About This Track

Alan Walker and Sorana construct a portrait of psychological unravelling across 'Lost Control'. The track moves through states of self-doubt and fracture, the narrator caught between external judgment and internal collapse. Sorana's voice carries the weight of repetition and blame, the refrain "I lost control again" becoming both confession and trap, a cycle the lyrics suggest feels inescapable. The production holds space for vulnerability without melodrama. Beneath the vocal sits restraint, a measured approach that lets the emotional content breathe rather than overwhelm. The song trades in specifics of shame and disconnection without needing to announce them; the lyrics do the work. By the final verse, there is a kind of acceptance in the admission "I am damaged all the way", a small shift from earlier desperation towards something closer to resignation.

"Lost Control" is a track by Alan Walker, from the album Different World, released 14th December 2018. The track is 3:42 long. It's filed under Dance. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Lost Control

Hmm, yeah
Everything they ever liked
Don't see myself inside
Why can't I get it right?
I don't know
You're always watching me fall
Shadows, they like my wall
Why do I feel so small?
I don't know
So I walk into the dead of night
Where my monsters like to hide
Chaos feels so good inside, no more
I lost, I lost
I lost control again
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I don't, I don't
I don't know who I am
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
Oh, I am feeling afraid
But lately I lost my faith
What is love without pain?
It ain't home
You're watching me, but I'm in love
When I get caught, I hope
It's the kind of blackout that will
Take me home
So I walk into the dead of night
Where my monsters like to hide
Chaos feels so good inside, no more
I lost, I lost
I lost control again
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I don't, I don't
I don't know who I am
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I know that I'm a mess
But I ain't tryna be the best
So, whatever's coming next
I better pray (ay,ay, ay)
Never said I was an angel
I am damaged all the way
So, whatever's coming next
I better pray (ay, ay, ay)
I lost, I lost
I lost control again
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I don't, I don't
I don't know who I am
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
