Description
It's as if the door was opened too abruptly, and the draught carried away everything superfluous - and with it, some of the former tranquillity. The voice sounds like a report of an escape from a cage, where instead of bars there are one's own thoughts. It seems like freedom, but there is still a chain of reminders around the neck that it won't be ‘too easy’.
The sun bounces off the glass like a ball off asphalt, and a strange feeling flashes inside: it's bright and disturbing at the same time. That very ‘damage control’ is in the air - when it's too late to fix anything, but your hands rise to the sky as if it were a gesture of salvation.
And the whole song is like a manoeuvre on the edge: slightly ironic, a little crazy, but so alive that it doesn't let go until the end.
Lyrics and translation
Original
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh
Ah, ah, ah
They let me out of my cage
Put a chain around my neck
They told me to go easy
They're still inside my head
'Cause I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't put it all aside
Feel the sun ricochet
Out my window
I'm still here for you
No time out, no time out
When they come for you
With arms out, with arms out
Oh-oh, it's damage control
It's damaged control
It's damaged control
Oh-oh, it's damage control
It's damage control
It's damage control
They made me show my date
Put my hands up to the sky, ah-ah
'Cause I wouldn't lie
I wouldn't put it all aside
Feel the sun ricochet
Out my window eyes
I'm still here for you
When they come for you (when they come for you)
Oh-oh, it's damage control
It's damage control
It's damage control (damage, damage)
Oh-oh, it's damage control
It's damage control
It's damage control (damage, damage)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (damage, damage)
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah (damage, damage)
