The song is about social micro-observations and the constant questioning and obsession with controlling how one is being perceived.

lyrics

Control it, control it
That's the way you make it all about yourself
I'll own it, I'll own it
I can mess it up enough without your help
Control it, control it
That's the way you make it all about yourself
I'll own it, I'll own it
I can mess it up enough without your help

Look at me, awkward, neurotic
Falling under another spell
The twitch of my eye ain't psychotic
It's just a simple tell that something's out of place
Zonin' into outer space
Stealin' from the wishing well
Look at me how far I fell

Ooo
Ooo

Sticking a fork in the socket
Wanna give 'em a piece of me
The best laid intentions are caustic
I make it up but question the reality

Ooo
Ooo

Control it, control it
That's the way you make it all about yourself
I'll own it, I'll own it
I can mess it up enough without your help
Control it, control it
That's the way you make it all about yourself
I'll own it, I'll own it
I can mess it up enough without your help

Control it, control it
That's the way you make it all about yourself
I'll own it, I'll own it
I can mess it up enough without your help
Control it, control it
That's the way you make it all about yourself
I'll own it, I'll own it
I can mess it up enough without your help

about

Jitensha Montreal, Québec

Jitensha is the garage rock love child of Erin Rose Hubbard and David Martinez. The sound is a silvery union of honey sweet proto-punkiness and modern indie that is harmonically reminiscent of 1950s rock & roll. With vocals, electric guitar and drums, stealing a niche somewhere between the White Stripes and the Civil Wars, Jitensha nestles catchy, poignant melodies into hard hitting rock grooves. ... more
