General information
Written by A. Lee and T. Balsamo
Lose Control is the ninth track from Evanescence's second studio album, The Open Door.
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 responsibility.[2]
In May 2007, the band began to play instrumental parts of the song as an intro to Weight of the World. In October, the full song began to be played at concerts.[3][4]

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
Guitar tabs & sheet music
