The opening track “Lose Control” is a punk rock song that utilises a quiet-and-loud dynamic. The band purposefully wanted the song to be a “proper punch in the face”.
The song features in the soundtrack of the 1998 PlayStation video game Gran Turismo.
[Verse 1]
I can't stop, can't stop thinking
About you at all
I called you up to come around tonight
You wouldn't give a straight answer
But you wouldn't say no
Even though you're going with him
[Chorus]
Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go
[Verse 2]
You arrive with cool in your eyes
And explain to me how he makes you feel
Inside, so safe, secure
Later on as the night is falling
You bring me on with violent words
Desire and being young
[Chorus]
Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go
[Outro]
Here comes the night, it is coming on
The lights are low and our record's on
Inside your veins and you lead me on
Here comes the night, it is coming on
