“‘Control’ is a song about perfectionism. What do you actually lose when you’re no longer in control of everything?” (from LUWTEN’s instagram)
[Verse 1]
For a little bit
I remember it
Clearly
Got a hold of it
But now I’m losing it
Nearly
[Verse 2]
Like a melody
Without boundaries
Fleeing
Hard to keep track of it
It has a mind of its own
[Chorus]
Out of control
Lost all control
Over control
What was under control
It is out of control
It is out of control
It is out of control
[Verse 3]
It runs in my blood
To keep a level head
Pole to pole
It’s a private eye
Man on the inside I
Do as told
[Verse 4]
Tells me all I think
What it is I drink
And pours me out
Like a day old champagne
On the first day of the new year
[Chorus]
Control
Lost all control
Over control
What was under control
It is out of control
It is out of control
It is out of control
[Post Chorus]
Nothing I lose when
When I’m losing you
There's nothing I lose when
[Verse 5]
It isn't physical
What I’ve been holding
Onto
Has always been the thought
So I am thinking hard
To come through (to you)
[Verse 6]
But nothing seems to stick
I think I’m losing it
Or I got rid of it
I’m not getting it
I got lost in it
As if I don’t exist
Oh to hell with it
[Chorus]
Out of control
Lost all control
Over control
What was under control
It is out of control
It is out of control
It is out of control
[Post Chorus]
Nothing I lose when
When I’m losing you
There's nothing I lose when
When I’m losing you

On her own website, LUWTEN has said:
“Control” is a club anthem playing out through the lens of the chronic second guesser, entertaining the thought of gaining something out of the act of losing control.
