Out Of Control
Hoobastank · The Reason [2003]
I've followed your rules without question
I thought it would help me see things clearly
But instead of helping me to see
I look around and it's like I'm blinded
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
I don't understand what you want from me
I feel like I'm spinning out of control
Try to focus but everything's twisted
And all alone I thought you would be there
(Thought you would be there)
To let me know I'm not alone
But infact that's exactly what I was
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All of the things you've said to me
I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Is it a mystery?
Is it a mystery?
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
Cause I don't know
If I can trust you
All the things you've said to me
And I may never know the answer
To this endless mystery
Where should I go?
What should I do?
I don't understand what you want from me
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
I'm spinning out of control
Out of control
Out Of Control
Out Of Control stands as a defining track from Hoobastank's breakthrough era, appearing on their 2003 album The Reason. The song captures the band's signature post-grunge sound, blending driving guitar riffs with introspective lyrics that explore themes of emotional turbulence and personal instability. Released during a period of significant commercial success for the group, the recording showcases their ability to craft radio-friendly anthems that resonate with listeners navigating complex feelings. While the album is often celebrated for its title track, this single further solidified the band's reputation for delivering polished, emotionally charged rock music. The recording remains a staple in their discography, reflecting the energetic yet melodic style that characterized their early work and helped establish them as a prominent force in early 2000s alternative rock.
