General Information

Amy's description of the song:
|
Terry uses a lot of delay and noises. His guitar playing is really creepy! He also uses a lot of half-step two chords, which I love. I felt like I wasn't really allowed to use stuff like that before, because Ben didn't like it. But songs like 'Lose Control' go from C to a C sharp, back and forth. I love those. It's that Portishead influence.[1] | 
|
Amy has said that the song is about wanting to be less apprehensive and more "loose", and wanting to not have so much responibility.[2]
At the end of the song, after the music begins to fade, faint operatic vocals of Amy Lee can be heard. It can be heard very clearly if you turn up the volume.
During live performances of "Lose Control", a curtain would cover the entire band. Amy, the only one not covered, began to play the piano and sing. When the guitars came in, Amy would jump from the piano and the curtain would come down. The scene was accompanied by many lights. This can be viewed in concerts during the 2007 Winter Tour.

Lyrics
You don't remember my name
I don't really care
Can we play the game your way?
Can I really lose control?
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control, just once
[With all the pretty flowers] in the dust
Mary had a lamb
His eyes black as coals
If we play very quiet, my lamb
Mary never has to know
Just once in my life
I think it'd be nice
Just to lose control, just once
If I cut you down to a thing I can use
I fear there'd be nothing good left of you
Just to lose control, just once
