Analysis of In control (Arpan Dey)
It feels so great
To be in control.
But are we in control?
Are we really in control?
So afraid when
Someone else is in control.
And so confident
When we are in control.
But are we really in control?
Or is there a mastermind?
Or is everything simply uncontrollable?
Oh, who is in control?
We don’t need to know.
At least we’re somewhat in control.
Leave the rest to time –
And just live the life.
