Control Is Often an Illusion
© 2025 R3Zondo

shadows move across the wall
hands reach out but don’t hold at all
every string you think you pull tight
starts to fray in the quiet night

wheels keep turning, not your call
the tide won’t wait, won’t hear you stall

control is often an illusion
we dance in patterns we don’t choose
the more we grip, the more we’re losing
the truth slips by, just out of view

voices roll in like the sea
promising what can’t be guaranteed
maps you drew begin to blur
every road bends, that’s for sure

stars fall silent from the sky
they don’t explain the reason why

control is often an illusion
we chase the wind and call it ours
caught inside the great confusion
reaching up for distant stars

you swear the reins are in your hand
but the ride won’t follow plans
every promise paper thin
every ending unsure again

control is often an illusion
it fades like breath into the air
let go of forced conclusions
there’s a different freedom there

(Summary)

This song came from realizing how much energy we spend trying to steer outcomes that were never fully in our hands. It’s about the quiet fear underneath that need for control and the strange relief that comes when you loosen your grip. I wanted it to feel calm but unsettling, like a truth that keeps circling back until you finally accept it. Letting go isn’t defeat here, it’s clarity.
