've lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
She's lost control again.
She's lost control.
LYRICS
From what I know, the song is about someone Ian came to know through his job at an employment office, the young woman had epilepsy and suffered severe seizures. As well, the young woman died from an incident involving a seizure....The song is about her and epilepsy, which by happenstance, Ian Curtis suffered from as well.....
