LYRICS

Open up my box and pull the string,
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?
I will only listen if you scream,
Lose your voice for me and I will sing your anthem.

Living in fear,
Living afraid,
Hysterical every day,
All because I let your poison paralyze me.

So tell me who's in control,
I'm confused, I don't know.
Tell me who's in control now?
So tell me who's in control,
Is it you? I don't know.
Tell me who's in control now?
My life is yours to hold.

But this wasn't what I signed up for,
Spending more stress than I can afford, and then some.
Killing me with almost no remorse.
Feeling better when I just ignore your presence.

Open up my box and pull the string,
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?
Living in fear,
Living afraid,
Hysterical every day,
All because I let your poison paralyze me.

ok, , , this is such a cool vibe, I love how every song is so distinctly “Set it Off, ” but even so, every song is ALWAYS still new and exciting? AND THEY’RE ALSO ALL ABSOLUTE BANGERS?? art

[hvneytea]

I feel like this whole album is very experimental and I love it

[hamsteregg]

You guys are so underrated... I hope you guys get the recognition you deserve soon!

[allyma]

I feel like this whole album will be about being in a toxic abusive relationship, buisness (In their case), romantic, or family (in my case). I screamed projector at the top of my lungs at the concert, and every day after for like 2 weeks, because this album is starting to describe my dynamic with my mother. Im feeling heard.. im not alone.

Edited to include others intelligent add on, about the buisness relationships.

IT'S HERE! I've been a fan for almost 6 years and you never dissapoint!! I can't wait for the full album

[choose__wiselyy]

Such a new style, but still the familiar cry out against terrible relationships that was a constant theme across the multiple previous albums. I really like where this is headed, but I do hope that if the band/Cody is writing about personal experience that they’ve gotten away from this person/people— <3

[Verse 1]
Open up my box and pull the string
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?
I will only listen if you scream
Lose your voice for me and I will sing your anthem

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fear, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
So tell me who's in control?
I'm confused, I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
So tell me who's in control?
Is it you? I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold

So tell me who's in control

[Verse 2]
But this wasn't what I signed up for
Spending more stress than I can afford
And then some
Killing me with almost no remorse
Feeling better when I just ignorе your presence
[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fеar, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
So tell me who's in control?
I'm confused, I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
So tell me who's in control?
Is it you? I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold

[Refrain]
Open up my box and pull the string
Am I just a musical machine for ransom?

[Pre-Chorus]
Living in fear, living afraid
Hysterical every day
All because I let your poison paralyze me

[Chorus]
So tell me who's in control?
I'm confused, I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
So tell me who's in control?
Is it you? I don't know
Tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold
[Outro]
Tell me
So tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold
So tell me who's in control, now
My life is yours to hold

*-I’m going to give myself Carpal Tunnel with how many times I’ve hit that damn replay button-*

[underthependulum]

This has that skater ring vibe you mentioned on talk it off, I could see people skating to this easily.

Lore wise, I view this as the part of the story where they're trying to find out who's actually the head of the operation controlling them, after realizing how much power they had given up during Projector. They want freedom but have to figure who's actually pulling their strings first.

[landonconner]

Been a big fan of set it off for years. Got into you right after you released Upside Down. I know every song. Happy to see you continue to grow and evolve and put out amazing music

[Bri_Rosi]

Been a fan since Duality. I haven't been disappointed by anything you guys do. I absolutely love how this album is sounding so far

[iamsheileen]

Love this song!! It's still a Set It Off song, but with a bit of a new kick ass twist. Maybe it's the growth of 2+ years of 'forced' hiatus, but it's tight and Cody's voice just gets better with every new album! I wish I could describe it a little better, but either way, this song kicks. You'vè done it again Guys! That I can say for sure!

[hannahabram]

I’m never disappointed🥰🥰 can’t wait for the rest of the album

[petalpielily]

"Musical machine." Nice alliteration. Also, nice eye animation always watching.

[shannpng]

Was about to go to bed but I guess it can wait a bit longer

[oneblackcoffee]

NEVER HAVE I BEEN SO THANKFUL THAT I STAYED UP LATE

[jadethompson]

"I will only listen if you scream" wow that's a powerful sentence there!! Love you Set It Off!!

[meixuan]

Genuinely cant wait for the whole album to come out as well as the lore 👁👁

[blazefurystorm]

BABE WAKE UP ITS A NEW SET IT OFF SONG

[cielthefangirl]

I didn’t know the words to this song so I was just staring at him while he sung during the concert. In a sea of kids I was the only one not dancing and he locked eyes with me lmao it’s funny cause I was more amazed at his beauty then vibing to the music 😂 he must have thought I was a weirdo! That’s my forever memory to this song 😛
