This song is following the drugged out/psychedelic theme of the album, and describes someone’s experiences (good and bad) with drug abuse.
[Verse 1]
Add up all the amphetamines and pour them in your mouth
Take a sip of diphenhydramine when your heart starts going south
Grab your chest, rest and hope for the best when your body starts to react
Take some more when the pain gets sore and hope you get forced to rest
[Verse 2]
Take a sip, bite your lip and hope that feeling will hold
Use this time to reflect, rewind and pray that you're not getting cold
Fall asleep when your eyes grow weak and hope that the feeling will stay
You're in control, your body will roll with whatever you throw its way
[Chorus]
You can tell that everything is going well
And pray to hell that you don't start not feeling well
You're in control
You're keeping yourself from growing old
Your body is doing what it's been told
You're not gonna let anything take its hold
(Every day is a nightmare)
[Verse 3]
Square one, when the morning comes you don't have any feeling at all
Your brain is foggy and your thoughts will come with the speed of an outdated gun
[Verse 4]
So grab your chest, rest and hope for the best when your body starts to react
Take your fill and get your thrills
Pray tell to tonight isn't your last
[Chorus]
You can tell that everything is going well
And pray to hell that you don't start not feeling well
You're in control
You're keeping yourself from growing old
Your body is doing what it's been told
You're not gonna let anything take its hold
[Bridge]
So grab your chest, rest and hope for the best when your body starts to react
Take some more when the pain gets sore and hope you get forced to rest
Fall asleep when your eyes grow weak and hope that the feeling will stay
You're in control, your body will roll with whatever out throw its way
[Chorus]
You can tell that everything is going well
And pray to hell that you don't start not feeling well
You're in control
You're keeping yourself from growing old
Your body is doing what it's been told
You're not gonna let anything take its hold
