John Frusciante - Control Lyrics






It's not the way I go
It's not the way I go
Noone here hears me
I'm sick of people knowing me
Life's confusing me
There's so much I don't see
something's controlling me
It's no way to live
I haven't got a thing to give
And those signs trade off
I'm a line from loud to soft
For what I have to say
I wanted to build a stage
I wanted to feel this way
All this things are real
I don't know my own field
You will prove me wrong
I don't know one
I see now what I've got
It reveals just what is is not
Someday I'll take it away
There's nothing for me anyway
Love don't choose me
wide don't see a thing
What I'm saying is now
I don't know what it's about
I wander through the dawn
so much goes on
Who will make me run
I admit I might be wrong
These letters shelter me now
I wonder how

    'Turn that reverb up.... yeah'

    S.... W....

    Sim What best version

    S.... W....

  2. S.... C....

    this song can take you where nothing else can

  3. a.... ....

    I wish more people listened to him,and understood how incredible his music is. Medicine for the soul.

  4. S.... ....

    Esta cancion de John me hace acordar a aquel dia de 2013 volviendo de Quilmes, 2:00 AM, caminando por Avenida Calchaqui con la que pensaba que era la mujer de mi vida. "Escuchemos musica" dije y no tuvo mejor idea que poner "Curtains" en modo aleatorio, la primera cancion que sono fue esta. Una sensacion increible, todavia recuerdo esos colores, la oscuridad de la noche, las luces de los pocos autos que pasaban, el peligro y la compañia de una hermosa mujer, todo esto con "control" sonando.

  5. S.... ....

    favorite song from Curtains

  6. J.... S....

    este album me cambio la vida irreversiblemente

  7. J.... M....

    hint: this song has a lot to do with joy division, and is referencing a time when he was lost versus a time when he became healed more or less, years later

  8. S.... S....

    I don't know Juan

  9. G.... G....

    ΤΙ ΙΔΙΟΦΥΪ́Α ΡΕ ΦΙΛΕ! ΕΧΩ ΠΑΘΕΙ ΠΛΑΚΑ

    reading the description and noting the quality of the upload, I am happy to find someone who truly appreciates frusciante, not just for his skill with a guitar, but as a poet, philosopher, and most of all, a composer. The man is truly one in a million, and listening to him during my teenage years changed me forever...every solo album (found from listening to chilis) and I listened to every song, every word. Since he's left the chilis they have descended into basic shit.

    T.... ....

    It would be a wonderful thing to see again, I hope he's keeping well

    T.... ....

    @TheGreatUtopiaCat aye brother. see and feel you 100% on this

    T.... ....

    Hey, its been a while since u wrote here but I wondered if u could give me some advice on which solo albums of Frusciante I should listen to in order to get the kind of music both musically but more important lyrically like this song / album. An answer would be great, thanks in advance. Best regards.

    T.... ....

    eliteakm I listen to Shadows Collide with People for traveling, Curtains for soul searching, and the Empyrean for my spirituality. But I even dip into Niandra LaDes and Smile from the Streets You Hold when I’m feeling really depressed. Somehow gets me out of my funk. But also his 2001 records From the Sounds Inside and To Record only Water has this resurrecting quality to it. In my opinion. Honestly you just gotta dig, Frusciante is so diverse you can get just about anything you want out of any of his music

    T.... ....

    And the DC EP there’s only 4 songs on it but they are magical songs... you can tell I’m a huge fan haha

  11. S.... J....

    Nostalgia

  12. P.... J....

    Hay gustos de todo tipo. Lo que tenemos hoy en día es u cultivo masivo de estúpidos, creados por la mercadotecnia (siempre ha existido, pero el hype, a hoy día, es increíble) las canciones de muchos artistas, pero en ciertos y especiales casos, como el de John, golpean más sí conoces su vida un poco.

    Las canciones de John Frusciante (o Juan Burbujas, como me gusta más llamarle. Esto, porque somos muy amigos. Muchas tardes de charla entre sus canciones y yo, ya saben...) son las únicas que me han llevado a tocar puntos muy hondos y dolorosos, algunos esperanzadores pero no de un optimismo idiota. Simplemente no puedo escuchar smile from the streets you hold (más el en vivo, con ese agudo tan de él) sin derramar una gota de cristal líquido purificado de alguno de mis ojos.

    En fin, más bien creo que a los que no les gusta John, no es que necesariamente sean retardados, simplemente que John no es para cualquier hijo de vecina.

    P.... J....

    Pedro Jaime Hernández Díaz fuckyou bitch

  13. A.... V....

    Como puede ser posible que a 3 personas no les guste esta canción!!! si yo vibro cuando la escucho, se me enchina el pellejo!! quizás no sienten ni conocen la magnitud de genio y artista que es John...

  14. a.... g....

    Ha... I did not say "self aware being" to better clarify the difference, like the film Lucy portraits.  =)

  15. a.... g....

    How many years have passed me by? Delirium and I have become well acquainted in accordance to being self aware, there is chaos with no finite end to meet... It all comes back around, a lot like his music did for me. I'm now languid by attunement of his music. 

  16. M.... E....

    This is how I feel sometimes like now. I'm introverted and kinda asocial person.
    I don't understand the social ways and I'm alone all the time.
    I only know myself and my own feelings, which I can't bring them to the 'surface'.
    I can't make empathy with anybody and I don't like to fake to do it. If I do that it's like hurting myself inside because that's not the real me. It's just a ghost.
    I'm feeling so alone, I could cry.
    John is my only companion this moment.

    M.... E....

    boo fucking hoo

    M.... E....

    Stop doing all drugs

    M.... E....

    To passando pela mesma coisa.

    M.... E....

    Ur first name is my middle name

    M.... E....

    Exactely

  17. N.... B....

    Esto es impresionante

  18. P.... V....

    One person look sooo retarded.

  19. g.... ....

    This guy here is in a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL. Just seriously compared with Lennon, F. Mercury, I just dont know. Incredible song, it scares you and ease you in so many ways. And clearly he has all the experience to inspire and capture a feeling on his lyrics since he has also been in the depts of a human condition, and yet he arise like the phoenix he is. Clearly RHCP were slowing him down.

  20. E.... P....

    This song is fucking good.

  21. A.... P....

    John is definitely the music industry's best kept secret.

  22. g.... ....

    What a fucking genius!

  23. N.... M....

    My favorite John Frusciante song x)

  24. M.... ....

    These lyrics, are they about how he felt at the end of his drug addicted time? Cuz that's what I think they're about. That he is actually sick of it all..

  25. S.... O....

    John is such a special human being, and i love him more than anything else in this fucked up world, but i never actually got to meet him, so i'm just glad that at least i can take a peek into his amazing world through his music. and this song really made me feel him, i felt what he went through, and there are not a lot of musicians who can do that.

  26. N.... M....

    you know a songs good when it makes your nipples hard

  27. R.... C....

    There should be a Reaction called "goosebumps"

  28. R.... C....

    @Baptiste210 If you see it from the point of view of what he says in 0:36 then perhaps those 6000 views are the best thing that happened to this song.

  29. R.... C....

    Such an honest voice.

  30. r.... ....

    This is truly, truly special.

  31. M.... ....

    John is the king of melody

  32. C.... ....

    6000 views for this John Frusciante's masterpiece, and 600 000 000 for Bieber's shit. It's time to people wake up.

  33. J.... C....

    john frusciante amen

  34. A.... B....

    speechless, i reckon thats why theres only 4 comments..

  35. f.... �....

    this is now my favourite song ever, holy shit
