about

In the step of the fourth noble truth, this song was shaped to make the listener travel through different stages and emotions, in regards to the idea of "control".
The first part of the song is giving out an impression of oppression and rigidity. The lyrics as well, being the definitions of the term "control".
Then the song brings you to the destruction of this control, in order to reach freedom. Therefore in this second part you can feel the flexibility and expansion of the music and vocals, as well as the lyrics being borrowed from famous quotes, in honor of the freedom of speech.

lyrics

CONTROL

Control.

To exercise authoritative influence over; Direct.
To adjust to a requirement; Regulate.
To hold in restraint; Dominate.
To reduce the spread of. Prevent.
to prevent the flourishing of; Care.
lessen the intensity of; Handle.

A spirit presumed to speak or act through a medium.
A relation of constraint of one entity by another.

Control.

It's hard to free the fool, from the chains he reveres.
Freedom only rings, when opinions clash. Clash.
Set me free.

The only freedom you truly have is in your mind.
Cause a man is free at the moment he wishes to be.
Let it go, let it go, let it go

No one is free until everyone is free.
