Control
The song that I am going to analyze is “Control” by Halsey. The song is titled control because, the singer mentioned that she has bipolar disorder, and she feels the constant confusion and frustration of who is actually controlling her state of mind. In the song many things symbolize her state of mind, and how she sees it, which would be like a “deadly disease”.
The important symbol that is used in this song is “I’m bigger than my body, I’m colder than this home”, meaning that she see’s herself as something that is much better than what her body represents or shows, while the other part symbolizes how her other persona can be mean or cold to people. Simply maybe because sometimes she would feel confident, standing up to herself …show more content…
And last but not least of these metaphors is: “all the kids cried out “please stop your scaring me”, I can’t help this awful energy, you should be scared of me”. This could represent how she see’s her state of mind, she thinks that she has blood in her hands, thinking she’s done something bad which is why the kids are scared of her. In the next line she feels more confident saying that she’s more brutal, stating it that she knows that she’s terrifying and is accepting it.
Of course there is a repetition in the song, which is the same line I have stated in the previous paragraph “all the kids cried out “please stop your scaring me”, I can’t help this awful energy, you should be scared of me”, I chose this as a repetition because of it being a chorus, it needs to be repeated over and over, to remind the listeners about what the singer is singing. There is also a personification found in the song, which is “the house was awake” and “the hallways they echoed and groaned” this could be her portraying the house as …show more content…
The other emotion is anger, I think of this because one of the things the singer feels in this song is anger, she angry with her demons, and also she wants to be angry because she wants to be stronger than her own demons, but only for the purpose to defeat them. Of course after she failed, the singer is also angry, angry on what she is and why she isn’t better with herself.
The recurring theme of this song is that most people aren’t as perfect as you might think they would be, and sometimes these people struggle on against their anxiety, depression, disorder and etc. Some people need to fight their inner demons because sometimes that’s what keeps them going on, and holding on the tightrope, this really represent the aspect of some people who are struggling with these kind of things, and this song shows how hard it can be for them. It’s hard because they need to hide these feelings deep inside, and fight this
